Product description
A 1966 concert poster, known as “Skeleton & Roses”, with Grateful Dead on the bill.
About The Grateful Dead
Grateful Dead fans, known as Deadheads, followed the band from city to city for decades. The Grateful Dead formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965 and became famous for long, improvised live shows. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. This poster advertised a 1966 show. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. Some 1960s concert posters were designed so the lettering was deliberately hard to read, inviting a second look.
Styling this Grateful Dead concert poster
This 1966 poster for Grateful Dead brings a slice of 1960s music history to the wall. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. Finish this Grateful Dead concert poster with a black or antique-gold frame for a clean, gallery-style look. This Grateful Dead concert poster also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps. Keep this Grateful Dead concert poster out of strong direct sunlight to protect its colours.
