Product description
A 1971 concert poster with Grateful Dead on the bill in Lancaster, PA.
About The Grateful Dead
The Grateful Dead formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965 and became famous for long, improvised live shows. Grateful Dead posters and album art, from skeletons and roses to dancing bears, are central to psychedelic design. Concert posters capture a moment in music history, down to the venue and the date. This poster advertised a 1971 show. In the 1970s, rock moved into arenas and its posters became bigger, bolder and more graphic. Some 1960s concert posters were designed so the lettering was deliberately hard to read, inviting a second look.
Styling this Grateful Dead concert poster
For fans of Grateful Dead, this 1971 poster is a striking way to bring live-music history home. 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. Build a gallery wall around this Grateful Dead concert poster: add two or three smaller prints that echo its colours and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
