Product description
A 1978 concert poster, known as “Blue Rose”, with Grateful Dead on the bill at Winterland in San Francisco.
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 were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive. It was designed to promote a 1978 concert at the Winterland. Winterland, a former ice rink in San Francisco, hosted many of Bill Graham’s biggest shows. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night.
Styling this Grateful Dead concert poster
For fans of Grateful Dead, this 1978 poster from the Winterland is a striking way to bring live-music history home. At 24×36″ it becomes a statement piece, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. A black or antique-gold frame suits this Grateful Dead concert poster well and keeps the focus on the image. For a gallery wall, pair this Grateful Dead concert poster with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
