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 are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. This poster advertised a 1967 show. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night.
