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. Many 1960s concert posters were designed to be hung in shop windows around town in the days before the show. The Fillmore West, run by promoter Bill Graham, was a key San Francisco rock venue from 1968 to 1971. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night.

Styling this Grateful Dead concert poster

This Grateful Dead concert poster is a simple way to give a room personality and a sense of history.

A black or antique-gold frame suits this Grateful Dead concert poster well and keeps the focus on the image. This Grateful Dead concert poster also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
