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. Promoters like Bill Graham and Chet Helms commissioned a new poster for almost every weekend of shows. Quicksilver Messenger Service was a core band of the San Francisco ballroom scene of the 1960s. This poster advertised a 1966 show in Sacramento. Many 1960s concert posters were designed to be hung in shop windows around town in the days before the show.
Styling this Grateful Dead concert poster
For fans of Grateful Dead, Quicksilver, this 1966 poster from Sacramento 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. This Grateful Dead concert poster also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
