About The Grateful Dead
Grateful Dead posters and album art, from skeletons and roses to dancing bears, are central to psychedelic design. Grateful Dead fans, known as Deadheads, followed the band from city to city for decades. Many 1960s concert posters were designed to be hung in shop windows around town in the days before the show. The Grateful Dead formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965 and became famous for long, improvised live shows. Quicksilver Messenger Service was a core band of the San Francisco ballroom scene of the 1960s. Poster artists such as Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse and Rick Griffin defined the San Francisco psychedelic style.
