Sell Your Grateful Dead Skeleton And Roses Avalon Concert Poster
Here is a Grateful Dead Skeleton And Roses Avalon concert poster we sold:
1966 Grateful Dead Concert Poster
The Grateful Dead concert poster, datelined 16-17 September 1966, Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco. Poster’s third printing, measuring 14″ x 20,” pre-dates The Dead’s 1967 self-titled debut album. Contains wicked illustration by Mouse featuring The Dead’s skeleton mascot surrounded by dozens of blooming roses. Original concert bill takes the viewer back to the days when the San Francisco clan of Jerry Garcia (lead guitar, vocals), Bob Weir (rhythm guitar), Ron “Pigpen” McKernan (organ, vocals), Phil Lesh (bass), and Bill Kreutzmann (on drums) ruled the roost as the ultimate jam band. Excellent memento from the cosmic group’s hometown concert, during which they performed Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” the Cropper/Pickett hit “In The Midnight Hour,” and the Dead classic “I Know You Rider.” Bright red, white and blue color scheme, corner wear, overall mint. Sold for $858.
The following are some additional concert posters we sold:
Very Rare Doors Poster From a 1967 Performance at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood
Original circular hand-pulled silkscreen poster, promoting a three day performance by the up-and-coming band The Doors, at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood on 21-23 April 1967. A series of 20 posters were issued by Kaleidoscope in 1967, one for each concert that year. This dayglo fluorescent poster is considered to be the most rare in the Kaleidoscope series because of the type of ink used by artist John Douglas Kline in production. Posters in this series are almost non-existent because they were issued for promotion only, and the silkscreens used to produce the posters were burned in a fire. The Kaleidoscope was a psychedelic rock venue run by the management of the band Canned Heat. It was only open for roughly six months in 1967, with many memorable bands performing in that brief time. The venue was housed at the Earl Carroll Theater, which was then located at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, and featured two concentrically rotating stages at the center of the venue. For The Doors performance, the show was moved to a club called Ciros, at 8433 W. Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, (which is now the Comedy Store) since the original location of the club at the Earl Carroll Theatre had yet to be finalized. Circular poster depicts a silhouette of the faces of The Doors, with the band names in psychedelic 60’s font, and is printed in bright shades in a color combination meant to play tricks on the eye, as if looking through a psychedelic kaleidoscope. Previously owned by Alan Brackett, the original bass player in the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, who played with The Doors at this venue, along with The UFO. Poster measures 18.75″ in diameter, with some pinholes around the edge and very minor creasing. Near fine condition. Sold for $3,936.
Charles Schulz original hand-drawing of Snoopy, signed by Schulz. Illustration of Snoopy in a ranger’s hat and backpack was used for a poster to promote the ”Open Nature” concert on 27 April 1999, with members of the Grateful Dead playing. Drawing is accompanied by the concert poster, signed by Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and by Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar. Illustration of Snoopy is complemented by a nature scene of mountains and trees, drawn by Brooks Anderson, and signed ”Brooks ’99”. Lot also includes a laminated pass to the event, also showing the illustration of Snoopy. Schulz illustration measures 8” x 10” inside of black frame measuring 12.5” x 14.5”. Poster measures 13” x 19.5” inside of gold frame measuring 17.5” x 22”. Near fine. Sold for $3,933.
