Grateful Dead Dance Straight Theater Aor 2.224 Fillmore Family Dog Era Poster

EXTREMELY RARE AND ORIGINAL POSTER ADVERTISING A DANCE AT THE STRAIGHT THEATER ON HAIGHT STREET FEATURING THE GRATEFUL DEAD, THE SONS OF CHAMPLIN AND "OTHER GROOVIES". FEATURED IN THE ART OF ROCK AS NO.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS POSTER, WRITTEN IN PEN, IT SAYS "DANCE CLASSES". FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW THE STORY, WHEN THE STRAIGHT (FORMERLY HAIGHT) THEATER FIRST STARTED HAVING LIVE MUSIC SHOWS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HAIGHT ASHBURY, THE CITY FATHERS TOOK A DIM VIEW AND TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED A'CABARET LICENSE IN ORDER TO HAVE LIVE MUSIC. THE STRAIGHT THEATER RESPONDED BY IMMEDIATELY LABELING ALL OF ITS EVENTS AS "DANCE CLASSES" WHERE LIVE MUSIC COULD BE PLAYED WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A CABARET LICENSE. AS TO CONDITION, THIS POSTER SUFFERS FROM TONING (BROWNING) OF THE PAPER IN THE POSTER. THIS TENDS TO DULL THE YELLOWS AND GOLDS IN THE FRONT IMAGE.

CLOSE UP THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE. THERE IS CLEAR TAPE ON THE TWO BOTTOM CORNERS. THERE IS A RAZOR SLIT ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY UP ON THE LEFT SIDE. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED FROM BEHIND WITH ARCHIVAL TAPE AND IS VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE AT THIS POINT. FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS HAND WRITTEN "DANCE CLASSES" IN THE MIDDLE BELOW THE PICTURE (SEE PICTURES) OTHER THAN THAT THIS POSTER HAS NO HOLES, TEARS OR CREASES AND PRESENTS VERY WELL.
