Available is an authentic original Grateful Dead concert poster for the band's performance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Armory on May 7, 1970. This poster is printed on thick card stock and measures 11 inches wide and 14 inches in length. There are light smudges, small stains and thin scuff line marks on the artwork and on the white borders. The corners are dinged with creases.
The bottom right corner shows heavier creasing. There is a pin hole at the top center. I cannot confirm this, but the artwork appears to have been hand-painted onto the poster since the art almost has a felt-like feel rather than what a screen print would feel on paper, and the opposite side shows a "blueprint" of the finished poster. Two artists signed their names at the two bottom corners within the art.
The art shows no signs of fading. This is an excellent piece of Grateful Dead history!
