Original 1st printing (*"blocked") 7 x 11" concert flyer/oversized handbill for the Grateful Dead appearing with Charlie Musselwhite and Petris at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco, CA from 5/30-6/1/1968. Art by Alton Kelley, image ("Memorial") is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 179 (plate 2.160). Medium-thin flat index stock flyer is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from the aforementioned blocked dates, there are just a few light fingerprint smudges and a couple of nearly-invisible soft bends around the outer margin, otherwise it is an absolutely SUPERB example of this classic 1968 Grateful Dead image from the Carousel. *This is the "blocked dates" version with the days of the week (Friday/Saturday/Sunday) at the top of the poster blacked out by hand with magic marker (most of the distributed examples exhibit this trait).
