Original 1st printing extra-large 30 x 20" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with special guest Hamza El-Din at the Sound and Light Theatre in Gizeh, Egypt on 9/14-16/1978 and at the Rainbow Theater in London, England on 9/19/1978 (*London show canceled). Art by Alton Kelley, the Egypt-only image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 409 (plate 4.239), this version has "European Tour 1978" in place of "Egypt 1978", along with the Rainbow show info in the left ticket panel/Egypt info (in Arabic) in the right panel). Medium-thick glossy stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; all four corners have tiny thin diagonal bends (nothing larger than 1/2"), along with a few ultra-light thin surface scratches and a couple of nearly-invisible handling dings hiding within the image area, otherwise fine. A SUPERB-looking example of one of Kelley's most enduring GD images.
