Original 1st printing 15 x 29" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with the New Riders of the Purple Sage at Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis, MN on 10/19/1971. *this was Keith Godchaux' first live performance with the Dead.

 Art by Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse, medium-thick semi-gloss stock poster is in good (B) condition; there are tack holes with a couple of tiny wedge pulls in all four corners and in the top/bottom center margins, plus a small amount of pen scratch in the lower left margin, a series of tiny pin-prick indentations and a couple of tiny edge tears in the bottom center margin, a series of light edge creases, light handling wear and a few tiny hairline-thin stress creases and pin-prick age spots scattered around the image area, otherwise fine.

 While the image turns up fairly frequently, this particular show is notable not only for being Keith's first show, but also for the debut performances of SIX classic Grateful Dead songs: "Jack Straw", "Tennessee Jed", "Mexicali Blues", "Comes a Time", "Ramble on Rose" and One More Saturday Night"; stream the show (as broadcast on KQRS-FM) HERE:
