Original 1st printing 16&7/8 x 21&7/8" cardboard concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing at the Philadelphia (PA) Civic Center on 8/4/1974 (second show added on 8/5). Art by Naomi Helene Gross, thick semi-gloss-coated cardboard stock poster is in good (B) condition; there is an approximately 1" pull in the upper left margin, along with a tack hole in the top center margin, a series of fairly well-camouflaged thin stress bends, hairline creases and tiny pin-prick surface spots scattered throughout the image area, a few tiny splits in the corner tips, a series of edge dings along the bottom margin and a light amount of surface wear (light toning and a couple of soft smudges), otherwise fine. EXCESSIVELY SCARCE low-run regional Grateful Dead concert poster from a fondly-remembered set of mid-'70's shows held in the City of Brotherly Love. I have seen a number of handbills from this show over the years, NEVER the poster.
