Original 1st printing 5&1/2 x 7&1/4" concert handbill for the Grateful Dead with Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 3/15-17/1968. Art by Allen "Gut" Turk, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 181 (plate 2.169). Medium-thin flat card stock handbill is in superb near mint (A-) condition; aside from a whisper of handling and a nearly-invisible tiny discoloration next to the "F" of "Franklin", it's as bright/crisp/fresh as they come- collection ready. This was also the unofficial opening night of the Carousel as a band-managed venue. You can stream a soundboard of the 1/17 show here;
