Original 1st printing 11 x 17" concert poster and matching 4&5/8 x 7&1/4" concert handbill for the Grateful Dead at the Boston Tea Party (15 Lansdowne Street location) in Boston, MA on 12/29-31/1969. Art by Bob Driscoll, the image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 307 (plate 3.171). Medium flat index stock poster is in spectacular near mint (A- to A-/B+) condition; just a tiny 1" bend and edge nip in the upper right corner, otherwise it's just as crisp/bright an example as I've ever seen. The matching handbill is in ultra-crispy A/A- condition.... a FANTASTIC-looking pair of original '69 Dead items from one of the band's only non-San Francisco New Year's shows. You can read all about the December 1969 exploits of the G.D.
