Original 1st printing 11 x 17" concert poster 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 good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; a set of pin/tack holes (all four corners), a 1&1/4" tear in the lower left margin, toning, several semi-pronounced water marks in the top and lower right margins, along with a number of well-hidden splatter stains (this poster was pulled down from public display in 1969), a fair amount of surface wear/toning and a bit of light handling wear, otherwise fine. Very presentable-looking example of this classic late-'69 Grateful Dead poster from one of their only non-San Francisco New Year's Eve shows.
