Original 1st printing 18&1/2" diameter silkscreen/offset hybrid concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with Jefferson Airplane and Canned Heat at the Embassy Ballroom in the Ambassador Hotel (the Kaleidoscope venue on Sunset had yet to open) in Los Angeles, CA on 4/14-16/1967. Design by Kaleidoscope Graphics, Inc., image is # 1 in the Kaleidoscope series and is featured in the Art of Rock on page 279 (plate 3.77). Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster (the day-glo pink ink is screened on top of an offset image) is in decent/used (B/B- to B-) condition; a series of horizontal roll creases/bends (resulting in a bit of cracking of the pink pass of ink), a moderated degree of edge wear (numerous small tears, tiny nicks and pieces of clear tape scattered around the outer edges), a few small scattered stress bends and surface dings... this one has seen some life, for sure. Still, a very charming ORIGINAL 1st printing Kaleidoscope # 1 with all of the vibrancy of the colors intact.
