Original 1st printing 23&1/2 x 33&1/8" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing at Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark on 4/16/1972. Design by Gunther Kieser, image (an identical tour blank with an imprinted date for 9/14/1974 in Frankfurt) is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 408 (plate 4.237). Medium-thin flat index stock poster is in decent/used (B/B- to B-) condition; a hard horizontal fold and a semi-pronounced vertical fold (these were issued folded in 1/4ths) a few small to decent-sized tears along the top margin and in the lower left corner, , heavy creasing/wear and in the lower left corner (a couple of tears have been reinforced on the reverse with a piece of duct tape), a few stray stress/handling bends, a set of tack/pinholes... this one obviously had a robust existence, likely because it was dragged through Europe for the remainder of the tour in a Grateful Dead road case before being brought back to the good old U.S.A. UNBELIEVABLY SCARCE Grateful Dead poster from the Europe '72 tour, check out this INCREDIBLE pro-shot video of the very next night in Copenhagen; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt67BUeQ1-Q
