Original 1st printing 20&7/8 x 16&1/4" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing at the Sacramento (CA) Memorial Auditorium on 8/12/1972. Design by/show presented by Pacific Presentations, a nearly-identical image (from Seattle) is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 377 (plate 4.141). Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in decent/used (B-) condition; a large 3" tear (with a thin pull at the bottom), along with a pair of 1" tears (all taped on the reverse) and a few tiny mouse-bite nips out of the top margin, a light amount of edge/corner wear (small bends and a tiny dog-ear split or two), a few scattered handling dings and stray surface smudges, otherwise fine. Not the most striking Dead poster out there, but for a '72 original 1st printing, it's just fine for the budget-oriented Dead enthusiast. Check out the show (with amusing between-song banter) HERE; http://archive.org/details/gd1972-08-12.sbd.gems.104168.flac24
