Original 1st printing 36 x 24" Warner Brothers Records/Mouse Studios promotional poster for the Grateful Dead's 1972 live album "Europe '72". Art by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley (who also SIGNED the poster in black pen), thin glossy stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; a thin diagonal roll bend in the extreme upper left margin, a bit of handling wear/light creasing, a series of ultra-soft tiny pin-prick age spots along the left margin, a thin stress bent underneath the "G" of "Grateful", a very soft 3-4" diagonal bend in the bottom left corner and a few scattered edge dings, otherwise fine. Most of these posters were machine-folded for distribution, but this example lays flat and is free of folds. GORGEOUS early 1970's Dead promo poster featuring a super psychedelic juxtaposition of the "Ice Cream Kid" and the "Rainbow Foot" icons, HAND-SIGNED by Alton Kelley. Here they are in Copenhagen on 4/17/1972; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84QkKF-LF6s
