Original 1st printing 6&1/2 x 7&5/8" concert handbill for the October 1968 schedule of shows held at the Matrix in San Francisco, CA. Shows listed include: Elvin Bishop from 10/8-12, Jerry Garcia (GARRCEEAH) and Friends (A/K/A "Mickey & the Hartbeats") from 10/8-10, Marvel Farm from 10/11-12, Harvey Mandel and Mad River from 10/15-17, Allmen Joy from 10/18-19, Mint Tattoo from 10/22-24, Steve Miller from 10/22-16 and Linn County from 10/25-27. Art by George Chacona and Marty Rice, image (full color poster) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 166 (plate 2.118) -this is the (very scarce) MONOCHROME handbill. Medium-thin flat index stock handbill is in stunning near mint (A-) condition; aside from a nearly-invisible soft bend in the lower right corner tip, it is just about as sharp as you can ask for. Very clean Matrix handbill from a somewhat tumultuous time for the Dead. Stream the 10/8 show HERE; https://archive.org/details/gd68-10-08.sbd.belaff.17691.sbeok.shnf
