Original 1st printing ("The Food" 1968) 14&1/8 x 22" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with Morning Glory at King's Beach Bowl in Lake Tahoe, CA from 2/22-24/1968. Art by Bob Fried, image ("Trip & Ski") is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 263 (plate 3.29). Medium flat index stock poster is in SUPERB near mint (A-) condition; just a nearly-invisible thin horizontal drip stain/discoloration right above the ticket strip, a tiny stain on the reverse and a whisper of handling wear (a soft pinch ding or two hiding within the image area) and that's IT... a VERY sharp/crisp 1st printing example of this perennially popular Dead poster. Portions of these shows were released as "Dick's Picks, Volume 22".
