Grateful Dead #3
Concert poster for the Grateful Dead and the Sopwith Camel performing at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. The concert dates were for two nights, August 19 and 20, 1966.
Poster Details

Artists: The poster was designed by the notable psychedelic era artists Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse.
Family Dog Series: It is the 22nd image in the Family Dog poster series (FD-22), which promoted shows at the Avalon Ballroom.
"Frankenstein" Design: The central artwork features an adaptation of Edmund J. Sullivan's illustration of the Frankenstein monster.
Misspelling: The poster is famous among collectors for misspelling the band's name as "Greatful Dead," as the artists were new to working with the band and unsure of the correct spelling at the time.
