Poster: GRATEFUL DEAD WINTERLAND CLOSING BLUE ROSE ORIGINAL POSTER SIGNED BY KELLEY

About the Poster

Offered is the iconic first print poster original 1st print (identified by quality paper stock and strong yellow color) used to mark the closing of Winterland. The concert was held on New Year’s Eve 1978 and featured the Grateful Dead whose New Year Eve concerts were legendary previously performing numerous times at the Fillmore Auditorium often until sunrise with breakfast served. Breakfast was even advertised on this poster with “Breakfast served at dawn” noted near the bottom.
