Grateful Dead 1966 "The Quick and the Dead" FD-12-OP-1 First Printing Avalon Ballroom Purple Day Glo Painted Poster

Presenting a true gem for Grateful Dead enthusiasts and poster collectors: the original 1966 "The Quick and the Dead" FD-12-OP-1 first printing poster from the Avalon Ballroom. This hand-painted purple Day Glo poster is not only one of the rarest early Family Dog Avalon Ballroom treasures but also one of the most historically significant.

Used to advertise the Grateful Dead's June 10-11, 1966 shows, this poster is notable for featuring the first skeleton image associated with the band, a motif that Alton Kelley & Stanley Mouse famously expanded upon with their iconic FD-26 Skeleton & Roses poster a few months later.

Due to its rarity, many professional poster collectors have never seen or handled one of these original, venue-used posters. Measuring 14 3/32” x 19 7/8”, this piece of rock history is a must-have for any serious collector.
