NotesA neatly constrained design reminiscent of BG030 characterizes this poster headlining The Grateful Dead, who were still largely a local group. Offering mixed fare, big-draw Lightnin' Hopkins brought blues to the table. The set contains a t-shirt, a 4th printing poster (14" x 20") and a second printing postcard (4 15/16" x 8"). Print Variations The handbill was printed once before the concert and measures 5 3/16" x 8". It was printed on two different stocks, one more porous and coarse than the other, though both are .0085" thick, and both are original printings.
