The Grateful Dead is arguably the most
popular band in the history of American rock and roll. Their fans
span all age groups and classes, and their concerts were always
packed. When The Dead went on tour, many of their fans would follow
them from show to show. "Dead Heads" are an incredibly devoted and
diverse audience. Over the years the Dead have stacked up a ton of
touring miles and a concert list that seems to go on ad infinitum. A
byproduct of all their touring has been four decades of poster art
that is often brilliant and always underrated by critics. While many of my favorites are in the collection, the posters
in the gallery were selected to portray the widest variety of
styles and artists possible.
