AUCTION - AOR 2.183 - Trip or Freak - Grateful Dead - Mouse Signed 1967 Poster - Near Mint Minus
We are pleased to offer this highly desirable original 1967 poster for a Halloween Eve show at Winterland featuring the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service & Big Brother & the Holding Company. This is the coveted Trip or Freak (Trick or Treat) poster. The artwork is a collaboration by 3 of the psychedelic sixties best: Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, and Stanley Mouse. Mouse drew the wispy lady & lettering up top, Kelley did the collage of Lon Chaney from the Phantom of the Opera and Griffin did the psychedelic lettering of the bands. Rumor had it that the background images of the phantom were dosed LSD tabs. You’ll find the poster prominently pictured in the Art of Rock book on page 185, plate 2.183. The measurements are roughly 26 1/4” x 14 1/4”. The poster has been signed by Stanley Mouse in a fine black sharpie. The poster remains in near mint minus condition, it was stored rolled for years so it still has a bit of a curl, otherwise only light handling. The colors are still well saturated! There are no pinholes, tape, or tears. The back is bright with no staining. A super clean copy and a great opportunity to snag one of the most requested posters out there!
