The Grateful Dead and a group of other rock bands of the times including the Jefferson Airplane, took a lease out on the old Carousel Ballroom on Market Street in San Francisco (formerly the El Patio) back in 1968 which only lasted for several short months. During that time however there were many great shows and dance/concerts that took place. Not to forget the ALWAYS great Tuesday night Jam Sessions for just a Buck! The posters that came out of that period at the Carousel were certainly some of the BEST of the times. This one happens to be a favorite of mine. It was a Saturday night 48 years ago on this day back in 1968 that Moby Grape, along with It's a Beautiful Day and Sweet Rush finished up their two night engagement there at the Carousel Ballroom. The original poster is printed on white stock and measures only 8½" x 14½". A fairly small poster compared to many of the others at the time. It was printed only once and is quite difficult to find these days in any condition! It is unfortunate that the artist for this piece remains unknown to this day. Share this sweet face with a friend!
