Unbound. Fourth printing, BG-38-RP-4. Artwork by Wes Wilson. Measuring 13 7/16" x 21". Some light curling at the corners, else near fine. A concert poster for an early Grateful Dead performance. "Presented in San Francisco by Bill Graham," the bottom explains that tickets were available from City Lights Bookstore, The Tides Bookstore, Kepler's Bookstore, The Psychedelic Shop, and elsewhere. The performances were held three days, November 18, 19, and 20. According to bootleg recordings uploaded to *The Internet Archive* The Dead only repeated two songs in their sets for the 18th and 19th, "Beat It Down the Line" and "The Same Thing," and during the first night's show they covered Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." Supporting The Dead were The James Cotton Blues Band and Lother and The Hand People, who are considered to be one of the first rock bands to incorporate synthesizers.
