The 1st printing poster has a rich brown background which matches the postcard. It was printed on beige stock before the concert and displays small vertical rows on the reverse side. It measures 14" x 21 13/16".
The post-concert 2nd printing displays a lighter shade of brown. It was printed on off-white stock, but displays the same vertical rows described in the 1st printing. On the bottom right hand corner is a very small area that reflects a black dot screen effect. It measures 13 15/16" x 21 3/4".
The 3rd printing is the same lighter shade of brown and displays the same bottom right hand dot screen effect as the 2nd printing. It is printed on beige stock like the original poster, but does not have vertical rows in the paper stock. It measures 14" x 21 13/16" and was printed after the concert.
Herb Greene's work chronicles the heyday of Haight-Ashbury. Living in the neighborhood, Greene worked by day as staff photographer for a San Francisco department store and photographed the early rock scene on his own time. Greene's artistic reputation grew with the musical milieu; he shot the cover of Jefferson Airplane's first album and is considered by many to be the 'official' photographer of The Grateful Dead. After a 15 year respite, Greene re-involved himself in rock photography. He's published two books, exciting pictorial histories of The Dead and has had several successful exhibits and tours of his work.
