GRATEFUL DEAD JANIS JOPLIN 1967 HALO Benefit Poster STANLEY MOUSE SIGNED CGC 9.6

Description: For sale is a stunning 1967 HALO Benefit Poster featuring the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane (AOR-2.206), SIGNED by the legendary rock n roll artist Stanley Mouse— graded CGC 9.6!! This original first-printing concert poster was created for a benefit show at Winterland Arena, where the San Francisco "big five" bands came together for a singular cause: raising funds for the Haight-Ashbury Legal Organization. This unique lineup included the Grateful Dead, Big Brother & the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and the Charlatans—the group that started it all. Designed by the iconic trio of concert-poster artists Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, and Alton Kelley, this piece is a significant artifact from the era. Notably, it has been stylistically signed by Stanley Mouse, adding to its value and collectibility. The Art of Rock book mentions that this poster is from 1966, but it is most definitely from 1967, as confirmed by multiple poster dealers. The event was a precursor to the Summer of Love, organized by Grateful Dead lawyer Brian Rohan, who co-founded HALO to assist the influx of hippies arriving in San Francisco. This remarkable concert raised over $12,000 at $2.50 per ticket—a substantial amount for that time. Interestingly, Griffin, Mouse, and Kelley chose to forgo the typical psychedelic imagery for this poster, opting instead for a vintage photograph of a wistful-looking man with a button on his tweed jacket that reads, "Indian Agent." His gentle expression adds a layer of intrigue to this extraordinary piece. Measuring 14" x 18", this poster has been graded to 9.6 Near Mint Plus by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company). Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a piece of rock history that captures a momentous collaboration in music!
