Warfield Theatre Concert Poster (1994) ft. Bob Weir, Hot Tuna, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and More

This rare, oversized Warfield Theatre concert poster commemorates a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of rock legends on May 25, 1994, at San Francisco’s iconic Warfield Theatre. Measuring 18 x 36 inches, this horizontal box office poster was designed to mimic the Warfield’s marquee signage, capturing the excitement and scale of a landmark benefit event for rainforest preservation.

Headlined by Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, the concert featured an all-star lineup including Crosby, Stills & Nash, Hot Tuna, Johnny Winter, and more. Organized as a high-profile environmental benefit, the show brought together artists across generations in a shared mission of musical celebration and global awareness.

The poster’s bold, type-driven design is credited to Rex Ray, a revered San Francisco-based graphic artist and longtime visual collaborator with the Grateful Dead and related acts. Ray’s modern-meets-psychedelic aesthetic makes this piece as visually dynamic as the night it represents.

Produced in extremely limited quantities for box office display only, this poster was never sold to the public, making surviving copies rare and highly collectible. Each band’s name appears in capital block letters against a clean, black background, evoking the Warfield’s classic signage while letting the star power of the lineup speak for itself.

Whether you’re a Deadhead, a fan of Bay Area rock history, or a collector of concert memorabilia, this piece is a bold and authentic artifact from a historic night of music, activism, and community. Framed or mounted, it stands as both artwork and evidence of a cultural moment when legends came together for a cause.

A must-have for serious collectors of vintage rock posters and Grateful Dead ephemera.
