Grateful Dead, David Gilmour, Frank Zappa Greek Theatre Concert Poster (1984)
Original 1984 Poster | 15 x 20 Inches | Rare Multi-Artist Lineup
This original Greek Theatre concert poster captures a jaw-dropping convergence of legendary artists, featuring the Grateful Dead, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, The Pretenders, and more. Measuring 15 x 20 inches, the poster was created to promote a multi-night, multi-artist series of performances at the iconic Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California, long a favorite venue of the Grateful Dead and the Bay Area music scene.
Dating back to 1984, this poster represents an exceptionally rare moment in live music history where titans of rock, progressive, punk, and psychedelic music came together on a single bill. While not all performers shared the same night, the event series itself reads like a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame roll call, uniting British rock royalty, avant-garde innovators, and American counterculture icons under the same summer sky.
The poster’s design reflects the colorful, screen-printed concert art tradition of the time, likely commissioned by the venue or local promoter. While the artist remains uncredited, the use of clean typography and bold color-block layouts allows the sheer weight of the lineup to command attention.
Produced in limited quantities, this poster was used to promote ticket sales on and around the UC Berkeley campus and in local record stores. Surviving examples are scarce, particularly in good condition, and especially with all featured names intact.
Whether you're a collector of Grateful Dead memorabilia, a fan of '80s rock history, or someone who appreciates rare multi-artist posters, this piece offers a unique glimpse into a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of musical greatness. A powerful artifact from one of the most respected stages in the country.
