Grateful Dead Movie Poster (1977)
Dimensions: 40.75 x 61 inches
This original 1977 Grateful Dead Movie poster is a true relic from one of the most iconic moments in the band's history. Measuring an impressive 40.75 x 61 inches, this oversized print was created to promote the theatrical release of The Grateful Dead Movie, a psychedelic documentary-concert film directed by Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast.
The film captures the Grateful Dead’s legendary October 1974 five-night run at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, the final shows before the band took a two-year hiatus from live touring. Shot with multiple cameras and enhanced with hand-drawn animations, the movie is widely regarded as one of the most immersive concert films ever produced. Its release in 1977 gave fans a visual and sonic time capsule into the magic of the early '70s Dead era.
The poster itself is a piece of visual history. Created with striking, era-defining graphics and colors, it reflects the band’s signature blend of counterculture mysticism and improvisational freedom. While the artist behind the design remains uncredited, the poster’s style fits squarely within the canon of late-1970s psychedelic visual art.
These original posters were printed in limited quantities for theater use and are now incredibly scarce—especially in such a large format. Measuring nearly 3.5 by 5 feet, it’s a bold, statement-sized artifact that’s perfect for framing and display in any collection.
Whether you're a Deadhead, a vintage poster collector, or a fan of psychedelic cinema, the Grateful Dead Movie poster stands as a powerful tribute to one of the most transformative moments in the band’s journey, and a rare chance to own a true piece of Dead history.
