Phil Lesh & Friends 2nd Annual Philathon, NYC Concert Poster (2008) – Signed by Phil Lesh

Original 2008 Poster | Signed by Full Band Lineup | Dimensions: 20.5 x 14.5 inches

This original Phil Lesh & Friends concert poster commemorates the 2nd Annual Philathon, a multi-night residency held at Nokia Theatre Times Square in New York City from October 31 to November 18, 2008. Measuring 20.5 x 14.5 inches, the poster is hand-signed by Phil Lesh, founding bassist of the Grateful Dead, along with the complete 2008 Phil & Friends lineup: Steve Molitz, John Molo, Larry Campbell, Jackie Greene, Teresa Williams, and Barry Sless.

The 2008 Philathon marked a special moment in post-Dead history, a stretch of 14 performances over 19 days in the heart of Manhattan, where Phil and his ever-evolving group of collaborators dug deep into the Grateful Dead songbook while also exploring new interpretations and original compositions. The lineup featured a dynamic mix of rock veterans and jam-scene favorites, with each artist bringing a unique flavor to the ensemble’s improvisational sound.

The poster’s design leans into a bold, modern aesthetic fitting the energy of the Times Square venue and the extended run. Though the visual artist is uncredited, it reflects the clean, digital design style common to late-2000s concert promotion.

Produced in limited quantities for the event and signed by the full performing lineup, this piece is an incredibly rare artifact, especially given the size and condition of the poster and the completeness of the signatures. Each autograph was hand-applied, making every copy unique.

Whether you're a lifelong Deadhead, a collector of signed memorabilia, or someone who attended these unforgettable NYC shows, this signed Phil Lesh & Friends poster is a historic and personal piece of modern Dead lineage. An essential addition to any serious Grateful Dead or live music collection.
