Grateful Dead

Designers Alton Kelly and Stanley Mouse created one of the greatest concert posters of all time for a 1966 Grateful Dead show, making skeletons with flowers part of the band’s iconography; thanks to similar cover art, this untitled 1971 double album has become known as SKULL & ROSES. The Dead’s second live collection showcases the original five-piece band (plus organist Merl Saunders) playing some of their hardest hitting rock 'n' roll and introduces such soon-to-be standards as “Bertha,” “Playing In The Band” and “Wharf Rat.” The group’s first Gold-certified set, SKULL & ROSES has just been re-released on translucent lemonade vinyl as part of Rhino’s 2025 Start Your Ear Off Right campaign.
