A Good Find

We all have our little haunts. I go into pretty much every antique mall, shop, record store…I’m sure I’ve been to thousands over the years in 48 states and a few countries. I love to browse, just educating myself on what’s out there in the collectibles world.  I’m mainly a collector of concert posters and they’re pretty tough to come by offline these days, but I just love looking at old stuff. 
A find that blew my mind. I've always really dug the album and the bootlegs from The Dylan and The Dead tour. I especially like the "Slow Train Comin with the heavy Brent Mydland vocal.

A find that blew my mind. I've always really dug the album and the bootlegs from The Dylan and The Dead tour. I especially like the "Slow Train Comin" with the heavy Brent Mydland vocal.

So, I was doing just that, walking the isles of one of my favorite spots here in Vermont. It’s an antique mall, which can often be terrible collections of cast-offs, but this one is always fun, lots of pop culture material and always some new stuff. Sometimes I’ll find some vinyl for my record shop. I noticed at one booth an East Bay poster for sixties side-liners Stoneground by Randy Tuten. Nothing I want, but interesting that it’s there. After more perusing I come across a wall downstairs with some framed Fillmore handbills and cards. Also some rare rimages, including a Grateful Dead Mouse and Kelley “memorial” handbill, but all the rarer stuff was pirate printings and/or bootlegs. And then there it is: a 1988 Dylan and the Dead flyer from Autzen Stadium in Eugene Oregon. I immediately take it off the wall in it’s frame an take a closer look, and sure enough, it’s the real thing.

Those of you who are familiar with my website and collections know I have the most extensive collection or Northwest telephone pole posters form 1980 to present on the planet. And I’m a Deadhead (though equally into punk, country, jazz and just about everything else). On top of that, it’s size is 8.5 x11. I love the 8.5 x 11 flyers because they fit so nicely into a regular binder with archival sleeves making them easy to store, flip through, and when your dealing with collection of my magnitude, simply find.

I was and still am thrilled to have come across it the way I did. Like it was waiting for me. Turns out a former Grateful Dead roadie lives in the area and was parting with some goodies, reminding me I’m on the right path.
