Grateful Dead - Mardi Gras - 1995

The Dead started playing their Mardi Gras shows at the Henry J Kaiser Auditorium in Oakland CA back in February 1986. Mardi Gras shows always included a parade with giant costumes and New Orleans-themed decorations and sometimes musicians from NOLA like the Neville Brothers. Since this was 1995, it would be the last of these fun shows.

This cool poster was designed by Troy Alders an art director and designer who currently works for Lucasfilm. His work has been showcased at an exhibition of emerging artists at CBGB’s in New York, The Art of the Dead at ArtRock Gallery in San Francisco and The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and is included in the permanent collection at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland. He has taught graphic design at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco for the past 10 years and received his BFA from CalArts in Southern California.
