I think there is a certain cachet to having one that was actually put up on a telephone pole.
Not that poor condition makes it more valuable, just cooler.
But this is a short description.

December 9-11, 1966: Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA: Grateful Dead/Tim Rose/Big Mama Thornton
The Grateful Dead were sole headliners at the Fillmore for the first time on the weekend of December 9-11. They had shared top booking a number of times, depending on how you want to define "top," but there's no question they were the principal attraction this weekend. Big Mama Thornton was just starting to get known to white hippies, but she wasn't a big draw. Tim Rose had had some modest hit singles, and was getting a little radio airplay, but he was no headliner. Thus, the Dead were topping the bill by themselves, another sign of their rising popularity.
I have speculated about these shows at length, mainly from the point of view that Tim Rose almost certainly performed his own very different arrangement of "Morning Dew." The Dead's version is so different that I doubt there was any musical influence from Rose, but I wouldn't be surprised if hearing Rose's version was an impetus for Garcia and the Dead to start playing their own arrangement publicly.
OOFF!!!!
wow, would like a few of these on my wall for sure!!
yeah, o.g. for sure, not from a telephone pole though, old lady (hippie artist type) told me she got them together with some records she bought back in the 60s, had them laying in a cupboard for years before pulling them out for a fleamarket..
