About this poster
Art from Grateful Dead's triple live album, Europe '72.
"That was 1972. This was when there weren’t any art directors for the Grateful Dead. If I tried to do that now they would say ‘are you crazy?’ It was originally an airbrush painting.
They gave us the titles, and the titles actually never came out on the album, the front was ‘Over There” and the back was ‘Stepping Out’ which we titled “Rainbow Foot.” They canned the titles on the final covers. So I did a painting of the front and back cover originally, a small painting, then Kelley and I did a big painting in airbrush of each of them.
The image started out because of a joke, and it was a spastic joke, which is not really politically correct, but there were spastic jokes going around in the 50s. If you gave Johnny a quarter and he could put the quarter on his forehead, then you give him an ice cream cone. Then he took the ice cream and put it on his forehead. So it was a bit of running joke with me and Alton Kelley. We were at a Halloween party in costumes and we got really stoned and we both simultaneously did that to our foreheads. It kinda just meant this was really crazy." - SM
