About this poster
This is a beautifully detailed concert poster titled "Goodbye" for the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well shows in Chicago celebrating 50 years. The poignant central image symbolically captures the farewell theme - a red hot air balloon with the iconic "Steal Your Face" skull logo carries a skeleton figure in Victorian dress who tips his top hat one final time before drifting away into the sky, representing the band's final goodbye to their fans. The balloon basket displays American flags on either side, fitting for the July 4th weekend shows.
The design is framed by ornate decorative elements including skeleton hands making peace signs on either side, sunflowers, and scrollwork in red and gold. The color palette consists of deep teal blue background with red, gold, and cream accents.
The text at the top reads "FARE THEE WELL CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF GRATEFUL DEAD" and includes the names of the performers (Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh & Bob Weir with Trey Anastasio, Jeff Chimenti and Bruce Hornsby). The dates July 3rd, July 4th, and July 5th 2015 are displayed on banners at the bottom, along with "SOLDIER FIELD" and "CHICAGO, IL."
The poster masterfully combines Victorian-era styling with the Grateful Dead's psychedelic aesthetic, creating a touching tribute that captures the bittersweetness of the band's final shows together.
