This original Grateful Dead poster—titled On the Road Again, was created for the band’s legendary 1978 tour and features iconic artwork by psychedelic art pioneers Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley. Measuring 18.5 x 28 inches, the poster comes from the personal archive of Laurence "Ram Rod" Shurtliff, the Grateful Dead’s longtime road manager, crew chief, and spiritual guardian.

The artwork features a cartoon-style skeleton character with top hat and cane, striding confidently across a cosmic American landscape, evoking themes of freedom, exploration, and musical adventure. The design reflects the band’s signature mix of humor, mythology, and countercultural flair.
