The Grateful Dead has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide, known for their unique psychedelic style and devoted fan base known as "Deadheads". As one of the founding members of the Dead, Jerry Garcia helped build a band whose music touched on ground that most other groups didn't even know existed. Unsurprisingly, having built the band off of the counterculture and psychedelia of the 1960s, Garcia struggled with longstanding heroin and cocaine addictions and passed away of a heart attack in a rehab facility in 1995. He was consistently an elusive signer, and with his fairly early death, signed albums are extremely scarce. Offered here is the 1976 live album “Steal Your Face”. Originally recorded in October of 1974, this would be the final album recorded on their original Grateful Dead Records label. Garcia signed his name in blue pen vertically along the left side of the album cover. The album displays some edge wear with a piece of the upper right corner missing. This comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA for Garcia’s signature.
