The Grateful Dead at Winterland, 1974

This a diorama I made in 1990. It is cardboard on foam core, painted with acrylics. It is 48 x 33 x 12" deep, in a wood frame/cabinet with plexiglass face. The frame/cabinet has a hinged flap at the top/front for easy removal of the plexi face, for cleaning or replacement, if it gets damaged.

The scene was constructed and painted from a photo taken at a concert in San Francisco's Winterland theater in 1974. I'll try and find a copy of that photo to add below. It took about 4 months to make this, working a few hours each night after the day job. It was a labor of love. the original outer skin was painted foam core, which I replaced with a hardwood laminate this past summer in preparation for letting it leave the nest, after 25 years.

In the full-front view photo at the top you see a light rig at the top/left. There is a matching one at the top/right that was being repaired when the photo was taken. 

It has a brass plaque title plate, centered at the bottom. It mounts flush to a wall with two loop hangers on the back at each side.
