I have a much larger jpeg of the handbill/flyer from the St. Louis area shows: you can easily read all the printed details. Also - I suspect the source is different, because the color is more blue and it was photographed from a different angle against a different background.
Maybe this helps a little.

There are two interesting Dead handbills on ebay right now:

This one is for May 24-25, 1968 St.Louis Armory with the Dead, a group called Public Service, and visuals by Lights For The Blind. Cool thing is that this show isn't currently in DeadLists. It would be good to verify this with a check thru the old newspapers just to be sure.

8.5x12" thin paper flyer. Original from 1967. Sometimes known as RG#39 [but it's a stupid numbering system]. Show was 8/11-12/1967 at Russ Gibb's Grande Ballroom in Detroit. The original dates of August 2nd & 3rd are blocked out, being surprinted with 2 red panels and the new concert dates, along with the Grateful Dead's name, and "Direct from San Francisco Fri & Sat Night"... The show must have been expanded & postponed. Also listed are the local bands: The Rationals, South Bound Freeway, Bishops, Ashmolian Quintet & SBF... The lettering & angel-woman artwork is credited to Donnie Dope [Forsyth].
The 8/11 and 8/12 shows are currently credited to DeadBase, but now there is a poster to site as another source.
Just thought you'd like to know,
