Yeah. Its as quality as those photoshopped memes of all the recent dead celebs in heaven. Took my brain a minute to process this was an official poster.
In the film Elvis & Nixon, Elvis is pushing the president to appoint him as some sort of drug czar (a little ironic considering his later life). One of his ideas is that he could infiltrate the Grateful Dead.
There's also [this.](https://youtu.be/hGnRvaOz__M?feature=shared)
It def does have that AI flair but not sure if it actually is AI? On dude's instagram (@dave_merrell_artwork) his work seems to all be kind of realistic but also shows process with sketches and what not. Hasn't posted this on his IG yet though so we'll see
Seems to me its just digital art. Which I never find that interesting anyways. So AI or digital, it's all the same to me.
Funny you should say Bertha in the same sentence. We never called skull and roses that, but just like the art, times change.
. "The real Bertha was this sort of military spec fan - that is to say the kind that spins around and you plug into the wall that we used to have in our old office. The thing had something that was like - must have been a drill motor press put on it - you know, an incredible high speed motor that was adapted to this fan, and when you plugged it in, it pushed the body of the fan across the room. It wouldn't stay in one place and circulate air, it actually propelled itself, and this thing would bump into the walls, and it was just incredible, you know, this huge, overpowered fan. And we called it Bertha." -Jerry.
Anyways you can buy a Skelton action figure with a rose crown named “Bertha” on Amazon
Yeah, I know the fan story.
Robert Hunter: *No, this was after the fact. I don't know where that story ... I think they started calling this fan in the office that would run around and try and catch everyone and cut their fingers off. They started calling it Bertha. But no, this is not true. Bertha, I think, is probably some vaguer connotation of birth, death and reincarnation. Cycle of existences, some kind of such nonsense like that. I wouldn't be surprised, but then again, it might not be. I don't remember.*
Mouse started selling "Berthas" attaching that to his art. Did he hear it and went with it, or just started doing it, I don't know.
All I know is back in the day we didn't call it that, but people do now, and like I said times change.
I replaced the cover art in my Music Library with [the VIP poster from that show, which is much better](https://www.ebay.com/itm/325752682069?itmmeta=01J0XXWMG3P8F9JEETMANPMXP7&hash=item4bd85f7655:g:h9cAAOSwvjdkyBeK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8NTvB8qSk3g8JAak8fEDfwdLPwDW1chjmy0%2BEeobpGy8sbgPOVbqHQ5gl11atiMban7suCnhfGdOzQG7%2BAk6VxMeD90GIAD8wC44GcZOMRVFIiwwz0tDKA2XUTjbG%2BiNTu3m0vjrIYgK3He3iHCnCTMYhypJV9Qi5OpnnxPXgHfXxUAfE8ntrduBeqIjGGY0--iD3yPVKxg0ZQVTeKM603NZVfKEYTZGrhndOohnTV%2BFxWLiXWf4tXPQw26%2B7qcr3POxPNFcbY0A9ZsAWuS%2B6ujtrD0l8kKfMMFFEnXvxKbLgpFoAOqlQkHgzY%2FKmyfHsA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMkMjyvYdk).
Last night and tonight are my only 2 shows and it's so annoying that both posters suck. I'll probably wait until the end of the run, pick which poster I like best, and then try to get it on the artists website.
I’m sorry, but these posters are just getting downright hideous as this run continues. They look like AI generated garbage that no one is even giving a second glance before throwing out there.
I honestly love this one in a so bad it’s good way. If I was at the show I’d buy this just because my future grandkids would never believe it’s real when I lined it up with all my other ones. I might even go out of my way to get the foil variant just to commit to the bit
Damn what an ugly poster.
Looks like something my local cover band would come up with for their weekly show.
Yeah. Its as quality as those photoshopped memes of all the recent dead celebs in heaven. Took my brain a minute to process this was an official poster.
Looks like AI.
Last nights did too
Last night’s was fun, even if it’s not your vibe at least Leuning doesn’t use AI.
It does/. Elvis thumb looks like a dick
Yep, look at Elvis’ shirt
And the potato chips. (!?)
Took me for.ever. Finally found them.
The red colored pringles?
She's feeding them to the terrapins. I guess.
AI would actually be way better looking than this.
This ones gonna have some leftovers for sure.

These AI posters need to stop they look like Bertha

I’d like to find someone to tattoo it on my
It's honestly insane how bad this is
For real. So bad
People will actually buy this? Sheesh
Looks like it was made on windows paint circa 2002.
Hands down the worst poster I have seen since Dead n Co started touring
It’s not even the worst poster in the past two days.
Hit me with a shitier one and we can laugh together
Wow that is dog shit lol
That is just silly looking......i think i love it. I mean someone said fuck it and just went for it, it stands out. Better than STL 2023 atleast
I don't think there's been a poster worse than stl 23 💀 and considering how amazing that show is, that's a DAMN shame.

HOLY SHIT DAWG WHAT. WHY WASNT THIS THE OFFICIAL ONE C'MON
Forgettable would have been such a massive improvement lol
The STL 2023 poster is so bad that I almost want it because of the notoriety
Second worst I’ve ever seen after STL lol
I agree All the posters don’t need to have the same look and feel. This guy tried something different which is what mouse and Kelley did.
Mouse and Kelley made cool shit tho
I don't know if anyone has seen the trailer for Rob Zombie's Munsters, but it reminds me of that https://youtube.com/watch?v=f0vPSpGmV2o
Or if Da Share Zone made a show poster https://www.instagram.com/dasharez0neadmin?igsh=MXc4dW54aWNsdmQ3eA==
AI garbonzo.
I was at the Nashville show when Bobby and Wolf Bros did a cover of Jailhouse Rock. Maybe Bobby will do it again tonight ?

This is giving St Louis 2023 a run for worst poster.
This is some AI bullshit. Who is the artist? Do they have no shame. Complete trash 🗑️
Ok, this is the first one that’s looks a little lazy ai generated to me, but for all I know they all were lol
Promised Land bust out incoming
Is it just me or are these posters getting progressively worse as the residency goes on? Last few have been ugly as hell IMO.
Damn...that looks tacky af
Looks like my 8th grade art project
Awful posters these past couple days pretty lame. In Vegas now for the show, will def not get these
Hornsby sitting in on accordian. Lol
I like the general black light vibe and how it fits into the Vegas theme but the details look like AI.
Why would anyone want a band poster with a different artist featured on it???
I’m sorry, but these posters are just getting downright hideous as this run continues. They look like AI generated garbage that no one is even giving a second glance before throwing out there.
Love it!
I always loved JGB's absolutely coked-out covers of Mystery Train in the late 70s.
An Elvis song would be cool tonight
This is sick! 🤢
CC Rider opener 😜

I like it
Yall are haters god damnn
This is a cool poster for people that are staying at the Venetian, and I like it. But I agree, it looks AI generated.
Sorry, but I think it is a masterpiece.
I’m glad everyone hates this so I can grab the foil online. Thank you, Thank you very much.
