Produced by William Troper in 1985, the map uses differing sizes of the Grateful Dead red and blue lightning skull or, "Steal Your Face", logo [1] to indicate the range of the number of concerts held at cities throughout the continental US, Alaska, and Hawaii. Concert frequency data is credited within to the Hampshire College Grateful Dead Historical Society.
