I found a bunch of old music concert rock posters at a thrift store; I don't know who a couple of them are; there are no identifying marks of printer or maker; they are vintage for sure, any help would be great the Grateful Dead one is small the others are bigger; thanks in advance, Mary

Rolling Stones with Mick Jagger in black leather outfits. Aerosmith after that. The two black & white look like they might be from Woodstock 1969. Last one with guitar is Willie Nelson.

Don't "concert" posters usually have the date on them?

The only one that is a concert poster is the top one: Grateful Dead and Chuck Berry, Carousel Ballroom (San Francisco, CA), 1968. You give no measurrements, and I don't know what "small" is to you, but I'd guess it's one of the countless reproductions of this famous poster. Repros are made in many different sizes. You'll have to research it.
The next item is a photo of the great blues guitarist B.B. King.
Rita identified all the rest.

I know there are photo difficulties on the boards, but I am searching in vain for the Rolling Stones among this lot.
I have no idea. I recognized the poster because it was one for Chuck Berry in concert. I recongized B.B. King. None of the rest do I know, so I went with Rita's identifications. You two can sort it out from here. 😊

Aha, yes: "Patti Smith on stage at The Schaefer Music Festival in Central Park, NYC. July 9, 1976" © Bob Gruen, 1976.

And (thanks entirely to Google Images and Rita's Woodstock suggestion), this is the back of John Sebastian performing, indeed, at Woodstock in 1969:

Oh sorry, I thought at first glance the guy second from right was Jagger.

Thank you for that. As a child of the 60s I was feeling quite embarrassed.
