Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat Psychedelic t-shirt Grateful Dead Vintage Marijuana XL

Description

I bought this classic shirt, I believe, in the parking lot of a Grateful Dead concert in the spring of 1987 in Hampton, Virginia.
Features the Cat in the Hat smoking a reefer against  a psychedelic background.
The tag has been removed. It is probably a Hanes Beefy T, XL.
The shirt has been sitting a box for about 30 years. It is in remarkable good condition with perhaps a small amount of discoloration.
back of neck to bottom back = 28"
shoulder seam to shoulder seam = 22"
comes from a house with dogs and an occasional smoker.
will ship USPS Priority to lower 48.

( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!
Grateful Dead ! ... 1982 Spring Tour !! ... & " Dead Set ! " Art Fans !!!  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the April 9th, 1982 ( 4/9/82 ) Show at the Rochester War Memorial ! in Rochester, New York ( NY ) !!  Incredible ! Art Design & Colors! on this Rochester Spring '82 Pass ... Red & White on the image itself - and Blue on both the border - and on " Grateful Dead " !!!  As with any G.D. Pass - the Beauty ! is always in the eye of the beholder - obviously ... but, this one just looks Awesome!  with these Red, White & Blue contrasts ... both U.S.A. ! & Grateful Dead !! Style !!!  The Passes from this Spring '82 Era all ' varied ' in the use & combination of colors ... but, at least in my personal opinion - this one here is at the Top !  Bold & Bright - to say the very least.  And  Musically ! ... just like in '77 ! - The Grateful Dead did more-than leave their mark on the Good Ol' Rochester War Memorial !!!  Quite frankly ... they were Bringing-It !!!  And, at least in my opinion - this Spring '82 Tour is one of the more ' underrated ' Dead Tours of All-Time ! - as my ears most-certainly have many " Moments of Magic ! " on this run.  And this night at Rochester - no exception at all ... as it's right in this conversation.  With an Alabama > Greatest opener, they were just Hot ! right out of the starting gate !  The back to back C.C. Rider - followed by Bird Song - take you straight from the Blues ! - to the Moon !!  Jerry plays the wide-open parts hard ! on this one - Nice !!  After tight versions of both All Over Now & Loser - a pounding & jammy ! Minglewood ensues - with Huge ! slide-guitar trades ... Tasty !  And then ?? ... it's China > Rider !!! time to close the 1st Set !!  Dang ... Hot !  The treat in Set II is undoubtedly a beautiful-version of  ' To Lay Me Down ' - where Garcia indeed digs deep ... and the ' middle ' of this Show just lines up perfectly !  Tempo, pace, blend, transitions, etc. - you name it ! >>> Sailor > Saint > Drums > Other One > Stella Blue > GDTRFB ! ... and to Close up this hard night of work for the band - hard work that came Easy ! >>> Satisfaction !!!  Brokedown Encore - and then the Deadhead Faithful are flowing out of this old building ... just about floating on air !!  And, of course ... though I'm probably re-stating the very-obvious - this indeed is the quintessential G.D. " Dead Set " '80 Art based design - delivered so-awesomely by Dennis Larkins & Peter Barsotti in 1980 - used in one form or another on Posters, etc. for the Dead Set Cover - Warfield Poster - Radio City Music Hall Poster - Handbills - Tour Shirts - you name it.  And, as the photos well show - it's that Cool !  And, Especially ! in Red, White & Blue !!!  Uncle Sam relaxing with his thoughts - looking on the Golden Gate Bridge ! - while Ms. Uncle Sam is doing the same thing, but her view ... New York City ! and the Hudson !  A " Quintessential ! " G.D. Pass here - to say the very-least - and one -- for Rochester !!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
