THE GRATEFUL DEAD FEAR AND LOATHING ON TOUR '87 T-SHIRT TYE DYE SKELETON & BEAR

Description

This is a SCARCE & RARE vintage concert tour t-shirt from The Grateful Dead Fear and Loathing On Tour '87 series of shows. See the pics for further details. This shirt is 30 years old as of this writing & has been worn numerous times. And it has withstood the test of time. NO holes, rips, etc., anywhere on the shirt. The artwork is still sharp & clear. The skeleton couple are roaring down the road thru the desert with numerous stickers on the car. Some read for example: Red Rocks or bust, Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll, Women Are Smarter, Dead on the Beach, etc. On the back of the shirt is a large blue Dancing Bear. The kaleidoscope of colors front & back are light show tripping on a shirt. An amazing & rare piece of artwork for The Grateful Dead. The shirt is thinned a bit over the years from washing, wearing & enjoying. It's a 50/50 blend of cotton & polyester, made in the U.S.A. by tedman. Out of my storage/collection & into your life. The shirt measures appx.: 19" armpit to armpit, 16" shoulder to shoulder & 26" front of neck to waist. The tag says L but I'm sure it shrunk a bit after all these years.

t
quite like him !  Well, and if you toured in '82, the '80's or maybe ? even the '90's, then you will be well aware that this fanta
stic " Uncle Sam Smokin' Skeleton Winged-Skull ! " desi
gn was definitely " The "
Official GDP Tour Shirt to have
, from this A
mazing ! year for the Grateful Dead.  I myself
alw
ays think of t
wo main things when it comes to '82
Live Dead -- firstly, Garcia's tone & fret board attack !  As this was a totally transitional period, that really started in '81 where Jerry got
both quicker ! & heavier !!  I showed one of m
y Rock & Roll Buddies the
3/28/81 Video ! not too long ago
( with
The Who ! ), and my Buddy's comment was a True-Classic ! on that fine day ... and I'll never-ever forget it ... " Wow Man, Jerry's almost playing-Metal ?!? "  You-Betcha ! he was
!!!  Totally-true in so many ways, as during
certain
ja
m-p
oints &
ascensions
- this was a "
collective
" beefed-up Grateful Dead live - with some serious-attack ! & pure-muscle !!  And Secondly ...
these were the early-days of the true emergence of
the
'80's-esque Bobby Weir that many Dead Fans love & li
ve
for
!  Much vocal improv
, that some Fans cherished, and other Fans, well ... you know - Hah !
I mean let's just p
ut it
this
-way, as I mean how-else - would you even put it ?!  It's 1982 - like what
? over 35-
years ago ? ...
the time is Right ! for the
Grateful Dead '82 Fall Tour --- and not only are you cat
ch
ing it in Florida ! ... but you're even doing it at West Palm Beach !!!  Dang ... I mean where is that " Time-Machine " !?!?!  And too ... being that This-Show ! on 9/11/82 was also even on Mickey Hart's 39th Birthday ?! ... I mean there was High-Energy ! E
verywhere !!  Minglewood had it ... Uncle > Big River ! had
it ... C.C. Rider had it ...
Dupree's - Loser & Let It Grow !
had-it - and w
e're not even into " Set II " in this con
versation
!?!  Because This ! my friends was a Pure
! G.D.
Rock & Roll Grind-out !!!  Jerry
's chops were just So !!! Incredibly !! Hot !
in '82, and this set is such a fine example ... so yeah, here it is ... & you tell me ?? >>> Scarlet > Fire - Sailor > Saint - Terrapin ! - Drums/Space > Truckin' ! > Stella Blue > Around > and yep, you bet ... One More Saturday Night !!!  Because yeah, as I forget to add earlier - with all of the other laundry-list of " Pluses " about This-Show ! ... it also was on a Saturday Night !  I mean talk-about Feelin' ... Alright !!  Hah !!!  Baby Blue for the Encore, and this one was indeed in the books ... as a Huge ! '82 Fall Tour G.D. Show !  And too ... the " Backstage Pass " for this Show was even on one of the way-rare " Yellow " Bordered ! Passes.  I mean check out the photos, and yes - I know ... it's pretty much hard ' not ' to fall immediately in-Love ! with this Pass.  What a Design ! ... & all the Credit in the World ! ... to " Griff " !!!  A Completely-Classic ! -
