Grateful Dead Shirt : Vintage 1983 : Dead Set & \'Golden\' Grateful Dead ! : 1981 G.D.P. / D.L / P.B. : Dennis Larkins / Peter Barsotti & Alton Kelley Art ! : Ultra-Rare \'83 Issue !!!
One of the Most Quintessential Grateful Dead Images! - and Shirts!! of All-Time!!! ... Ultra-Rare 1983 GDP Issue - with Alton Kelley \'Golden\' Grateful Dead Logo !!!!!Offered here is one of the Most-Incredible, Rarest & simply Awesome! Grateful Dead Shirts of All-Time. This one just has it all, and all it needs - not a thing needs to be \'added\', and at the same time too... nothing can be taken away -- Rock & Roll T-Shirt design perfection... at it\'s Finest! This is a Vintage-Original 1983 Issued Grateful Dead Shirt that features the nothing short of Legendary! \"Dead Set\" Artwork design on the front of this Shirt... designed by Dennis Larkins, and Peter Barsotti in 1980! For, of course ( if you know well-know both your Historic Dead Shows & Posters too...) the Fall 1980 long-standing runs by the Grateful Dead at both! the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, California! - and, at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City!... hence, a design that beautifully! features Mr. & Ms. Uncle Sam Skeletons - looking on to both! the New York City & San Francisco Bridges & Skylines!!! This run naturally, was the brainchild of the one & only Bill Graham - as he wanted to certainly do something extra special on his own during 1980 to appropriately celebrate 15-Years of Good Ol\' Grateful Dead!!! And, perfection... it most-certainly was indeed. So, this design was 1st used on Posters, Handbills, and etc. in 1980 - and then this design itself was also used on Grateful Dead T-Shirts in 1981, with the copyright as follows ( (c) 1981 G.D.P./D.L/P.B. ) - thus crediting Grateful Dead Productions, in addition to both Peter Barsotti & Dennis Larkins. So, this indeed is the copyright on the front side of this particular Shirt (1981). However, what makes this Vintage Shirt even more special... and, especially to all of the enthusiasts of Alton Kelley\'s Artwork... is that this \'particular\' Shirt version is indeed the rare 1983 Issue... which, also includes the Magnificent! & eye-catching Kelley-designed \'Golden\' (& Shiney!) Grateful Dead 1983 Logo on the backside!!! There is no copyright printed on this back side, but... 1981 does appear on the front. How awesome!?! And, to think that this Shirt could even get any Better!?! The \'81 version 1st appears with a Rick Griffin G.D. Skull & Crossbones on the backside... which too... is Stellar! But, one look at the photos and you can really see just how Vibrant! this Golden G.D. logo really is... and, especially off of the Rock & Roll Black T-Shirt! color contrast. In so many ways... this Shirt here is Truly! one of the Absolute Best! - and, Most-Quintessential Grateful Dead Shirts - in All! of Grateful Dead History... a 30-Year! duration in the long-run indeed, but - when this Shirt was issued... they were only just getting going on Year 18! Lots of Amazing! Live-Dead left to go, for certain... A true Vintage-Classic! & indeed - without any question at all... a Rock & Roll Beauty!!! Enjoy this one with some serious G.D.
