grateful dead dancing bears t shirt classic

Steal Your Face - The album cover art from Steal Your Face is everywhere, it is the most-used icon in deadhead history. You will find a concentration of them here. And, if you really have to, you can listen to the unfortunate Cold Rain and Snow courtesy of : 1970-05/02 Harpur State (but don't say you weren't warned).Ĭlassic Dead Shirts - These shirts feature a treasure trove of classic Grateful Dead artwork around, particularly variations on the skull and roses (aka Bertha) design pictured and classic album art.ĭancing Bears - Ever so cute and lovable, dancing bears are spread thoughout our dozen or so categories. If you don't already own Dick's Pick 8, it is well worth the investment. Even the banter from this excellent concert is memorable (e.g., Phil's immortal words after Dancing In The Streets).

But, there are plenty of personal favorites to suit any Deadhead's palate (well, except for the Cold Rain aficionado). My personal favorite is Viola Lee Blues not even the Phil Zone version tops this one. However, the rub of the show is the electric material. With Workingman's Dead to be released imminently, it is no surprise that this seminal album was showcased in a strong acoustic set. Thankfully, he had the discretion to leave off the excruciatingly painful Cold Rain and Snow (tuning is better done before the song, rather than during). While Dick was always eager to showcase a rare gem (preferably uncirculated, such as Columbus, 1970), he would still honor time-tested classic shows with an official release of exceptional quality. I was thrilled when this show was selected as the 8th Dick's Pick.

There was plenty of energy available on campus and, while much of it was negative, the Grateful Dead channeled it constructively into a wonderful concert. Only five months had elapsed since the Dead refused to play at Altamont due to the ongoing violence at that infamous festival, and the events at Kent State were heading inexorably towards their own horrible climax (the ROTC building was torched at the same time this concert was held some 500 miles away).
