Dead Fans !!!  Wow …..  I mean let’s just put it like this – 50, 100, or even 150 years from now … when one looks up ” Grateful Dead Rock & Roll T-Shirt ” in the Futuristic-Dictionary ! — there might has well just be, or might-just-be ! … a photo of This ! 1981 Grateful Dead Shirt design.  That is just how important this one is, to both ! Grateful Dead and Rock & Roll History !!!  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 its Finest !  This is a Vintage-Original 1981 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 Legendary ! 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 ! … which ended up as a magnificent ‘ Live ‘ & Electric ! Grateful Dead album release – known as ” Dead Set ” !!  With, naturally … a base design that beautifully ! features Mr. & Ms. Uncle Sam Skeletons – looking on to both ! the New York City & Marin San Francisco Skylines of the Cities – featuring both the New York City Brooklyn !! & San Francisco Golden Gate Bridges !!!  This Fall ’80 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, takes on this ” Dead Set ” design and it’s starring Characters ( Mr. & Ms. Uncle Sam Skeleton ! ) was 1st used on Posters, Handbills, and etc. in 1980 – and then used on Grateful Dead items such as this amazing black Rock & Roll T-Shirt 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.  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 still really only just getting rolling on Year 15 !  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. Pride, my fellow lover of Rock & Roll !!!!!
