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 !

Pride, my fellow lover of Rock & Roll !!!!!
