As this one is light-Years ! beyond your average & plain CBGB shirt, right ??! Ha ! Classic ... But seriously, just take one look at the back of this near 30-Year Old treasure, and I think you'll agree. Check out that mid-'80's " Grateful Dead " font too? Looks very " Greek Theatre " style, well ... at least to my eyes & mind ! Heck, this Shirt looks like a tactical Tour-itinerary ! Dang, and it never seemed quite this organized ? Well, speaking for myself - that is ... with my Tour Crew ! & Ship of Fools !! Ahhh, the Good Ol' ' Daze ' ... But, as for the front of this Shirt .. .. .. Wham !!!

An Awesome !!! Slate-Grey color ! This one only gets better & better. Kinda like this '86 Spring Tour too - believe it. Moments of G.D. Magic all over this Tour, and - this is the Pre-'87 Era too, if - you know what I mean, and where I'm coming from on that. Right ... exactly. Well, my personal moment of magic on this Tour - it's an easy one. And hopefully, you too were there, or are at least in the know. 3/24/86 ... the 2nd Night, of the 3-Night Spectrum run. Set I is nice, and you can just tell they are on it - and things might just get hot You know, one of " Those " nights... Alabama > Greatest opener - Dire Wolf > Rooster, Brown Eyed Women - Esau ! - Ramble On Rose - El Paso ... with a Box ! set-closer. Nice & even among the Band, but - it does feel kinda light Bobby is hungry ! And then ....... Set II !!! Garcia calls for 1/2 Step Mississippi > Bobby drives in into Women Are Smarter ! Garcia drops down a High Time, and then ... Ace calls for the ' Bob Weir Show ', on a straight-up Power-house Sailor > Saint !!! This drives steadily into Drums ... and then - " It " happened. Garcia finds the sweetest of sweet treble lines, after the calming of a ravaging Drums > Space ! ... and it's on >>> The Dew !!!!! And Fans, this Morning Dew is an explosion of Brilliance, Passion & Fire !!! Completely-unbelievable. HUGE-Garcia !!!!!!! And, I know it's probably hard to believe, but this Dew was so unbelievably Hot ! - that the Band ? ... they just " Walked " !!!?!!! I kid you not. it was like a Walk-Off Home-Run ! They must have just looked at each other, and realistically figured - well, who can top that ?!?? Not even us, and we're The Grateful Dead ! Then, to ' continue ' to write Mid-'80's Rock & Roll History on this Spectrum night, they come back for an Encore, and Ace just DESTROYS !!! a Red-Hot ! Midnight Hour !!!!! " Gonna Wait, Wait - Wait-Wait... Till' The Midnight Hour " !!!!!!! Some of the hottest-stuff-ever, by the Best-Band-Ever ! Well Fans, so - here's the Shirt ! Enjoy this one, and wear it with a little-bit of that Mid-'80's G.D. & U.S.A. Pride !!!!!!!!!!!!! So Incredibly-Awesome . . .
