( 1993 GDM, Inc. ) : X Large ( XL ) : Very-Rare !!!Completely-Awesome ! ... ' Sweet-Sweet Summertime !! ' ... '93 G.D. Tour Tee !!! - The " River Diving Swimming Skeleton !!! " Official ! GDM '93 Tour-Issued Shirt made for & sold on - the 1993 Grateful Dead Summer Tour !!!!!!!
" Sweet-Sweet Summer-time ... All-All All-The-Time ! " ... just like Bobby Weir once said during Lovelight ( Greek '86 ! ). Well Dead Fans, here indeed is The ! River-Diving " Swimming Skeleton " !!! ( Official GDM ) Grateful Dead Shirt made for the 1993 Summer Tour !!! So ..... hard - to believe it is now over 20-Years Ago !!?!! .... but, totally true - Wow ! And to me at least, the fantastic graphics on this one just say " Summertime " all over it. After all, there is nothing quite-like sporting some Lightning-Bolt Board shorts, turning your Cap backwards, grabbing your Beverage of choice !, showing some " Bones " ... and just Diving Right In - Head First ! And to boot, you can even lose your Wallet, Keys & Change too ! ... during all of this excitement. Hey, even if the sign-posted does say " No Swimmin' ! " ... HA !!! Our fellow Deadhead Skeleton-friend has some mighty-nice diving form here too, wouldn't you say ? Look out Team U.S.A., hey ? One of the coolest, uniquest, rarest & even ' Gooniest ' Dead Shirts I ever saw during my touring days - agreed ?? And even made ' Officially ' by GDM !! Classic ... Well, on to more serious Dead-chat ... this was indeed one-fine Tour in '93, in my opinion. I caught the 2 RFK shows, and was impressed with how truly-hearty the Boys looked - and how much they still had to give at the end of this quite-long ' 1st half ' of the heavily-toured 1993. I'll never forget the bouncy Aiko, nor the solid China > Rider from these D.C. Shows. I also saw Shoreline & Expo prior, and was almost-certain those shows would be hard to top ( obviously ... ) - but I was pleasantly surprised indeed ! '93 Expo, still obviously being Late-Legendary Live Grateful Dead ! - for all of the various reasons you can hear on the tapes ! Wowie ... The Band's Triumphant-Return ! to the one & only Mighty Autzen Stadium ! were the next Shows for me, and as we all know - Whoa ! - did those shows ever speak for themselves. Just Killer !! Live-Dead. Though I may be in the minority, I personally feel that '93 was possibly the very best Grateful Dead overall ... after Brent's untimely passing after Summer Tour '90. They got back to the basics ( i.e. one Keyboard-Player ), like the Grateful Dead should be. I liked Vince myself, and felt he definitely had both the chops & energy to carry the weight, and the load. Also, this was a little period of Jerry-resurgence, where he appeared really-happy, quite-healthy & clearly appeared to be taking nice care of himself. This, I first noticed at the '93 Mardi Gras run in Oakland in February - pretty exciting ! ... with Ornette too !! So very sweet to see ... So yep, here is " The " '93 Summer G.D. Shirt - the Sweet Summertime ... River-Diving Swimming Skeleton GDM Tour Tee !! Definitely one of the very coolest-designed G.D. Shirts on the '93 East Coast Summer Tour ! An Excellent G.D. Shirt -- but remember ... No Swimmin' !!! A Total ! " Early-'90's " G.D. Classic ! ... as they just don't make them quit-like ' This ! ' anymore. Enjoy !!! & Best of Luck too with your Diving ! - to find those Keys !! ... Ha !!! Grateful Dead Summer Tour '93 !!!!!
