Grateful Dead Shirt : 1990 : ” American Beauty ” – 20th Anniversary! – Grateful Dead 25th (XXV) Anniversary!! Black : X Large (XL) : Very-Rare! 1990 GDM Issued’Black’ Tee – Commemorating the ” 25th Anniversary of the Grateful Dead “!!! The ” 20th Anniversary ” of’ American Beauty’!!!!! Is a Grateful Dead Rock & Roll Shirt – the Amazing! 90 GDM Issued Grateful Dead XXV… 25th Anniversary Shirt – which also highlights the rightful-respect of their Magnificent! & Beyond-Classic 1970 Studio Album Masterpiece! One of the Finest! & most widely-recognizable Grateful Dead Albums of all-time… Which dug nicely in to both the Electric & Acoustic depths of Grateful Dead Music. One of the Best! Grateful Dead Album Covers of all-time, designed by the Mouse-Kelley Studios – featuring an amazingly-artistic’Ambigram’ wording on the image… Either “American Beauty” or — “American Reality” – depending naturally, on how you choose to see it. With of course, a Red Rose… Which on this Shirt – is really taken to the next-level, with the black background to highlight this image. There were actually a’Series’ of these Grateful Dead Steal Your Face! XXV Shirts made for the 1990 Touring-Year, which featured the exact-same back side design on all, with a variety of different images on the front side. Shirts were issued in’Black’ only, and this-one pretty much rose to the top in popularity above all the rest. With, naturally – the “Wall Of Sound” design image probably being a near equal favorite to the Dead Fan Faithful. Though, what is really just so-neat about this “American Beauty” design – is that is just meant so-much at the time, as the Band was headed like a’Live’ Train-running-down-the-Track! At the back end of the Massive! And while all of the different “XXV” versions commemorated the 25th Anniversary of the Grateful Dead – this one also recognized “American Beauty” in its 20th-Year! Of existence & influence to the Music World. Is always in the eye of the beholder, but in a lot of ways… You could easily argue that this is one of the neatest & most-meaningful Grateful Dead Shirts of the then’modern’ 1990’s Grateful Dead Era – which obviously now… Is a couple additional decades behind us. A serious-piece of Grateful Dead and Rock & Roll History here for certain… > > > Tag Size / Brand : Extra Large / X-Large (XL) / Oneita Power T (Pre-Shrunk 100% Cotton) Pit-to-Pit = 24″ Length = 28″ As this is a lightly used vintage collectible shirt – here are the only issues that stand out to my eye upon very close inspection : >>> one undone inside front bottom seam – approximately 2 long (please see photos/close-up photo #11). >>> light cracking of design emblem images (please see photos). >>> very light fading of shirt material fabric (please see photos). >>> slightly off centered front design emblem image – slightly towards left side when wearing (please see photos).
