Grateful Dead Shirt : Vintage Original (Genuine / Authentic) : 1981 :’81 European Fall Tour! : Stanley Mouse Art Design (c) 1981 : Vintage-Original’ Europe’81’ Tour Shirt : 3/4 Sleeve Jersey Shirt! X Large (XL) : Ultra-Rare! – Mouse & Europe Tour! Rock & Roll Treasure!!! Vintage-Original 1981 European Tour! Grateful Dead Tour Shirt… Featuring’81 Designed Stanley Mouse Art!!! – with all Europe Cities – Countries & Tour Dates!!! ” Europe’81 ” Desert Sand Skull & Rose Art!!! And, for that matter too – all-around the Universe!!! As just like the old saying goes… Well, in 1981 – it was indeed ” Europe Tour ” again! For the Grateful Dead… For the 1st time since the Europe’74 Tour, and naturally as well – prior to that… The Legendary Europe’72 Tour!! And, the Band actually delivered both! A Spring & Fall Europe’81 Tour – with this Tour Shirt here being issued for the’81 Europe ” Fall ” Tour!!! So here comes my slightly-controversial statement on this Europe-Tour topic. If you were to have asked Jerry Garcia himself back in the day – ” which Europe Tour ” was Your! Playing the best at?? I would have to venture to image, that Garcia might have just simply said “’81 “. I know – I know… A pretty far-fetched claim right? With consideration of the importance & magnitude of the Europe’72 run & all… But, the really big difference is – that in 1981, and in the Early/Mid-’80’s for that matter — there were times in those Magical! ” Hot-Zones ” where Garcia got so Incredibly-Hot! On the fret board – that you could darn-near him playing heavy metal! ? ! – being right-in the guitar zone, and masterfully channeling the stratospheric forces, that almost only Garcia could. So go and listen to say… The Barcelona Show that closed this Tour — there you go – now do you see what I mean? Train down the track… And too, as for the’design’ on this Shirt — proper-props directly to The Mouse! — with a Skull & Roses Sand & Bones design made specifically the Band’s 1981 European Tour!!! No-doubt about it, as this here my fellow Dead Fans – is indeed one of the Greatest! / Mouse designs in Rock & Roll History… So subtle, pastel, stylish, cool, and yet so-incredibly Heavy! Too at the same time. Close to 45-Years Old! Here these days, and as fashionable & cool as ever… As it proudly & boldly represents all of the Grateful Dead 1981′ Toured’ European Cities, Countries, and Dates… On the ” 1981 European Tour “!!! One of the most-important Dead Tour Shirts of all-time for sure… Representing one of the relatively few-times that the Grateful Dead Toured Overseas… In their unequaled & unmatched Live-Touring Career – of 30-Years!!!
