Grateful Dead Shirt : Vintage Original (Genuine / Authentic) : 1985 : Chinese New Year’85!! -‘ Year Of The Ox!!! : February 19, 1985 (2/19/85) – Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center – Oakland, California (CA) : Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. : With Venue-Specific Kaiser Tour Dates! Grateful Dead 1985 Chinese New Year Year Of The Ox! Shows run at the Henry J. In Oakland, California!!!! Offered here the Vintage Original (Genuine / Authentic) Grateful Dead 1985 Chinese New Year Year of the Ox! Shirt made for the February 18th through 20th run of shows at the Henry J. Kaiser in Oakland, California aka. Home’ of the Deadheads! , with the actual Chinese New Year G. Celebration itself falling on the Tuesday 2/19 show — and in the 2nd Set… Women Are Smarter with Gung Hay Fat Choy Iko Iko! And a ” Dragon Dance ” during Drums — with the Chinese Symphony Orchestra even opening before the Grateful Dead! This was actually the very-first run of Dead Shows at the Kaiser, where it was re-named the Henry J. Kaiser , as prior – as most all of you know, this was the Oakland Auditorium Arena… The place where Dead Fans called home in the Bay Area, before the consistent Oakland Coliseum & Shoreline Amphitheatre days. And as for this Classic of a Tee? Well, for starters – Bobby Weir used to stage-wear this shirt-design, I think I recall it was the ” grey ” Shirt version that he was Rockin’ — at the B. Point being, if one of the Boys in the Band are wearin’ it – then it has to be one of the Grate! Hey, if either Ace – B. Mick – Brent, or Phil are wearing a Dead Tee on Stage – Count Me In!! No offense to Garcia, but he’s a Black T-Shirt guy, right? But during this brief Era… It could also be’ Trouble Ahead! – Jerry’s in Red!! – who saw the bright multi-color pants Garcia worn in Vegas? ! ? 92 or’93 maybe? OK, sorry – got off track there – Ha! So in my personal opinion? This’85 ” Ox ” design is really one of the best ever in a lot of different ways design-wise, The Ox! Because it was the First!!! It was the’ predecessor’ to the ” Year of the Tiger (’86) ” Shirt, the ” Year of the Hare (’87) “, and also the ” Year of the Dragon (’88) “… In other words, it was the Very 1st! Pretty darn-cool piece of info there, right! But hey – above all else… There’s just nothing quite like a G. Chinese New Year Show – any Year! During those usually cold and/or rainy West Coast early-months of the year. I’m still riding high from the last ” Dragon Parade ” I ever saw… At the Year Of The Dog! ” And I’m not kidding at all – some say that was the ” Last Amazing! Run for the Grateful Dead… And though I’d hate to look at things that way – it’s hard to not concur if you caught that run, or heard the music – especially on the ” Chinese New Year ” night. So go ahead and check out all of the photos provided, as this one just shouts-out ” Awesome ” — the 1985 Year Of The Ox!!! Watch-out though, because you know what they say about the ” Bull & The Horns ” – probably applies here with this Ox, because the’85 Grateful Dead were Smokin’-Hot!!! And you messed with Them then, you might as well just get the Horns!!! Enjoy this Piece of G. Rock & Roll History!!!! Tag Size/Brand : Medium (M) / Hanes 100% Cotton / Made in U. As this is a used vintage shirt – here are the issues that stand out to my eye upon very close inspection. >>> some staining/spots (assorted stains throughout) – light brown stains/marks on the bottom front of the shirt (please see photos). >>> some discoloration on the collar and throughout the shirt (please see photos). >>> two (2) tiny pin holes on the right shoulder seam (please see photos).
