Venue-Specific’ 1982 Grateful Dead Tour Shirt! For the Fall Tour’82 1-Show stop in New Mexico!! – at the Downs of Santa Fe!! Native American style meets the Southwestern fashion here with this Grateful Dead Rock & Roll Vintage-Beauty! ” Downs of Santa Fe ” Venue-Specific! Grateful Dead Tour Shirt!! For the’82 Fall Tour New Mexico Show! I mean does this Shirt just exude ” Rock & Roll “, or what? Well, it sure does exude 1982 Grateful Dead… Early-’80’s Dead – in the Early-’80’s ” Sportswear Brand ” Shirt Style!! As the famous Good Ol’ saying fits in quite-well here….. As they just don’t make’em’quite’ like this anymore… A wild, cool & classic Early-’80’s Rockin’-Bright-Purple! Color — a jaw-droppingly-Artistic! Native American style Southwestern G. Lightning Blot design by Dicken Scully — and some Out of This Universe… ” Font ” – that puts you right-back in your 1982-esque easy chair… Playing a little Atari! – and Rockin’ some G. Direct from your Nak LX-3!!! Or, maybe even your Nak LX-5? !! I think we were-indeed still pre-Dragon! Still here in’82. Speaking of Atari font, I even saw a special on the T. Not too long ago – which talked about how all of the old unopened Atari Games were buried-alive (in their boxes) – somewhere down South, maybe in Cali or AZ? I can’t quite remember which… But this I do remember – they claimed that E. Was the worst Atari Game ever… And I’m not sure I really agree? ! ? Well, either way the killer’82 Video Game Font! On this Vintage-Beauty got me a little bit sidetracked here indeed… But, take a look at these photos, and I’m sure you can side with me… Heck, even the Oregon Ducks went with some ” Atari-like ” Video Game font on their Jersey #’s way back in like 2005. Trying to get me one of those… But, let’s face it – there was nothing ” Retro ” at all when this font was used on this Shirt design in the Fall of 1982… As that was all-about a true sign of the times, and the current-cool fashion style!!! Dang, I mean bright back the’80’s! So, my overall point being… Do you agree with me? Is-this one of the Hottest! Vintage-Original Grateful Dead Tour Shirts of All-Time? !!! My fellow Dead Fans – as this one is just Pure! Rock & Roll from head-to-toe!!! Enjoy this Grateful Dead ” Southwestern ” Rock & Roll Treasure!!!!

Encore : Don’t East Me In. Tag Size / Brand : Medium 38-40 (M) / Sportswear 100% Cotton / Made In U. As this is a brand new (never worn/never washed & “Collected” only) vintage-original collectible shirt – here are the issues that stand out to my eye upon very close inspection. >>> one (1) dark-brownish stain approx. 1/2 on the shirt material fabric, located on the back bottom right side of the shirt (please see photos/close-up photo #10). >>> white threads piece from the manufacturing process showing through the outside left shoulder, which can easily be carefully-cut/removed if so desired (please see photos). >>> very-slight cracking of the design emblem images, and very-light signs of natural aging on the shirt material fabric from long-term storage – over 40-years (please see photos). Notes : Regarding the’ white-threads piece’… This is actually a great-sign to the serious vintage Collector – as the presence of external threads like these from the vintage Early-’80’s Shirt manufacturing process – still hanging-out as it is, in the place in which it is hanging out (‘ outside’ the shoulder) — just goes to show that this Shirt is still brand new, and has never been worn. Personally, I never-ever remove these from the vintage Shirts in my Collection – as finding these is actually an exciting sign of extra-rarity to me. Please see all photos provided…
