1990 Grateful Dead Issue - of the " Without A Net " & "
Europe 1990 " Griffin Art Designs !!!!!
G.D. Fans ..... check-out Awesome ! Grateful Dead-meets-Rick
Griffin Art ! G.D. Shirt !! ... made originally for the Europe '90 Tour ! -
then for the Grateful Dead in the U.S. to promote ' Without A Net ' !!!
Dead Fans !?!! ... I mean it just doesn't get any better than Griff, does it
? For me personally ? Well, I don't think so. This is just a
Classic ... & now Quintessential Beauty ! of a G.D. Shirt from over 35-Years Ago ! Rick Griffin Art, truly at his Finest ! ... and also,
arguably one of his last - or quite close to last final Legendary !! works --
and so very fittingly, this one's for The Grateful Dead !!! This Shirt
design was sold on the 1990 European Tour - ( with the Tour Dates listed on the
back ) - then, when Band returned Home to the U.S. in November of 1990 ... this
Shirt was Tour-Sold to promote not only the Grateful Dead Live ! - but also,
the Monumental ' Live ' release ... known as " Without A Net !!! ". Dedicated, of course ... to Clifton Hanger ! Much better known
as Brent Mydland !!! I believe that I 1st saw this Shirt at the Spring
Tour '91 Cap Centre Shows ! ... a Sweet ! 4-run of Show by the Band, so ... my
assumption is - that this one was probably also sold at the Oakland New Years
Eve run out west, and likely prior too - on the early Winter Tour '90 !
And Wow ... just thinking back, as this was pretty much ' The ! ' G.D. Shirt to
have at the time, as it was really some seriously different Rick Griffin Art
that was featured on a Shirt ! There had been a little gap for a while,
with the Griffin Art on new Dead Tees, and when this Beauty ! hit the scene, it
was like ... Right-On & Welcome Home !!! This was such a transitional
time, with Brent's passing - so ... almost everything seemed just a little
bittersweet. And, not to paint a dreary picture, but - it actually kinda
got worse ... fast, with both Rick Griffin & Bill Graham passing shortly
thereafter. So, at least to me ... this is the period of time that this
represents - and represents Vividly !!! This is a popular one, which has
been no doubt - reprinted over the years, but ... here with this one - just
check out that vintage old school ' Cronies ' tag ! The real deal indeed
... This is one that no Dead Fan should live without, as this Griffin
G.D. Design Image has indeed! stood the test of time, and is just as cool as it
was back in 1990-91 ! Plus, when you think about it - ' Without A Net '
itself was all 1989 & 1990 Grateful Dead Live ! ... and that was the Hot-Stuff
!!! The '89 Summer Tour, Spring '90 ... dang ! Just some
Power-Packed ! Good Ol' Grateful Dead in the ' newest ' of forms - during the
Stout ! ' Built To Last ' Era !!! This one is a G.D. T-Shirt Treasure !
to say the very-least ... and, how can't it be - when Rick Griffin is steering
both the brush & the pen ! This is a Circus-Scene - that is
Definitely ! Without A Net !!!!!!! Truly-amazing ... Enjoy !!!
