With all of the Spring Tour '85 Cities & States on the back-side - with Stars, Stripes & a Steal Your Face ! image !! With even " Grateful Dead " printed inside the U.S.A. map with 1984 Tour Laminate-esque Font ! Just think ... " Greek !! " And, as for the front of this Shirt ?? Wow ... I mean Holy Grateful Dead !! - and Holy " Bear " ?!! While the Early-'70's Bob Thomas / Owsley " Bear " Stanley designed " Steal Your Face ! " is one of the most-commonly recognized ( & understood ! ) symbols in all of Rock & Roll History ... the Augustus Owsley " Bear " Stanley Belt Buckle is not nearly as well know to all - in the ' general public ' that is - because if you are on the ' inside ' of the Grateful Dead World - or, anywhere close ... you well-know your Owsley Buckles, and the vital importance surrounding them - as Bear was so critical to the evolution of the Grateful Dead Live " Sound ", and for countless ' other ' things too ... which are yes, quite Good Ol' Grateful Dead ! Ha ! But, just the fact that in '85 ... Grateful Dead Productions decided to show Bear some serious Love ! - in the form of honoring his Steal Your Face ! Belt Buckle design ??! Wow ... I mean - I don't even know what to say ... just so over the top, so awesome, and so " 1985 " - which is-obviously a " Cult " Live-Dead ' Year ' to so-many of the Dead Fan Faithful, for lack of any better way to say it. So, hmmm ... I guess we could just go ahead and say it like this -- " Trouble Ahead - Jerry's In Red " !!! I mean this '85 Spring Tour was Unbelievably Hot !!! ... as-was Summer Tour '85 too, as the Good Ol' " Mid-'80's ! " Grateful Dead were once again like a Train Rollin' Down The Track !!!!! I mean this-Shirt here ? -- it pretty-much Defines ! " Red, White & Blue " ... which even leads me to another point, regarding this Shirt's ' Grate-ness ' --- check out the Shirt-Tag on the inside, and you'll see that it reads " (c) 1980 L.A. Olympic Committee " Hah ! Which, yes-indeed ... as it does clearly-appear that Grateful Dead Productions was using " 1980 U.S.A. Olympics " T-Shirt ' overstock ' when needed !! Which is obviously ... so-Classic ! Heck, as I wonder if they even picked up a couple of crates of these White-Blue-3/4 Jersey-Sleeve ! Shirts at the '83 Lake PlAcid Show !!!? Hah ! Well, Hey Now Dead Fans ... the photos do-indeed to it All ! for this one -- close to 40-Years Old ! & still ...
