Dead
Fans !!! Here you go ... as offered here is the David Opie designed " Bertha
Skull & Roses Evolution " Classic !!! Without question, this is one
of those " Yep, I Need That One " ... Dead Tees ! I'll never forget the
first time that I saw this Amazing ! design surface, as it was inside the pavilion at
Shoreline !! And it was the guy sitting 1-Row between me & Bill
Walton that was wearing it !?! Quite easy to remember that day, for all
reasons obvious ... Bill !!! But
seriously, I was like - Whoa ??! Where did you get that ... and he was
like - nowhere super special man, just at the Merch. Stand. You can
imagine what it was like seeing this clever G.D. beauty for the very 1st
time ... I mean check out the photos ! It features a wonderfully
creative 9-part segment inside a
' Grid ' that shows the Prehistoric > Modern Evolution of the " Bertha ! "
Skull & Roses itself ! And as far as I'm concerned ... it's a True
Story! Ha !! I mean it's all Black & White in this scene too -
until
Bertha arrives ( " Evolves ! " ) wearing a Blue Ribbon with Red Roses in
her Hair ! And
underneath ... written in what looks like kind of a Bone-like font ...
Grateful Dead !!! And on the back side ... the ' Complete ' Evolution of
the
Bertha Skeleton ! ... evolving into what looks like Dancin' at a Dead
Show !! Well, that seems to me to just be about right ! Right on ...
Possibly during a mean & nasty China > Rider !!! transition,
perhaps ? Ha !! I
mean check it out, as this is a full-on 4-legged to 2-legged Evolution
here - obviously going Way-Back ! And below ... you bet -- What A Long
Strange trip It's Been !!! WALSTIB !!!!! Oh my. And above, a Very-Cool !
Skull & Rose design with a Blue 13-point Bolt ! Wow, I wish we'd
seen more of this design on stickers, tape covers & what have you - back in the day.
Very-Nice !! David
Opie is
credited for this Amazingly clever design, with 1993 GDM, Inc. written beside.
And last but definitely not least ... the Black T-Shirt ! Yeah, Jerry style.
Acquire this Epic ! Grateful Dead Shirt, and you'll have a new
G.D. Fashion Best Friend for certain. I
love this one ... if you already can't tell. Enjoy !!!!!
