Grateful Dead T-shirts are our priority, going way back to 1980 when John sold his own designs on tour. (Phil wore one of his Scarlet Begonias shirts onstage in 1981!) Since then, there have been over one thousand different Dead shirts sold everywhere from parkinglots to boutiques (well, more like the record shop kind of boutique). Dharma Rose was born to carry on this great tradition, and bring you the finest Deadhead attire and toys of the trade. |

Stickers
|
|
Folks have been requesting stickers for years now. Given issues of packing stickers with T-shirts, I dragged my feet a bit, but after weeks of planning and several days scanning like a madman, there are now over 100 decal and sticker designs in stock, including some four dozen Grateful Dead Designs. Thank you for your feedback, and for your patience. |

We continue to build our collection of Grateful Dead designs that are usually available in 3XL, and occasionally in 4XL and 5XL. In this quest we are even having some designs printed in those larger sizes just for us, when that is what it takes. In that spirit, we are particularly pleased to announce that we now have, for the first time, Grateful Dead hoodies in size 3XL. |
Plus-Sized In-Stock Grateful Dead designs, or by size: 3XL 4XL 5XL |
Other Dead 3XLs - GD designs (including hoodies!) often available in 3XL or better, but not neccessarily in inventory. |

Important dates in Grateful Dead History |
Only five months had elapsed since the Dead refused to play at Altamont due to the ongoing violence at that infamous festival, and the events at Kent State were heading inexorably towards their own horrible climax (the ROTC building was torched at the same time this concert was held some 500 miles away). There was plenty of energy available on campus and, while much of it was negative, the Grateful Dead channeled it constructively into a wonderful concert. What marvelous alchemy! |
I was thrilled when this show was selected as the 8th Dick's Pick. While Dick was always eager to showcase a rare gem (preferably uncirculated, such as Columbus, 1970), he would still honor time-tested classic shows with an official release of exceptional quality. Thankfully, he had the discretion to leave off the excruciatingly painful Cold Rain and Snow (tuning is better done before the song, rather than during). |
With Workingman's Dead to be released imminently, it is no surprise that this seminal album was showcased in a strong acoustic set. However, the rub of the show is the electric material. My personal favorite is Viola Lee Blues; not even the Phil Zone version tops this one. But, there are plenty of personal favorites to suit any Deadhead's palate (well, except for the Cold Rain aficionado). Even the banter from this excellent concert is memorable (e.g., Phil's immortal words after Dancing In The Streets). |
If you don't already own Dick's Pick 8, it is well worth the investment. And, if you really have to, you can listen to the unfortunate Cold Rain and Snow courtesy of Archive.org: 1970-05/02 Harpur State (but don't say you weren't warned). |
