40 years ago 9/3/72 at Folsom Field

An amazing 3 set wonder outside under the Flatirons! A day I'll never forget. Thank you Rainbow family!

Park West Ski Area 9-4-83

Spent the day in Utah with the band up in the hills, where at least one person was observed entering the show under the canopy of a parachute, with purple smoke trailing behind him; some folks had set up a tarp in the middle of the crowd, upon which target the parachutist then made his graceful landing. As he passed over my head, I could see that he was dancing and had a ticket in his hand. Just a day like any other day, back when we had a Grateful Dead.

I think...

though I'm prepared to be corrected by those with better knowledge, that the designs are from Jer's art, of which there is lots, but I don't know the details.

Jerry ties?

Were the original Jerry ties actually designed by Jerry? Or did he just attach his name to it? If he did it, how many different designs were his as opposed to, say, variations on a theme? Wage slaves? Really? In America? Say it ain't so! If I were president Jerry ties would be de rigeur in my administration. On topic, 40 years ago today the Grateful Dead played an epic 14 song acoustic first set at the Fillmore East that included Cocaine Blues.

when they first came out

I thought they were quite nice, and they served as sort of a subversive statement for wage slaves compelled to wear ties. I suppose they still do, but I kinda scratch my head at their transformation to that big a line also.
