Grateful Dead 1990 Indian Summer Tour Shirt

The Grateful Dead 1990 Indian Summer Tour Shirt is a vibrant and memorable piece that reflects both the spirit of the band during this pivotal period and the unique design style of the era. The 1990 Indian Summer Tour was part of a series of shows in the late summer and early fall, showcasing the band at a crucial time.

Despite this major shift, the Grateful Dead continued to tour with their signature energy, captivating their dedicated fanbase.

The artwork on this shirt is often rich with colors and imagery that celebrate Native American themes, drawing on the notion of an “Indian Summer” — a warm and peaceful period during the early fall.
