The “Grateful Dead Parachuting Bears” design is an evolution of the iconic Grateful Dead dancing bears. which have a rich history and symbolic meaning. The Dancing Bears were originally created by artist Bob Thomas for the back cover of the band’s 1973 album, “The History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear’s Choice).” The design was inspired by a 36-point lead type slug featuring a generic bear print that Thomas found and used as his artistic basis.
The bears were named in honor of Owsley “Bear” Stanley, the band’s first sound engineer and a key figure in the psychedelic scene of the 1960s. Stanley was also one of the first private producers of LSD, and the bears became a symbol of the counterculture associated with the Grateful Dead. Over time, the dancing bears came to symbolize the carefree, joyful, and rebellious spirit of the Grateful Dead and their fans, known as Deadheads. The bears, often depicted in vibrant tie-dye colors, represent a sense of fun and the freewheeling lifestyle associated with the band’s music and culture.
