##MUSICGD2046 - Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Pictures Bear in Bubble Held by a Hand

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4 1/2" diameter Grateful Dead sticker/decal. These are high quality art decals that were made for car windows. I peeled the cover off for the picture. They are in mint condition and can still be used. This one is from around the late 1980s and has an artist signature Jeremy. It features a Grateful Dead Bear showing a peace sign in a bubble being held by a hand.

These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise. I found them wrapped in plastic in boxes in master cases. They came from a distributor who sold them to tour vendors. The condition is pristine and they still will work as a car decal or window/mirror sticker. We found them packed away in storage boxes dated 1992 (many are older than that) and 1995 (year Jerry Garcia died). They are high quality artist renderings of Grateful Dead themes. Back in the day, the Dead did not monitor copyrights and that sort of thing, and in fact, at one point encouraged artists to do designs. The LA times explained it well “The Grateful Dead was famously lax in enforcing it’s intellectual property rights and trademarks, allowing fans to create their own designs using the band’s expansive iconography”. Since there was no serious monitoring or much concern back then, a lot of up and coming artists got involved in designing them. This is how some of them got their starts. Some of the sticker artists who designed these stickers went on to produce official licensed works for the Grateful Dead and other famous groups. These stickers include some by now famous designers including David Opie, and others. These older stickers are very hard to find anymore.

##MUSICBP1899 - PHISH Laminated Guest Access 98 Backstage Pass Picturing Cornelius in Planet of the Apes

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 4 1/4" tall laminated OTTO Guest Access backstage pass from the 1998 Summer Tour. Unused old stock in great condition. Like most PHISH passes, they have blank backs.

In the late 1990s PHISH pictured a series of old TV and Sports Personalities on their passes. The Planet of the Apes series are just plain cool. For those not familiar, PHISH has a massive following. They are a "jam" and "improvisational" rock band that is loved by their fans. Because they don't play mainstream music, they get little mainstream radio play, but have still sold over 8 million albums, and have filled stadiums all over the country. They have a huge cult like following (people follow them around like the Grateful Dead) and their backstage passes are one of the most widely collected.

#BEADS0181 - Navettes - Japanese Millefiori Flower Cabochons - Pick Your Color

Vintage 14mm Glass Japanese Millefiori Navette Flower Cabochons with faceted backs. We found these in our big find on the West Coast. They were in with the rest of the stuff that they brought in to sell to the hippies in the late 1960s. The colors are very beautiful. Flower Power indeed. The word "Millefiori" is Italian and means 1000 flowers. To make these flower patterns on the beads is labor intensive and requires hand cutting a hot cane of glass that has been patterned. They are all handmade and so the sizes will vary a little and they may not all be perfectly round. Found unused still in their original packages. Pick your color and size from the pull down menu.

They were sold as hippie items from a bead store near the Haight Ashbury area. In 1967, the hippie phenomena dominated the area and the demand for beads was huge. The owner of this store put out the call that he wanted all types of beads that were either colorful, large, earthenware, or had mystical significance. Some of the items that he brought into the store were much older, and we will note them in the listings. The hardcore hippies wanted glass or ceramic or earthenware, so that is what most of these items are. The lucite stuff was for the fake hippies. The demand started slacking as the hippie phenomena died down and by the mid 1970s, they started selling gold chains and disco related items instead. The hippie items were taken from the front shelves, and stored in the back. The newspaper they were wrapped in was dated 1977, so that's when they put them back there. The most striking thing in the store is an old display of huge African Trade Bead necklaces from the 1800s. They were even selling those sort of beads to the hippies. One of those necklaces will run you about 2 grand now. That place is a real time warp. You could still smell incense around some of the boxes and I kept hearing Jimi Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane in my head. Just amazing.
