There might be no show biz trick more primal, more bankable, or more affordable than coming out in matching outfits.
There may, however, be no act more Grateful Dead than Phil fucking the whole thing up with a vest he stole from a lesbian bookstore owner. (That phrase was ambiguous, so allow me to explain: both the human and the bookstore are lesbian in nature. Lesbian in a vest sitting behind the counter of a bookstore that caters to lesbians. There are absolutely no dicks in this equation.)
I keep meaning to get one of those shirts made up. Nothing could be easier
There’s a good color shot of Pig in one of them.
yeah they’re that purple right? don’t they wear them in Festival Express?
Maybe?
this is spencer’s cue, right?
I’m a little let down we haven’t seen like nine pictures already.
It’s Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday, so maybe spencer’s gone for the long weekend of celebrating whatever it is they in fact celebrate on Canadian Thanksgiving.
I detect snark
Spencer, he’s right. Thanksgiving is for giving thanks to God that He made you an American:
You mean this old thing?

The shoulder bits are the best.
Wait: compare the two. The black and white picture’s shirts have no shoulder bits.
There were (at least) two different sets of band shirts! This is a job for Lost Live Dead.

1:13 mark, buddy is wearing a gray Fillmore West version……….Canadian Thanksgiving blows.
Shoulder ones are Fillmore west, no shoulder shit= Fillmore East.
The shoulder things are aweseome, plus the purple and yellow is good together. Good shirts.
You know they had to steal them back from Mickey before the show.
I would love to be the David Lemieux of Mickey’s t-shirt collection.
On a related note, scrolling through the archives of the Pigpen tag is fantastic. Highly recommended for the n00bs who never went back and read from the beginning: https://thoughtsonthedead.wordpress.com/tag/pigpen/
intercontinental snark, so sorry
The snark comment was directed at ToTD. Making fun of Canada I’m fully on board with Morning Deuce.

Pig, vince guaraldi, reggie leach, & gary “suitcase” smith Make Party at Pig’s crib.
