Description: Grateful Dead Shirt : Vintage Original ( Genuin / Authentic ) : 1989 : " Rainforest Panther !!! - Gone In Our Lifetime ? " : John ' Mikio ' Kennedy Art Design ! : '89 Grateful Dead Merchandising, Inc. ( 1989 GDM, Inc. ) : Long Sleeve ! : White : Very-Rare ! & Quintessential !! Late-'80's Era Grateful Dead Shirt !!! The Mikio ! designed 1989 GDM " Rainforest Panther - Gone In Our Lifetime ? " Shirt ... The Rare !! " Long-Sleeved " version !!!!! Dead Fans !!! Offered here is indeed one of the Quintessential ! " for a cause " Shirts made for the Grateful Dead !! In fact, this shirt could possibly be considered " The " main cause shirt of the 1990's -- with this shirt design 1st entering the Grateful Dead universe in 1989. It is indeed a " Mikio " ( John Mikio Kennedy ) art design - famous for numerous ! Artistic & Beautiful ! G.D. Shirts all throughout the 1980's, dating back to '80 - and maybe even prior ? One thing is for certain - you indeed know a " Mikio " when you see one. This Shirt design was assembled, and sold by GDM starting in 1989 - with the impactful logo / slogan also included on the backside of the shirt " Rain forest : Gone In Our Lifetime ? ". I don't know who out there caught the 1991 Giants stadium Shows ? 6/16/91 & 6/17/91 ? But if you did ... you were not only part of some seriously quality Live Grateful Dead at those Shows, but you also might have seen yourself on T.V. !!! As live-segments from these two shows were used in a Nationally Broadcast " Rainforest Special " which included some heavy duty Dead ! Eyes of the World - Saint of Circumstance, etc.. and this broadcast ( which aired after the Shows ), also included some serious ( yet, still totally hilarious ) interview footage with the Band ! Jerry, Bobby, etc.. Point being, this was a cause that the band was extremely serious about helping, and spreading awareness among Dead Fans, and beyond however they could. And obviously, through the Rex Foundation. In fact, this same shirt design ( front side only ) was sold at the amazing Rex run at Cal Expo in 1993 !! With the Cal Expo dates on the backside, instead. So, this one here is indeed the 1st generation " Vintage-Original ", and it is even the Long-Sleeved version too ... which you obviously hardly-ever ! see anymore here today - 35-Years ! later !!! -- Enjoy !!!!!
