Arizona x Grateful Dead Circle Bears Tee

Officially licensed by the University of Arizona and Grateful Dead - available exclusively through Class Trip.

The University of Arizona, nestled in the heart of Tucson, shares a rich history with the Grateful Dead. The band’s performance at the university on April 11, 1969, marked the beginning of a vibrant connection. Known for its laid-back atmosphere and embrace of countercultural ideals, the university became a welcoming stop for the Dead. Students flocked to these concerts, drawn by the band’s improvisational jams and the sense of community that permeated their shows. The Dead’s music resonated with the university’s free-spirited ethos, fostering a unique bond between the band and the student body. This connection extended beyond the concerts, with Deadheads becoming a visible presence on campus, contributing to the university’s rich tapestry of cultural expression. The spirit of the Dead seemed to blend perfectly with the desert landscape, creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. Even today, echoes of those legendary shows can be felt on campus, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Grateful Dead at the University of Arizona.
