Auburn x Grateful Dead Basketball Bears Hoodie

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

War Eagle! While the Grateful Dead never officially touched down at Auburn’s Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum, that hasn’t stopped the spirit of the Dead from grooving its way into campus life. Imagine, if you will, a night where the usual chants of “War Eagle!” give way to the harmonious strains of “Uncle John’s Band.” Though Jerry and the crew never serenaded Auburn in person, their music has been the soundtrack to many a dorm room jam session and impromptu quad gathering. The essence of the Dead’s improvisational magic and sense of community resonates with Auburn students seeking a break from the traditional. Jerry Garcia's deep roots in bluegrass helped shape the band's sound, blending traditional Southern music with psychedelic rock. This mix appealed to Southern audiences, including students at Auburn, who were part of the broader cultural shift. Auburn students often traveled to nearby cities to experience the Dead’s live shows, embracing their ethos of improvisation and community. The Dead’s fusion of Southern musical traditions with experimental rock contributed to the spread of Deadhead culture across the South during a time of social change.
