Washington x Grateful Dead Mascot Bears Hoodie

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

The Grateful Dead and the University of Washington crossed paths in a big way on May 21, 1974, when they took over Hec Edmundson Pavilion for a show that would go down in Deadhead history. How legendary? Try a 46-minute version of Playing in the Band—the longest single-song performance the Dead ever played. Seattle’s free-thinking, music-loving crowd was the perfect match for the band’s wild improvisation, and that night, the city’s growing music scene got a dose of pure, unfiltered Dead magic on Lake Union. Whether you were a die-hard fan or just a curious Husky looking for a good time, you left knowing you’d witnessed something special. Even now, the echoes of that jam live on, proving that the Dead and the Pacific Northwest were always meant to ride the same long, strange trip.
