Grateful Dead

An original Grateful Dead T-shirt from 1967 sold for $17,640 through Sotheby’s on Friday, Oct. 15, breaking the record for the most expensive vintage rock shirt sold at auction.

Designed by Hells Angel and graphic artist Allan “Gut” Terk, the simple yellow tee sold for nearly twice as much as a Led Zeppelin shirt from that band’s 1979 concerts at Knebworth, which previously held the record for selling for $10,000 in an eBay auction in 2011.

After expenses and fees, auction winner Bo Bushnell paid a total of $19,315.80 for the Grateful Dead souvenir, which was listed in excellent condition among the Sotheby’s lot “From the Vault: Property From the Grateful Dead and Friends.” It is believed to be among the first shirts mass-produced by the band, although in incredibly limited quantities.

The T-shirt was previously in possession of Dan Healy, an audio engineer who worked with the Dead, according to Defunkd, the vintage T-shirt site that tracked the sale.
