Tie Dye T-Shirts gained popularity in the 1960's<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

They began playing shows in Palo-Alto, California in 1965 and developed a hardcore lesion of fans known as “deadheads”.\u00a0 Deadheads would follow them around, city to city, seeing as many live concerts as possible.\u00a0 Along the way, they had to make money to pay for food and gas in order to get to the next show. \u00a0\u00a0Many of these fans began selling merchandise in the parking lot before and after the Grateful Dead would perform.\u00a0 The most popular items sold were homemade veggie burritos and tie-dye t-shirts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
