TSPTR x STORMCROWSILVER DeadHead Guitar Pick Necklace

LIMITED EDITION

The Dead’s legendary 1972 European run began and ended in London. In between, they’d gone everywhere from Denmark to France, refining new material like the dazzling, bluesy “He’s Gone,” and perfecting the art of tossing hash pipes out the bus windows while crossing borders. So by the time they returned to London for a four-night stand at the old Lyceum, they were one groovy, well-oiled machine, reaching an all-time high for the finale on May 26. Only one problem: one of the mics needed adjusting. Dennis “Wiz” Leonard left the truck (the band’s makeshift mobile recording studio) to fix it, just in time to witness a 10-minute “Morning Dew” that stopped him dead in his tracks — and even brought Garcia to tears. That masterpiece, and several other tracks from that performance, make up the bulk of the jaw-droppingly great Europe ‘72. At the end of the tour Garcia gave custom silver guitar pick necklaces to all of the roadcrew in celebration of what he believed to be one of their finest tours to date.

This is a homage to that necklace, handmade in England by StormCrow Silver, it features a chunky Sterling silver guitar pick pendant, with hand stamped skull and lightning bolt details, it measures 3cm x 2.8cm and comes on a Sterling silver 56cm ball chain with Sterling silver lobster clasp and jump ring.
