Calling all Dead Heads far and wide! Dave Lemieux, Grateful Dead archivist, producer and legacy manager, has curated an exclusive collection inspired by musical aspects and locations of previous shows. Dave is coming up on his 25th anniversary with the Grateful Dead on February 1, 2024, and what better way to celebrate than with an exclusive headwear collection!

Each hat is lined with artwork from three of Dave's favorite respective shows at Thelma, Academy of Music and McArthur Court and includes the colorful front Stealie logo and Grateful Dead side patch. In 1969, the song Alligator is played at Thelma and in 1978 the Dead played the Close Encounters theme at McArthur Court. The collection includes a custom ‘Dave’s Picks’ Bertha pin with each hat.

The Grateful Dead 'Dave's Picks' Collection is available exclusively online, in Lids HD Queens, Lids HD Houston and select Lids locations. Click here for the store list.
