Description

In Concert Against Aids was a ground breaking, 18-months-in-the-making entertainment series taking place in the Bay Area over five days at the end of May, 1989. Conceived and organized by Bill Graham and billed as a "... total community effort ..." the jewel in the crown was this star-studded concert on May 27 at the Oakland Coliseum.

Pelons are extremely rare "practice pieces" for the early t-shirt designs. Before production was initiated, the image or design was tested on cotton cloth or burlap to determine the color and line accuracy of the piece. The earlier examples, those dating from the '70s, are generally the only pelons run on burlap. Few of these "tests" were preserved once the design was deemed acceptable and the shirt went into production.
