Description

The forecast called for rain, and those in attendance at the outdoor venue were none too pleased about it. This was Pink Floyd, albeit without Roger Waters, under the California stars, and the audience was holding their collective breath that the skies wouldn't open. Lo and behold, the heavens unleashed a light steady drizzle throughout the show, delivering a hazy, trippy effect, mixing and swirling with yet another stellar light show. The result was a hypnotic visual dream, and members of the audience still get the chills when recalling that night.

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.
