The Grateful Dead 1985 Summer Tour was called "Twenty Years So Far." The art for the tour was by Rick Griffin and features a American flag waving and a skeleton soldier holding a guitar instead of a gun.

I can put it no better than internet music reviewer "fuzzyjenkins" -
Subject: Unbelievable Shakedown! A lot of Deadhead rag on 85 more than any other year. Especially the 70's Head's. Well those guys have never heard this show. This show is absolutely incredible. The second set smokes from cover to cover. Just unbelievable. And though the Shakedown is no doubt the best version ever, the rest of the set is just a reflection of how the boys felt this night. They played Gimme som Lovin in the middle of the second set for crying out loud. He's Gone into Cryptical. All very focused and smoking hot. I lover this show. Not too mention any show that opens with 1/2 Step, you'd better look out.
