The strip of vendors outside of a concert in the parking lot, usually defined by their tailgate style tents. Common things sold are food, tye-dye,
patchwork clothing and bags, tapestries and
incense. The term comes from the so-named
Grateful Dead song, because so many vendors found their place at Grateful Dead shows in their lot scene.
