Grateful Dead
Fans ! Welcome here to an Awesome ! Grateful Dead Backstage Lot of the
Unique ! & Rare-Kind !! Offered here is a Rare ! Four ( 4 ) Pass Lot
of Grateful Dead Backstage Passes which were designed, manufactured &
issued between 1985 & 1995 !!! All of these Vintage Original ( Genuine
/ Authentic ) Grateful Dead Passes have their backings intact (unused &
unpeeled) - and None ! of these beautiful G.D. Pass designs have been ink
marked with any Grateful Dead Productions ' Tour-Markings ' - no ink pen, no
writing, no codes, no stamps, etc.. Just the Artistic Passes themselves
... all in Good/Very Good to Excellent conditions ! ... Very Good/Excellent
overall !! Please see all photos provided, as I have provided close-up
photos of each ! Pass for your viewing pleasure, and consideration. These
Passes are commonly referred to as " No Date " Passes -- Undated
Backstage Passes, which were intentionally printed without any Tour Dates,
Venues, Cities, etc.. - and this type of Pass was used as ' Official
Credentials ' to Grateful Dead Shows, whenever the need would arise.
Surplus Passes, if I may ... which could be used at will whenever needed - as
extra Passes, replacement Passes, additional Passes, etc., etc.. And,
they were generally ' written-on ' right on the front side - with marker, pen,
or a designated tour stamp by GDP Employees. You know, the old motto -
" Always Be Prepared ! ". So ... obviously, hence the Pure Rarity
! of this particular G.D. Pass Lot -- as essentially, these are Passes that
survived the numerous decades unscathed !! Never marked, and never
used. And ... with these Passes being without dates, some feel that it
lets the Artistic ! designs on this type of Pass ' breathe ' just a little bit
more. In other words, no printed dates, venues, cities, etc. cluttering
the Pass background -- more Space ! for the designs themselves !!! Though
naturally, many Folks do really love their dates on their Passes too ... as
dates deliver memories indeed ! - to say the very least. Just like Art !
designs too ... I personally view it like this ... remember the Mounds
vs. Almond Joy commercial - in the 1970's & 1980's ? You know ...
" Sometimes you feel like a nut, and sometimes you don't ! "
Well, when it comes to Rock & Roll ... and especially ! Grateful Dead
Passes .. .. .. " Sometimes you feel like a ' date ', and sometimes you
don't ! " Ha !! That one actually just came into my head a few
years ago ... and I like it ! Thanks for listening & letting me share
too ! ... classic. Wow !!! - and as for the Artistic Images & Designs
on these Grateful Dead Passes ??! Whoa !!! Jerry Garcia Art ! ( a
Humerous Sketch of Bob Weir !! ) – a couple of Vaudeville " Grave Dancers " – a
Harley Davidson ( HD ! ) Chopper ! And, last – but most certainly
not-least … a Grateful Dead " Steal Your Face ! U.S.A. Flag " ( Bob Thomas !
& Owsley " Bear " Stanley ! Designed !! ) !!! A pretty-neat
G.D. Backstage Pass lot … for certain ! Excellent for Framing &
Displaying " all together "! – or ... " all over "!!
Bright, Bold, Vivid ... & Classic ! – some “ Good Ol' Grateful Dead “ Rock
& Roll Relics !!! Enjoy !!!!!
