Grateful Dead Fans ! ... Fans of Griffin Art !! - and most-likely too ... those from the East Coast !  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the September 23rd, 1982 ( 9/23/82 ) Show at the Veterans Memorial ( New Haven ) Coliseum, in New Haven, Connecticut ( CT ) !!!  And as you can see from the photos provided - this one is all ... Rick Griffin !!!  The one & only ! Rick Griffin, that is - as there is no other Fillmore Poster Artist just quite-like him !  Well, if you toured in '82 - the '80's or maybe ? - even the '90's ... then you will already be well-aware that this fantastic " USA Smoking Skeleton Wings ! " Art Design was definitely " The ! " Official GDP Tour Shirt to have - from this Amazing ! Touring-Year the Grateful Dead.  I myself always think of two main things when it comes to '82 Live Dead -- firstly, Garcia's tone & fret board attack !  As this was a totally transitional period - that really started in '81 where Jerry got both quicker & heavier !  I showed one of my Friends the 3/28/81 video not too long ago ( with The Who ! ) - and my Buddy's comment was a ' Classic ' on that day ... Wow man - Jerry's almost playing-Metal ?!?  You-bet he was.  Totally true in many ways - as during certain jam-points & ascensions - this was a " collective " beefed-up Grateful Dead ' Live ' - with some-serious Attack !!  And Secondly ... this was the early-days of the true emergence of the '80's-esque Bobby Weir that many fans love & live for !  Much vocal improv - that some fans cherished, and other fans - well ...  But the point is - this was the very Tour that " Throwing Stones " was played !  And in classic G.D. " we'll get around to it fashion " - Throwin' wasn't even featured on a G.D. Studio Album until the 1987 Masterpiece - ' In The Dark ' ! And frankly, we know what that one did for the band & scene - both good and bad things - but let's be honest ... way ! more ' good ' than bad.  On this particular Hot-Night ! of '82 Fall Tour G.D. - the " Throwin' " was placed in the 2nd Set - and was played into Drums !  And to my ears - the Little Red Rooster - and Let It Grow were passion-played in this 1st Set - with L.I.G. just Burnin'-Away ! to close this Set.  And Set 2 ??  A Touch of Grey opener played into a very-pretty Sailor > Saint ... with the Other One just slowly but surely Bursting ! out of The Wheel.  A Classic ! - Bold ! & Bright ! G.D. Pass indeed ... in Rick Griffin style ! & fashion !! ... Enjoy !!!!!
