Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1985 : " NASA Space Shuttle ! " - Cartoon Design !! : " Twenty Years So Far !! " G.D.

( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very Rare !!!!!
Grateful Dead Fans !!! ... Fans of the East Bay ! - the B.C.T. !! & Bezerkeley !!! - and naturally too ... Fans of " Space !!! ".  Offered here is the Vintage-Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) featuring an Early ! '85 G.D. Backstage Pass version of a NASA Space Shuttle ( with G.D. 13-Point Lightning-Bolt ! ) - in Cartoon ! Art-Design Fashion ! ... for the March 10th, 1985 ( 3/10/1985 ) B.C.T. Show ! - at the Legendary ! Berkeley Community Theatre !! ... on the '85 Spring Tour !!! - " 20-Years So Far !!! ".  Oh my Grateful Dead !!?  An Unbelievable !! Backstage Pass here Dead Fans ... which really ended up being more of a ' Tribute ' Pass soon after - with consideration of the January 1986 Space Shuttle " Challenger " American Tragedy which so-sadly occured ... touching basically all of America & beyond.  One of the most significant " remember right where you were, and exactly what you were doing " - at the very-moment it happened.  As at least in my lifetime, this was one of the big unforgettable moments - and such a sad one.  But, the Dead did indeed keep using this Pass design into the future - and too, the NASA Space Shuttle Program did go-on strong after - with nothing like that ever occurring to date, thank-goodness ... and count our lucky stars ! on that notion.  But, swiftly back to Rock & Roll here ... and Back ! to the B.C.T. ! in 1985 !! - for the Good Ol' " Mid-80's !! " Grateful Dead !!!  And oh-my-goodness ... did they ever Hammer ! this entire-run.  I mean hey, the bar was set darn-tall ! after the havoc they laid upon the BCT in Fall of '84 ( Massive !!! ) ... making the anticipation for this '85 run just Huge !!  They simply unloaded Magic ! on the B.C.T. in '84, and yep - you guessed it Fans ... Again ! in 1985 !!  What a way to kick-off " 20-Years So Far " !!!
This BCT Show ( Night # 2 of a 4-Show Stand !!!! ) was yet Another ! flat out toe-to-toe heater from this Legendary 1985 Tour ! ... and, pretty much at the ' front-end ' too, as there were only Three ( 3 ) '85 Kaiser Shows in February, before this March BCT run !  I mean talk-about some  Mighty " Brent-Era " Heat !!!  Whoa !!  BCT >>> 3/10/85 !!!!!  I don't know about you, but this G.D. sound, tone, energy, and what have you - is indeed ! is the Ballpark that my ears Love ! to play-in.  There were " Moments of Magic ! " Everywhere !! in Spring '85 - and not just at this BCT run - as really the entire majority of this Whole-Tour ! was more than note-worthy.  As the Band was just Super-Duper in the ' Groove ' !  And a lot of it, likely could be attributed to playing in Berkeley, at the BCT ! ... as they also Smoked ! this place during the Fall '84 Bay Area run - Big Time ! ( just think Gloria ! & Do It In The Road ! ).  And as for this 3/10/85 Show !?!  A Short ... but Sweet !!! 1st Set - opened with Stranger ! - included a massive Bird Song by Garcia - and closed with a Burner !!! delivery of Bucket > Rig Railroad Blues !!!  And as for Set II ??  Well ... Hey Now ! -- as just try this one for size ... Samson ( Sunday Sermon style ! ) > Terrapin > Truckin' > Smokestack !!!!!  Wow !!!!?!  A Sweet ! Stella Blue, and then more Garcia Smoke & G.D. Lightning - in the form of GDTRFB - Johnny B. Goode ! - and Day Job !!  And nope ... if you were about to ask ?  I'll just go ahead & answer in advance ... I totally-dig Day Job !! - proudly in the Dead Fan majority, or - at least I suppose ... Ha !  Plus, the ' Twilight-Zone ' sound was just all-over-the-place ! on this BCT run too, as I have Cassette Masters of 3 of these 4 nights ... and there is creative Energy All -Over ! ... that is just Killer ! sound - B.K. & Mick getting-after ! it - with reckless abandon, on virtually-all of the Drums > Space Show-time.  Well, kinda sad to say ( yet, not to spoil this fun !! ) - but ... Spring '86 was indeed it for the Band at the BCT - as the Fanfare was getting too big for such a small & intimate Venue.  But, those who were really-really lucky got to see the 1st Phil & friends Show at the BCT in September 1994 !?!!  This 9/24/94 Show featured the inaugural " Phil & Friends " line-up with Phil, Bobby ... & Jerry !  They Rocked-it " Unplugged " ... and in MTV-type style !  Or, at least as Bobby mentioned on-stage !  Hah !!  Plus, I've always heard word on how much Phil loves Berkeley ... and, me too ! as it was my ol' stompin' ground for a short while - back in the day ( aka. The Mid-'90's ! ).  So, as all of this rolls into one ... the conclusion is quite clear here - we'll just let this one speak for itself  >>> Grateful Dead !!!  " 20-Years So Far " !!!!!  3/10/85 BCT !!!!!!!  Can't say it any-better than that ...  Enjoy !!!!!

Grateful Dead Fans !!! - and especially-those who loved seeing their MSG Shows !! - way back in the day ...
Always ! looking-forward to their inevitable G.D. in MSG ! " Moments-Of-Magic ! " ... during Space !!!  Well ... offered here is the Vintage
Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) f
or
the
Madison Square Garden Show ! in New York, NY - NYC !! -
on October 17th, 1994 ( 10/17/1994 ).
And, you betcha ... as this is a G.D. Pass Art Design ! that is All-about Space !!!
In fact, it gets even better too - as the photo well shows - as this one features a " Space Skeleton " ( with Sunglasses !! ) right on the Pass !?!  Whoa !!  Right-on is right !  And hey, you know - this Skeleton most-definitely ! needs those stylish Sunglasses too - because as we all well-know - it's
pret
t
y "
bright " up-there in Space !!  Ha !  Totally a Hilarious ! G.D. Classic ...  I don't know
,
but are you with me all of you John Prine Fans out there - this
one kind of
makes me thin
k of the " Space Monkey ! " -
only minus the
' Monkey ' because here we have a Sunglass
(ed) Uncl
e
Sam
-esque Skeleton instead !  " Space Skeleton, Space Skeleton ... ".  And by all means how appropriate - as not only is he ' floating ' up there ( with Shades ! on
) - but he's also doing a little floating
Upside-Down !?!  Sure hope he doesn't float-away ... because as we all know & anxiously-hope ! ) - Garcia is ' just-about ' to tap that Phaser !!!  Ahhhhh, yes.  Plus, this is also how many Dead Fans do feel ( & look ?!? - Ha ! ) after a
Good Ol' solid-night of G.D. !! - and especially at NYC's one & only ! M.S.G. !!!  I mean you name it ... '79, '81, '82, '83, '87, '88, '90, '91, '93 & '94!!!!!
The 1st Grateful Dead Show ever was played on January 7th, 1979 ( 1/7/1979 ) ... and, from 1979 to 1994 - the Grateful Dead managed to Top 50 ! at MSG !!!  They played Fifty-Two ( 52 ) Shows total at for the New York City Deadhead Faithful ! inside the Madison Square Garden - with this October 17, 1994 ( 10/17/1994 ) Backstage Show Pass representing the " 50th Dead Show at MSG " !!!  And, what a pretty appropriate design ! for a " 50th ! " Grateful Dead Show at MSG ... a Skeleton ! dressed-up in a Astronauts Uniform !! - up-in Space !!!  Whoa !?!  What a Classic - and then some.  Totally-Funny stuff !
Which does-indeed lead me to my next vital & important point about this Pass - as this 1994 Fall Tour G.D. run was indeed the Last & Final ! time that the Good Ol' Grateful Dead Ever ! graced Madison Square Garden !  A grand place for Rock & Roll ! ... and Rock & Roll History !!
As even Bob Dylan showed up to play the ' Rainy Day Women ' Encore ! with the Grateful Dead at this 10/17/94 Show !!!
Dang ... and
I also even remember Phil Lesh saying one time that MSG was his favorite Indoor Venue that the Grateful Dead played !  Wow ... as are those some serious ' props ' or what ?!  That one even surprised me a bit ... but Hey-Now ! - as it is N.Y.C !! that we are talking about here ... as " In & Out of the ' Garden ! ' We Go !!! ".  Ha !
Alw
ays a
Peaceful Place - or so it looks from " Space !!! ".  Just ask the Skeleton !!!  I sure hope ' HAL ' chooses to let him back into that Spacecraft !!?!  Never-know though ... Ha !!  Enjoy this
Space-Beauty ! of a '94 G.D. ! - New York !! - MSG !!! ... Dead Pass !!!!!
