Cali run in Southern California.  My better-half always ! swears by ... between seeing the G.D. & J.G.B. -- both Ventura & Vegas ... is all you need !  Well, you know ... and Oakland too !  Ha !  Yes indeed, as that was the way that a lot of loyal G.D. Fans felt, and ... for real good reason !  At the 6/13 Show ... a Smoker ! of a Let It Grow closed Set I -- only to lead to a Shakedown ! opener in Set II !!  And from the Estimated > Eyed on ... the Boys took it on Home ! >>> Space > Other One ! > Morning Dew !! > Sugar Mag !  And, as for 6/14 ...

Skeleton & Roses -- of 1966 FD-26 Fame !  And too, for what it's worth ... plenty ! actually -- this might even be the 1st ! Bertha Pass " Backstage Pass " that the Band used ?!?  With ... the Super ! Dark-Blue border.  This is indeed an early one, and - if it's not the very-first Bertha & Blue / Bertha ... well, it is darn-close !  So very-cool ...  This design was used later on ... Vegas '91 - Chicago '92, etc. - in Blue.  And, was also used with other different colors - but, this one is indeed one of the Originals ! from the '87 Era !  Awesome ...  So, yep - you bet.  A couple of G.D.

Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1993 : " Complete ! " 3-Show Backstage Pass Set !!! : September 12, 13 & 14, 1993 ( 9/12/1993 - 9/13/1993 - 9/14/1993 ) - The Spectrum - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ( PA ) : 1993 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!
" Complete Set ! " of Grateful Dead Backstage Passes for the '93 Fall Tour Shows ! at the Philly Spectrum !! on 9/12/93 - 9/13/93 - 9/14/93 ... Featuring Jerry Garcia Art ! - a G.D. Dancin' Bear Showering with his Lady Friend ! - and even ... a Philadelphia Eagle ! ... with a " Steal Your Face ! " G.D. Eagle Eye !!!  So-Awesome . . .
Dead Fans !! ... and Philly-Fans too !!  Offered here is a " Complete Set ! " of Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Passes from the Band's 3-Night stand at the Spectrum !!!  At this point, the Grateful Dead were closing in on the " 50-Shows at the Spectrum ! ", which they eventually did indeed accomplish in 1994!  Way too many " Moments of G.D. Magic ! " at the Good Ol' Spectrum, right ?  Actually, I've actually tried to count - no kidding ... and ' tally-marks ' go way sky-high when you start counting the Red-Hot ! G.D. Spectrum moments - with that infectious & one-of-a-kind East Coast Energy !!  Personally, I'm pretty crazy about 5/4/81 right now, but that's a whole different story - for a different time.  I love talking Dead Tapes - Yes !  So check this out ... with this " Complete 3-Pass Set !!! " - you will receive the entire-run from this '93 Fall Tour Philly stand !  The 9/12/93 Pass is really one of the Very-Coolest ! designs of the Early/Mid-90's Era, in my personal opinion ... and this design was only used in '93 & '94 - with this one ( I believe ? ) being the inaugural use of this design by GDP !  And yep, you guessed it ... a Tony Reonegro design !  I like to call this one The Philadelphia Eagle !  And as for this 9/13/93 Pass ??  You definitely guessed this one ... right ?  I hope so, as it's Jerry Garcia Artwork !!  A cool-little Jerry-Sketch / Doodle, that appears to be of a little Lion-Cub !!  I'm uncertain of the actual ' name ' of this drawing by Garcia, or if it even has been named - but, Garcia definitely called them like he saw them, so I'm maybe thinking Lion-Cub ?  But, I'm sure a little Jerry-Art research could possibly yield the actual title.  Great color contrasts on this one ... just check out the photos, as it would most-definitely look fantastic in a frame, with the right-color matte !  And last - but definitely ! not-least ... here you have a Smiling Dancing Bear either getting out, or in ! the shower - and as the Pass itself shows ... there's already someone else in there enjoying their hot shower !  Hah !  Totally-Classic ... as I'll just let " The Pass do the Talkin' " on this Way-Beyond-Funny one !!?!  To me, this looks like a Grateful Dead-ed up version of the Hitchcock Psycho ! scene ... but this is G.D. style here, so no Knife ... naturally & just a furry-grin from the Dancin' Bear instead - with even a little soap on the nose !!  Whoa !?!  So in other words ... just about all that is missing from this G.D. '93 Philly-Spectrum lot is Ben Franklin himself !  Did you catch this run ?! ... Hopefully-So !  I sure hope so too, because if that's indeed the case - then I just made a fellow Dead Fans Day !!!  Enjoy !!!!!
