The ' Middle Show ' Ticket ! for the Triumphant ! 1994 Last & Final Stand of the Grateful Dead in Eugene ! at the University of Oregon's Mighty Autzen Stadium ! - the Very-Proud ! Home of the Oregon Fighting Ducks !!!!!!!
Grateful Dead Fans ! & ' Dead-icated ' Grateful Ducks !! Everywhere !!!  Offered here indeed is a Rare & Incredibly Awesome Vintage - Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Ticket ! for the Grateful Dead / Oregon Ducks Fan !!!  I know I've met quite a few of these Fans in my days ... but, oh-wait ?!  That's right ... I am one !  I guess the only question is then ... which do I like better ?  Ahhhhh ... Oh-No ! & No-Way !! as I could never-ever go there ... I mean after all Fans - '94 is a year where not-only ! did the Grateful Dead deliver 3 Summer Tour Shows !! in Mighty Autzen Stadium ... but Kenny Wheaton also delivered " The Pick " !!!  '94 Forever !! ... I say !  So yes indeed Fans ... as offered here is the 6/18/94 " Middle-Show " Ticket for the Glorious ! 3-Show G.D. stand ... at Mighty Autzen !  The Band played their Last / Final U of O and Eugene stand on June 17th, 18th & 19th, 1994 ... and this Ticket is from the 2nd Show !  Well-known to many Fans who were there as " China > Rider ! Show !! ".
And ... as for the importance of these Shows ?  Whoa !?!  As I don't really even really know where to start ??  Well ... let's just put it this way 1st - this is the " Last & Final " Grateful Dead run of Shows at both !! the University of Oregon !!! - and in Eugene !!!  In yes, the land of Ken Kesey & Friends - who even taught a Creative Writing Class at ! the U of O - just shortly before this time.  In fact, these were almost ! the very-last Grateful Dead Shows in the entire Grate-State ! of Oregon - if it wasn't for a 2-Show run in Portland at Portland Meadows in May of 1995.  So ... in effect - this was truly the Grateful Dead's ' unofficial ' Goodbye ! to both !! the U of O ! & Eugene ! ... but, because of the way things ended up working out ... not a single Band Member - G.D. Family Member - or Dead Fan ! ever knew it at the actual time - in June of '94.  So Yes !!!  Arguably the very-best way to say ' Goodbye-Forever ' indeed ... when nobody even knows it at the time - and the entire focus can just be Grate-Times ! - Rock & Roll !! - even some ... Sunshine ! in Mighty Autzen Stadium - and of course, and naturally ... some Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!!  3-Shows worth - and 3 Solid ! Shows worth, at that ...  I saw all-three myself & sat right in the front row for the 6/17/94 Show - ( right between Garcia & Weir ! ) - and, to this day it is still ! quite hard to pick a ' Favorite '.  And ... it is also very-important to note that the Grateful Dead were actually ' Banned ' from playing the University of Oregon Autzen Stadium - right after the 1990 Shows they played.  And why, you might ask ?  Well, you know ... numerous troubles with Fan behavior, etc., etc., etc. - blah, blah, blah ... - until >>> ( Hah !!! ) >>> Jerry Garcia Himself ! took care of this little ( Big ! ) problem all on his very-own ... and almost by simply & so-fortunate coincidence !  Just a ' Simple Twist Of Fate ' ! ... if I may.  Like when all of the Planets & Stars align - sort of like during a Smoldering Drums ! > Space !!  Hah !  So yes indeed ... Jerry ran into Dan Williams ( U of President, at the time ) in Hawaii where Dan was vacationing - and so was Garcia ... as he was Scuba-Diving ! ... (  I mean what are the chances of this ?!? - Truly-Amazing !!! ) ... then Dan spotted him down there - and Dan's Wife thought it would be pretty-cool to introduce himself to Jerry ... and ask for a photo of them together.  So, Dan asked Jerry & Jerry obliged - naturally, but - with only one very small stipulation ... " Why don't you let us come back to play in Eugene ? - because we really love playing there ?! ".  Well Folks, that was indeed all she wrote & Dan Williams Delivered ! on his handshake-promise to Garcia !!! - as 8/21/1993 & 8/22/1993 were officially-booked just shortly thereafter - and then the rest was all G.D. / Duck U. History in August 1993 !  And, then-again Amazingly! ... a Last & Final 3-night stand at Autzen on the 1994 Summer Tour was allowed - yet once again !!!  Five ( 5 ) !!!!! More 1993 / 1994 Grateful Dead Shows at the U of O !!!  Duck U'r Face !!!!!!!  Enjoy this very-fine piece of Grateful Dead ! - Oregon ! - U of O - ! and Eugene ! Rock 'n Roll History !! Memorabilia !!!  Indeed " The-Last-Time ! " for the Good Ol' Grateful Dead !! - in Eugene !!!  The Finest ! of G.D. & U of O Memories to Forever-Savor !!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
