And, for a certain type of Grateful Dead Fan, there really can't be any ! cooler of a Grateful Dead Pass ! ... and that's a Dead Fan that Loves ! to, or even Lives-to !! - Ride !!!  Or, at least someone who can Truly ! appreciate a Real-Nice Harley ! when they see one !  Just like Bobby Weir said himself as his Hell In A Bucket character was " Chargin' His Chopper ! " ... " I may be Goin' to Hell in a Bucket !! - but at Least I'm Enjoyin' the Ride !!! ".  Ride, Ride ! - Ride !!!!! ... Hah !  Well, I most definitely agree there.  The photos of this Pass pretty much speak for themselves, as this one is indeed a Bright & Bold ' Red ! ' Dead Pass, not only featuring a vintage Harley Davidson Chopper ! - with a Stanley Mouse Lightning-Rose ! Emblem on the side ! ... but, also featuring the  G.D. " Bertha " Skull & Roses ! image right-above - right between ' Grateful ' and ' Dead ' !  No better-place for that, right ?  The Quintessential ! Stanley Mouse & Alton Kelley design which was 1st seen on the infamous FD-26 Poster Art - designed in 1966 !  Or, the very 1st ' sighting ' of Grateful Dead Bertha - if I may.  And of course too ... this is the Official G.D. " Backstage Pass " for The Knick ! in Albany - on the '93 Spring Tour !!!  There have only been a few different " Motorcycle " Backstage Pass designs in Grateful Dead History - all in the Mid-1980's / Early 1990's.  And this design here is indeed one of the Best !  Another that comes to mind was a Pass which actually featured Steve Parrish ! actually ' Riding ' his Chopper !! - or hey, as I should properly say ... " Chargin' It " !!!  Yeah !!  Way-cool, as you really can't beat That !for a  Good Ol' Grateful Dead Backstage Pass design, right ?  That one was used in '85 for G.D. Shows in both Worcester, Mass. !  and Pittsburgh, PA !  But this one here ... for a little Albany New York - ' Dozin' at The Knick ! ' - on Spring Tour '93 !!!  This one is just a Total-Treasure ! ... and an Amazing !! piece of 25 Year-Old ! Rock & Roll History !! where G.D. !! meets H-D !!! ... Right-On !!!!!
And with a Backstage Pass like this one ? ... well, you bet they played a Truckin' ! at this Show !! - plus, a High Time !!! & Deal !! - and also ... a Smokin' !! Scarlet > Fire !!!  Wow, right ?  Right-On ! - Ride-On !!! ... & Enjoy !!!!!

Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1993 : " Mexican Hat Dance ! ... Dancing Skeletons !!! " : Spring Tour '93 ! : April 5, 1993 ( 4/5/93 : 4/5/1993 ) - Nassau Coliseum - Uniondale, New York ( NY ) : 1993 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Blank ( No Printed-Date ) Pass with Vintage-Original 1993 GDP " Tour-Marking " Date ! : " 4-5-93 NC " - ( 4/5/93 Nassau Coliseum ! ) : Very-Rare !!!
Grateful Dead Fans !! who Love to Dance !!! - and always used to dig their Red-Hot Dead ! while Dancin' at ... Nassau !!!  Offered here is the Very-Rare ! Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead 1993 Spring Tour Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) issued for the April 5, 1993 ( 4/5/1993 ) Show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York ( NY ) !!!  And, as the photos nicely show ... this is the Rare & Awesome ! " Mexican Hat Dancing Dancin' Skeletons " Pass !! - GDP issued for the Last / Final night of this 5-Show '93 Spring Tour G.D. stand - at Nassau !!!
Wow, what a Pass-design ! here my fellow Dead Fans ... as "Arrriba !! " - I say.  I mean check this one out - as it's a total & complete Dancing-Skeletons " Mexican Hat Dance " scene !  Quite perfect for any Cinco De Mayo event - Road Trip in the Micro-Bus while crossing the border into Tijuana, and naturally ... The Good Ol' Grateful Dead !! - Rockin' Out Nassau !!!  This Art design is just Killer !  I mean check out the " stripes " in the background - as they almost look like my favorite Mexican Blanket which I own ( have owned forever ) & surely treasure !  A lot of thought went into this fine design - no doubt ... as the image is bright - vivid & eye-catching - with great - or should I say Grate ! attention to detail ... in Bright Orange ! & Blue !!  I mean where's the Tequila !?!!  I'll never understand why the Grateful Dead didn't ever pull off a Mexico Show ? - but, if they would've -- I'd would have definitely found a way to make it there - no doubt.  You know, I'm not sure we can come even close to calling this one the " Mexicali Blues " - as there's far too much fun going on here in this scene ... well wait, then again - maybe a scene from the ' beginning ' of the song ?  Ha !  To my eye ... this Pass is definitely a very-special one ... and maybe the Dead thought so two - as on this 4/5/93 Night - Nassau got Hammered ! with the G.L.O.R.I.A. !!!  Wow !!! ... a tune the Grateful Dead only-played less than 15-times - Ever !  I was lucky enough to see two ( 2 ) of these in my " Dead Touring Career " - and believe me ... both ! times - I was Dancin' !!!  And too ...
as the photos show - this one is Definitely ! one for the Collector of the Rare & Unique ... of either Grateful Dead Backstage Passes - Credentials - etc. - or, even just Grateful Dead Art !  Because this is indeed one of the 1990's GDP surplus Passes ( Blank / " No Date " Pass ) without any Venue - City / State - Date - etc. ... and it was actually Date ( 4-5-93 ) & Show ( NC ) marked ! by the Grateful Dead Productions Staff !!  These Passes were sparingly used at the discretion of GDP whenever needed ... if extras were needed - if pre-printed ' dated ' Passes ran out - or, if someone lost their  Pass ( oh no !!! ) - so, when emergency called - no matter what it was ... you could always count on this surplus of No-Date Passes to get the job done !  But, in this case - and to my own personal knowledge ... this Pass version ( GDP ' marked ' ) was indeed the ' Only ! ' Pass even used for this 4/5/93 Nassau Show !!!  Most likely because this Nassau run was originally-scheduled for just 4/1/1993 & 4/2/1993 - but, the Dead's Touring Popularity in 1993 ( and, especially in New York ! ) was so-overwhelming ... that the Band actually went ahead & added 3-more-Shows ! >>> on 3/31/1993 - 4/4/1993 - 4/5/1993 !!!  So, these Shows were probably added ' after ' GDP pre-printed the Backstage Passes !  So, point being ... while " Printed " Show Dates were issued for the 4/1/93 & 4/2/93 Shows ... the 3/31/93 - 4/4/93 - 4/5/93 Passes were all issued with Blank / No-Date Passes - which were All ! GDP marked with Show Dates ! ... in black sharpie marker !  Talk about labor-intensive, but essential ! - making Deadheads Real-Happy ! ... " Backstage " !!  So yeah ... check out the Setlist on This-Show ! too ... Music Never Stopped ! > Deal !! - I Fought the Law ( Clash style !! ) - Miracle ! ... and last, but most-definitely not least ..... G.L.O.R.I.A. !!!  A Huge ! ending to a Massive ! 5-Show Grateful Dead '93 Spring Tour run ( 3/31/1993 through 4/5/1993 ) - at Nassau !!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
