Grateful Dead Fans !! ... and of course too - Loyal Dead-Fans of that always-welcomed Rockin' & Rollin' ! ... Samson & Delilah !!!  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Passes ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the '89 Spring Tour Show at the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland, California on February 5, 1989 ( 2/5/1989 ) !!!  One of the Coolest !! G.D. Backstage Pass designs of the Magical ! Grateful Dead Late-'80's Era ... hands-down !  A ' Statuesque ' art design of the both Biblical Tale & Grateful Dead Song ... " Samson & Delilah " !!!  A Sunday-Sermon Live-Rocker ! that nearly Every ! Dead Fan waited for eagerly, and Treasured ! when it was delivered ... always chompin' at the bit to do some more Dancin' !!!  Ha !!  Well, as you can well-see here in the photos ... Samson has this Lion at his mercy indeed ... in this Man vs. Beast Test of Strength ! - a Battle to the End ! - with Samson ... obviously victorious.  As those G.D. Fan-favorite song lines go - swirling in our Dead Heads for decades ! ... " Samson Ripped that Beast, God Knows - He Killed Him There !! ... and the Bees Made Honey in the Lions Hair ! "  Whoa !!?!  Just typing this makes me want to go & fire up the Nak ... grabbing likely for 6/30/85 with Samson sandwiched recklessly & delightfully between Shakedown & Gimmie Some Lovin' !!!  A Mid-'80's Burner !!!  One of my All-Time Favorites there, as Garcia pretty much clearly-separates himself from anybody else who even ever tried played guitar !  Nasty ! & yet ... so-So-Beautiful !  Point being, that is the Power & Attack that Samson ! could & most often would deliver Live !!  A " go-to " Rocker for the Band, straight out of the G.D. Powerhouse Pocket !  The Band ripping-that-Beast ! just like the tale of Samson & the Lion ... Samson & Delilah !!!  And, as you probably have already noticed on this Pass too ... " Grateful Dead " is printed in one of the Greatest ! ' Fonts ' of all-time ... totally modern, yet still ! totally Mid/Late '80's G.D. !!!  A way nice-match indeed, at least to my eyes ... & one of my all-time favorites - for certain !  Wow ... and as far as this 2/5/89 Kaiser Show ?  Well, look at it like this ... if you weren't there - and haven't heard this '89 Spring Tour Show ??  My advise here ... is to change-that Fast !  This night at the Kaiser ! - opened up with a Touch > Franklin's > Stranger !!! ... and then a little bit of Little Red Rooster ! to follow.  Red-Hot ! G.D. - I'll tell you ... dang !  The Desolation Row ! that Bobby delivers ... is Super-Hot ! - right about in its prime live-rotation window too !  And, Set II ?  It's special !!  Cold Rain > Women Are Smarter ! to kick it off ... with a Beauty ! of a Standing On The Moon ( which was indeed the 1st ! time it was ever played Live !! ), into a Quality ! ( from an ' exploratory ' standpoint ) Playin' In the Band !!! >>> Drums / Space ! >>> into a Wonderfully-delivered ! I Will Take You Home ... by the one & only Brent !!  Then, it's time for yet a little more G.D. in that Late-'80's perfection-style ! >>> He's Gone ! > Miracle !! > Dew !!!  With even a Kickin' ! & Smokin' !! Johnny B. Goode Encore !!!  My goodness Garcia's chops & tone ! are Massive !! in 1989 - and, this indeed was just the beginning of this Magical ! G.D. Touring-Year !  It should also be noted too ... that the other 2-Shows of this 3-Show Kaiser run - are equally as Hot !  With lack of a better way to say it ... I'd recommend listening to All ! of this '89 Kaiser stand - and, rest-assured that your ears will soon be asking you to go back to it again !  What a Hot ! period for that Good Ol' " Late-1980's ! " Grateful Dead !!!  Well hey, and you had better look out for Samson too ! -- and if you do both cross-paths with him someday ... my advice would be to get on his good-side fast !  And, especially if you're a Lion !! ... Ha !!!  Enjoy this Rare ! & Awesome !! G.D. Rock 'n Roll Treasure !!!!!

Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1991 : Stanley Mouse Art Design !! : Egypt '78 ! - " Guitar Playing Skeletons !!! " : Summer Tour '91 ! : June 1, 1991 ( 6/1/91 : 6/1/1991 ) - L.A. Memorial Coliseum - Los Angeles, California ( CA ) : 1991 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!
Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the June 1, 1991 ( 6/1/1991 ) Show at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California !!!  And Whoa !! ... as what an Incredible ! G.D. Backstage I'm Grateful ! to offer here my fellow Dead Fans - and as I'm sure you're already well-aware ... this  G.D. Art-Masterpiece ! is by the Mouse ! himself - Stanley Mouse, that is.  The One & Only !!  I assume you are familiar with Mouse's " Egypt '78 "  Artwork used on the Official Program, T-Shirt, Pyramid, etc.. - pretty much everywhere possible for the Grateful Dead Family's Legendary! "Big Trip!" to Egypt in September 1978.  Well, the original Mouse design ( only 13-Years old at the time - way back in '91 ) ... included Mouse-esque " Characters " of each stage-position of the band members - there were " Drummers " ( B.K. & Mick ) ... a " Piano Player " ( Keith ) ... a " Singer " ( Donna-Jean ) ... and three " String-Players " ... ( Phil - Bobby & Jerry ! ).  So check out the photos of this beautiful Blue & Yellow G.D. Backstage Pass ... and you will see the " Mouse Art Images " of Phil Lesh - Bob Weir & Jerry Garcia !!! ... on a Los Angeles, California ! Pass even !!!!!  And as you will see - everyone has the same-size " Axe " - as Mouse didn't see the need to give Phil a bigger " Bass " Guitar.  Ha !  When actually seeing them all-together - you can see how it definitely would have thrown the images apart with a bit with unbalance - as there is a definite ' equilibrium ' in having the images of each Band Position the same size - the G.D. " String-Section " in Synchronicity ! ... that's what we like !!  This Pass was only used a very-few times by the Grateful Dead ... mostly in the Late-'80's / Early-'90's ( 1987 - 1988 - 1991, etc. ) - and even on a " Blank " Pass one time too in the '90's - which was pretty-cool as well.  If you're the type of G.D. Fan that only collects the Rarest ! - Coolest !! - and The-Best ! ... well, this Pass might indeed Definitely ! be All-You !!  Certainly one of my All-Time G.D. / Mouse ! Favorites !!  Hail to the Mouse !!! ... and The Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!!!! -- Enjoy !!!
