    Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1995 : Marvel Comics " Mr. Big !!! " - from the ' Spider-Man !! ' Comics Series ! : Summer Tour '95 ! : May 26, 1995 ( 5/26/95 : 5/26/1995 ) - Seattle Memorial Stadium - Seattle, Washington ( WA ) : Mr. Big TM & (c) 1995 Marvel Comics / 1995 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!!
    Mr. Big !!! from the Marvel Comics Spider-Man Series !! ... on a G.D. Backstage Pass ! - '95 Summer Tour - the ' Last & Final ' Grateful Dead Tour !! ... & the ' Last & Final ' Grateful Dead Show " Ever ! " in Seattle !!!!!
    Grateful Dead Fans !!! - Mr. Big ! Fans !! ... & " Seattle-Dead !!! " Fans !!  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the May 26, 1995 ( 5/26/95 ) Grateful Dead Summer Tour Show at Seattle Memorial Stadium ! in Seattle, Washington ( WA) !!  The ' Last & Final ' Grateful Dead Show ever-played in Seattle ! ... featuring Mr. Big !!! - from the Marvel Comics Spider-Man !! Series.  Dead Fans !!?!!  Oh my, do I sure hope that you were there - and that you saw this-one.  Because in the opinions of many I've spoken to over the years & years - and yes, as I too concur - this was the Very-Last " Great !!! " Show played by the Grateful Dead.  Hey, totally no offense to anyone who disagrees - and as we all know, opinions are ..... - w ell, we'll just leave it at that !  Ha !  But seriously ... this was a Big-Day ! for the G.D. !! - it was a " Rex Foundation Benefit " Show !! - and the Boys Delivered !!!  And had some serious Fun ! doing so too - may I rightfully add.  They came out - clearly looking to play-hard for the Fiery ! West Coast Crowd ( I know, but really - it was an Intense-Crowd that day ! ) - then things got Hot ! ... Musically !! - and they ultimately ended up playing for the Loyal Dead Fan Faithful ! ... & Themselves !! - and we were all the beneficiaries of this late-period G.D. Magic !!!  And, it all happened just where you would think that it might - when checking out the set list ... as here were the Power-Points ! - aka. The Goods !! >>> Set I : Help > Slip ! > Franklin's !!! - and Set II : A Mammoth ! Scarlet > Fire !!! > Playin' > Uncle Johns ! > Drums > Space ... then last but not least Stella Blue > a Spirited !! Good Lovin'.  Seriously, if someone out there knows of any better ' Post ' 5/26/95 Dead Show - please let me know, because I'm totally-game to hear it.  I'll never forget how glad we all were to be a part of this one - as it was clearly no-secret that this Show was indeed a very-special one.  And heck, this was only the Band's 2nd trip to Seattle ( '94 ) - and before that ... you had to look back to 1983 !!  Very-Likely ! having something to do with this Show's Magic !!  This was the 3rd-Show - of a well-played 3-Show run - and this one ... was even for " Rex !! ".  So yeah ! ... it's only fitting that Mr. Big ! is on this one - because this was a Big-G.D. Show !! ... even-in '95 !  Mr. Big ( aka. Frederick Foswell ) was a tricky Mob-Boss ! from the Spider-Man !! Series - and he was the front-man for Wilson Fisk's Enforcers !  And as you may likely know ... he used Spider-Man to take care of his dirty work !  And just like the front of this Grate ! G.D. Pass shows ... he is easily-recognizable by his Fancy-Hat & Business-Suits too !  Definitely one of the Cooler ! Marvel Passes made for Dead Shows - as the Art-Design on this one has Mr. Big ! looking like a Logo !!  He'd probably really-like that, right ?  Ha !  Well the fact is ... this Mr. Big Show ! was Big !! and fortunately for me - and hopefully You ! too ... " We " were up there in the front - and stand here today as the living-proof !  I was right between Garcia & Weir - just short of the rail ... and Phil ! was hamming-it-up with the Crowd ! - for much of the night !!  Everybody was having some serious Fun ! on this Amazing ! " Seattle-Dead " Day !! - even Mr. Big ! too !! ... but he's still too-smooth to even crack a Smile ?!?  But during that Good Lovin' ??  Ahhh ... maybe enough to make even Mr. Big break !?!  Cheers to Rex !!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
