    Grateful Dead Fans !!!  Whoa !?!?!?!!!  Too-Much ... Magic Bus !  Ha !  Oooops, well - I don't want to confuse The Who - with The Good Ol' Grateful Dead here by any means ... but, I just can't help think it in my Dead-Head too - when I glance about this Absolutely-Amazing ! Grateful Dead & Reonegro ! Rock & Roll Treasure !!!  Hopefully you All ! are already familiar with this 1993 Spring Tour Backstage Pass " Puzzle " designed by Tony Reonegro for the Grateful Dead ... best known as the - Ahhhhh... the " Hippie Magic Bus " !!!!!  Wow !  This one was just completely groundbreaking - and an instant Beyond-Classic ! in the Rock 'n Roll Touring World at the time - over 20-Years Ago ! ... and today, it is indeed a thing of complete Legend !  With the exception of the 20-Piece " Train " Puzzle - these 8-Piece ! Puzzles were the Largest ( & Only ! ) ' Connectable ' Official Backstage Pass Credentials in all of Rock & Roll !!!  Eight ( 8 ) Official Grateful Dead Backstage Passes made in the form of a colorful & creative " Puzzle Pieces " which fit together perfectly to make a ' Complete ' Puzzle ! ... and, in the case of this Puzzle -- a Driving-Out-Of-Control ( & obviously on Dead Tour ! ) Skeleton Hippie Bus ... that looks like a Way-Colorful version of the Quintessential Dead-Touring VW Microbus !!!!!  You know, a little 1969 - still in 1993 !!!  I don't even know if Woodstock itself could handle this Wacky & Zaney Crew ?!?  Awesome ...  All of the Grateful Dead Puzzle-Pieces are in pretty high-demand really, and especially the Puzzle Pieces for this G.D. Hippie Bus !!!  And here, there is no messing around hunting down any of these difficult to find - and/or impossible ! to find - G.D. Hippie Bus Puzzle Pieces ... as here - you have all Eight ( 8 ) Together ! --- the ' Complete ' VW Micro-Hippie & Magic Bus !!!  And ... as for the design itself -- this Reonegro G.D. Masterpiece ! is Super-Duper ! Silly-Awesome !!!!!  I mean check out some of these Skeletons in Action ! ... everybody on board looks to be doing what they do Best !  Their own individual Hippie-acts, yet ... still collectively & cooperatively ! dealing with the quite dire-looking situation at hand !  Which, looks to me - much like a VW Microbus that may have lost its Breaks ! on the wrong high hill ?!?  Oooooops, some seriously likely " Trouble Ahead ! " ... but, for some reason - it doesn't really seem to bother the one Spaced-Out ! looking Skeleton on the back of the Bus Roof ! ... you know, the one with a Chicken-Hat right on his Dead-Head !!!  Hah !  Wow, I mean the up-right Bass Player seems pretty Mellow-Yellow too ... but, the Crazy-Driver ! - and the Skeleton riding Shotgun in this scene ? ... they look to have their Boney-Hands nice & Full !  Ahhhh, but - you know as well as me ... as this Skeleton Crew will Always ! make it to the next Dead Show.  I mean hey, in the Dead Touring days - I saw more VW Microbusses on the sides of the Highways then I could Ever ! count.  And, if time allowed too ... you bet me & my Crew would lend a helping hand !  I even picked up a VW Bus-Down Hitchhiker ! one time in California - on the way to a Shoreline Show !  I figured hey, he looks cool ... is wearing a Tie Dye - and after all ... this is the Bay Area - and the Band ! is playing tonight at Shoreline !!!  I don't know if I would still do it today ?  But, on the way to Shoreline - in May of '93 !??  You bet !  Good deed for the day ... Check !  Well, I myself can Never ! get enough of the actual ' Driver ' of this Crazy Bu s... and - in fact, I think his reaction is very similar to mine - when I 1st saw that the Grateful Dead had Reonegro design This ! Puzzle !!!  So incredibly Killer ! ... and obviously, one of the Grate-est ! of All-Time !!!  A Grateful Dead Puzzle - that really could not get any Cooler ! ... or, any more Hilarious !!!  This one is just begging to be Framed ! - and, as the photos very well show ... it will frame-up Beautifully !  And then, Your ! Hippie Magic Bus !!! will indeed be the talk of town - among your Friends !  In fact, this one is so incredibly Rad ! ... that you might want to frame it for your Office !!  I mean who needs the Diploma sitting there, when you could instead show off This !  Well, that is naturally ... if you work somewhere Cool ! ... Hah !!  And, I think we could all very easily agree that this Vivid, Bright & Colorful Hippie Bus most-definitely needs Shown-Off ! --- I say " Hippie Bus Your Face ! " Ha !!  After all, this is the Greatest Live Rock 'n Roll Band in the World ! that we are talking about here ... and, depending on who you talk to - the Greatest Band of all-time too !  Me ? ... I'm on that Bus !!!  " The Bus Came By, And I Got On ... That's Where It All Began " !!!!!  Completely a Classic ...  Enjoy !!!!!!!!
