    Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : Puzzle : 1992 : " Ben Franklin ! - Lightning !! = Electricity !!! Puzzle Pass " - ' Anchor ' Puzzle Piece Pass ! : Reonegro Art Design ! : '92 Spring Tour ! : March 18, 1992 ( 3/18/92 : 3/18/1992 ) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ( PA ) : 1992 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!
    Dead Fans !!! ... and maybe especially-those who always called the Philly Spectrum !! their Home Venue ! in the Mid-Atlantic !! - or, at least one of them - one of the many ! ... Ha !!  This one here, as the photos show - is a Big ! one for certain ... or maybe even better-said - a " Grate ! " one !!  This here is the ' Anchor ' ( the Main ! ) Puzzle-Piece to the 3-Piece Lightning / Electricity Pass ( Reonegro Art Design ! ) for the 1992 Spring Tour run at The Spectrum - in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ( PA) !!  As far as ' regionally-appropriate ' goes - I'm not sure you can really do any better than-this !  In fact ... this Spring Tour run at the Spectrum ( 3/16/92 > 3/17/92 > 3/18/92 ) was the one & only time that this rare & unique design was ever-used by the Band !  And this piece here ... my oh my - it is just Awesome !  Even though it wasn't revived yet by '92 ... this one always ! has me reminded of ' Johanna ' !  You know ...  " In the empty lot where the ladies play blind man's bluff with the key chain ... "  and/or " The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face - Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place ... ".  Well, that's just me - inside my music-filled-mind ... but let me see if you're with me on this one - this G.D. Pass Beauty has a little bit of " National Treasure ! " in it too ... yes, admittedly I got dragged to that one - and kind of liked it!   But wait !!! ... what I meant to say is that National Treasure has a little bit of this Pass in It !!  Ooops, as I got a little bit visa-versa-ed there.  Well, unlike many of the Puzzle-Pass Reonegro Art Designs from this '92 Era - this one looks way-cool as a stand alone !  And if you are lucky enough to capture the other two puzzle-pieces to this one ... then Golden !  The Cap Center Shows prior to this run were a 2-piece Puzzle ( Skeleton Fish & Fisherman ! ) - and the Hampton's before that were a 2-piece Puzzle too ( Civil War Skeletons ! & A Cannon ! ) - wait, I think I'm seeing a re-occurring theme here on this '92 Tour ... " Skeletons !!! ".  Yeah, you've just gotta love that.  Ahhh ... and I distinctly remember that there was another re-occurring theme to here in the Early-'90's ... and that was called Dark Star !!!!!  ( Thankfully ! )  Bring-it-on Garcia ! ... Yes !!!  Well, as for this Pass - I guess you really can't ask for any more than Ben Franklin ! - as the guy did invent Electricity - right ? ... so on this one - even the Grateful Dead themselves ! should be way-grateful for that happening & achievement.  That's all they need ( well, that & Meyer Sound too ! ) - because as Micky Hart once said somewhere ( I think ?? ) ... they will take care of the " Noise !!! ".  Awesome ... Enjoy !!!!!

    Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1984 : " G.D. Classic Car ! " - with ' Steal Your Face ! ' : Summer Tour '84 ! : June 23, 1984 ( 6/23/84 : 6/23/1984 ) : City Island - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ( PA ) : 1984 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!!
    Vintage Auto Pass ! for a Grateful Dead 1984 Summer Tour Show ! at the very-rarely played Venue - City Island !! ... in Harrisburg, PA !!!
    Grateful Dead Fans ! ... who dig both your Good Ol' ( 1984 ! ) Grateful Dead, your Vintage Classic Cars - and maybe Pennsylvania too !!  Well, offered here indeed is a Rare ! one - Whoa ! ... Harrisburg, PA !!!  This is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass fro the City Island Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ( PA ) - on the 1984 Summer Tour !!!  1984 Summer Tour touching-down in the Mid-Atlantic !  June 23rd, 1984 ( 6/23/1984 ) at City Island on '84 Summer Tour !!  The same-day as Robert Hunter's 43rd Birthday !!  The fortunate thing is that the Grateful Dead chose to start this fantastic ' Harrisburg ' tradition one year prior - with a 1-night stand on the '83 Summer Tour on June 22nd, 1983 ( 6/22/1983 ) !  But, the unfortunate thing is that this new ' tradition ' only had a life span of 1-Year & 1-Day ! - with this '84 Summer Tour stop in Harrisburg being the Very-Last & Final ! Dead Show in Harrisburg, PA for the Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!  So ... Harrisburg was definitely lucky to host the Grateful Dead - but, it only happened twice-ever ... and right-in this small Early/Mid-'80's Era - on 6/22/1983 ! & 6/23/1984 !!  And, as far as the Magnificent ! design itself on this Pass ... it is indeed one of the Vintage-Classic Automobile G.D. Passes designed & used by Grateful Dead Productions only in 1984 & 1985 !  And, maybe even more appropriately said ... 2-Years where The Boys brought The Heat !!!  Some of this here Fan's favorite G.D. time, place ... & Space ! for certain.  As I cannot Ever ! get enough of some of those Tones !!  Garcia & the Boss HM-2 !!!  The Japanese manufactured version too even - but yeah, naturally ...  Ha !  As after all - this is the ' Real ' King ! of Rock & Roll that we are talkin' about here ... Jerry G. !!!  Just a little inside joke - for all ye' fellow Guitar Players !  Classic ...  And Classic like this Hot-Rod " Steal Your Face ! " Car ! - as this Beauty ! even has a ' Steal Your Face ! ' painted right where it should be ... smack ' Dead ' on the side !!  And ... I mean come on - to think that the Grateful Dead even ever played Harrisburg ! ... that is just so Incredibly-Hot !!!  For a certain-kind of Dead Fan from - most-likely the ' Grate ! ' Mid-Atlantic !! ... as this one is a " Complete " G.D. Treasure !!!  The Grateful Dead in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania !!!  On the 1984 Summer Tour !!!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
