20th Anniversary Rag
Just like Grandma Moses
Just like Auld Lang Syne
Play the change, however strange
And get it right this time!
It's been a hard haul
20 as the crow flies,
When your back's to the wall
Got to play it as it lies
Let there be music, dance and the beating of drum
Drop whatever you're doing and come on the run
Twenty years later the groove is just starting to click
It's all variations on some impossible lick
Come hear Uncle John's Band
Playing to the years
Come along or go alone
Like an avalanche or a rolling stone
Wave that flag!
Wave it while you can
Long as you keep coming
You got a band
Thanks for 20 years of being
an audience which is the envy
of every other rock and roll band alive,
F***'em if they can't take a joke!
Write if you get work.
Spare change?
Don't touch that plug!

This over 35-Year Old ! Grateful Dead 1985 Twenty Years So Far ( featuring Rick Griffin Patriot with Guitar Art ! ) 20th Anniversary Rag ( with Robert Hunter G.D. Poem ! ) Handbill Flyer is in overall Good condition.  Item has small/light indentations all throughout, and a few assorted very-light marks - yet no folding creases, or anything of that nature.  Colors are still ultra-bright, and the paper is of the ' smooth ' nature.  Never ' folded ', ' creased ' or anything harsh like that - and stored flat & protected in plastic for decades.  Numerous indentations all throughout the surface - thoroughly (too many to count) - please see the close-up photos provided.  Good condition overall - and close to Very Good in the eyes of some I suppose, considering the age of this item ( 35-Years ) - yet still an excellent-candidate for professional framing ( on either side ! ), if so desired.  Size dimension is approximately 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Please see all photos provided.  Photos included are of the actual item you will receive.  1985 ! ... " Twenty Years So Far !!! " - Rick Griffin, Robert Hunter ... & The Grateful Dead !!!

Autzen Stadium opened on September 23, 1967, and from then on - was & is the Proud-Home of The University Of Oregon Ducks Football Team ... best known as The Fighting Ducks ! and/or - The Quack Attack ! too ... depending on which Fan you ask.  However ! even-though Autzen was " Fully-Operational " ( to use proper Star Wars ! terminology ) in the Fall of 1967 ... it still did not behold the vital duty of featuring the Good Ol' Grateful Dead !?!!! until ... This-Show ! on June 25, 1978 !!!  As during-that-time, ' Eugene-wise ' ... the Band played in 1968 inside the EMU ( U of O ) Ballroom ( Wow ! ) ... 1969, 1978 ( January ) at McArthur Court ( aka.

Shows once again at Mighty Autzen !! - in both ! 1993 & 1994 in Magical ! multi-night fashion.  Point being ... this here Grateful Dead / Santana ( with Eddie Money - The Outlaws - and even Eugene Merry Prankster Ken Babbs !
