A Vintage Original ! ... Unused, Untorn Full ! Grateful Dead Ticket for the 2nd Show of 1993 ! - Night # 2 ( of 3 ) of the Oakland Coliseum " Chinese New Year ! - Year of the Rooster !! " run of Oakland Shows !!!
G.D. Fans !!!  Now ... don't you just wish that it was still ! '93 - it was 1/25/93 - that you were in Oakland ! ... and you could get this-one Ripped ! to see the Band Play !!!  But, you know ... always remember to ask the Usher at the Gate to ... " Tear it Nice & Low " !  Ha !!  Well ... no Time-Machine here unfortunately - for transport to '93 - to Oaktown ! ... but, this is indeed a Nice & Rare ! - Unused ! & Full !! Ticket to the 1/25/93 Oakland Coliseum Show.  And ... this in fact, was only the 2nd Show of 1993 !  Which, of course brings back some real-nice memories ... because the word of choice in the Coliseum & in the lot too was ... Jerry Sounds ! & Looks ! Great !!  The Band " took-off " the Fall Tour in '92 - as you might well remember - after a Denver - Arizona Winter '92 stand ... they found themselves back in Oaktown !  And ... so did I !  They played 11-Shows ! at the Coliseum between December & February, and got in not only a strong December / Winter stand of 5 ! -- but, also delivered " Chinese New Year ! " & " Mardi Gras ! " stands !!  And, this Ticket here is from the 2nd night of this " Chinese New Year - Year of the Rooster ! " run.  I caught 5 of these 11 Shows - and, was & still am go-glad that I did ... because the Band was playing Fresh ! - and good things were happening indeed.  In fact, 12/16/92 was so ' On ! ' that Dick Latvala himself even used it as a " Dick's Picks " Series release !  And, a lot of Fans feel that the 2/23/93 Show was actually one of the Hottest ! Shows from that point on ... with Ornette Coleman showing up to open - play & even Jam ! ' with ' Garcia !! - on the Wolf !!!  Yep, I was in there to see that ... So-Thankfully !  But, this Ticket to me represents a Real-Nice Time in the G.D. World - because they were indeed ' Back ' !  And this Show marks the front end of yet another little Live Rock & Roll G.D. Renaissance - that arguably went all the way through the Chinese New Year run & the Year of the Dog ! run in the following 1994 year.  And, to my ears - this " Dead-Energy ! " even went-on to Autzen too ... all the way through June '94 !  Those " Moments of Magic ! " - you know ? ... you just sometimes had to be on your toes to catch'em - but, they were delivered indeed - and were delivered often.  So ... here you go !  Even with a Good Ol' " Dancin' Bear ! " on this '93 G.D. Beauty !! ... Enjoy !!!

Jerry Garcia Backstage Pass : Jerry Garcia Band :  1981 : Halloween 1981 !!! : Fall Tour '81 ! : October 31, 1981 ( 10/31/81 : 10/31/1981 ) - Tower Theater - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania ( PA ) : 1981 Jerry Garcia / Electric Factory Concerts ( JG / EFC ) : Very-Rare !!!
J.G.B. Fans !!! who dig the Really-Rare !!  And, naturally too ... the Always-Fantastic ! Dead Head Friendly ' Holiday ' of Halloween !!!  Wow ... well, this I can say for certain - on " Halloween 1981 " there was Absolutely ! no-better place to be in the entire land - then in the Tower Theater !!!  Garcia only played a handful of " Halloween ! " Nights with the J.G.B. - and with his other prior side projects ( Garcia & Sauders - Legion Of Mary - etc. ) - and of course, a few with the Good Ol' Grateful Dead ! too.  But, if you caught Jerry on Halloween ! with any of his side projects - well, very nice going indeed ... as in fact, your only chances were in 1974 & 1975, 1981 ! - 1986 through 1989 ! - 1992 & 1993 !  So ... yeah - only Nine ( 9 ) Chances Ever ! to see Garcia on Halloween !! - not with the Grateful Dead - that is, naturally ...  And, I am sure glad that I myself had that fine-honor !  But, I must say ... from a Music perspective ?  Well, everyone has their favorites - and tastes of era, etc. indeed ... but to me personally ?  This - or, as I should more properly say ' These ' Two ( 2 ) Shows ( Early & Late Shows ) at the Tower in PA ... were arguably the Hottest !!! of them all.  I mean hey, after-all ... this is '81 J.G.B. that we are talking about here - and, quite frankly ... when Garcia wanted to turn up the Heat ! - and Scorch-It ?! ... Garcia Turned Up the Heat & Scorched !!! It !!!!!  Big-Time ...  This 10/31/81 Show(s) at the Towers was an Early & Late Show scenario - somewhat common in this Era, but ... with the Garcia Band ?!  This even better yet ... meant that you got to hear All !!! the goods - as they were spread very-nicely between the Two-Shows ... I mean basically, if you went to both !! - then you're hearing close to 75%+ of the J.G.B arsenal - that they were delivering on this '81 Fall Tour !!!  A Red-Hot ! East Coast swing - and this 10/31/81 Magic ! actually kicked-off the Start ! of this 14 Venue J.G.B. Tour !!!  So, yep ... you guessed it - Jerry & Co. were Fresh !! ... and Smokin' !!!  I acquired the released portion of this 10/31/81 Show - way-way back in the analog days, and then... at sometime in the mid-'90's - was even lucky enough to staff-up to the tasty DAT Magic that also circulated, but ... not so widely, obviously.  And, quite frankly these Shows just Cook !!! - and, I'm not really sure if it was a Halloween-vibe thing - or - if it was just the ' Tour Opener ' !  But ... the J.G.B. just comes out Swinging !!!  And, they don't stop until the Sugaree ! gets played ... and, as The Encore !!!  This '81 J.G.B. unit was one of the Hottest ! Garcia-Band units there ever was ... with Jerry - John Kahn - Melvin Seals - Daoud Shaw ( Drums ) - Jimmy Warren ( Electric Piano & Clavinet ) - and both ! Essra Mohawk & Liz Stires on dual Vocals !  Plus ... this is '81 Garcia on Guitar ! - which, at least to my ears ... is some of the Hottest ! of All-Time - in the J.G.B. format.  And, as far as the material ?  Wow ... just everything that Every ! Garcia Band lover would want to hear - just check out this stuff ... and the order-too ! >>>  Sweet It Is - TLEO - Mission - Love in the Afternoon - Mystery Train - 2nd That Emotion ... Don't Let Go - Russian Lullaby - Knockin' - Prudence - Tangled Up ... Sweet It It - Catfish John - That's What Love Will Make You Do - Simple Twist - Knockin' - Roadrunner - Deal - Tangled Up ... Way You Do - TLEO - Valerie - Melody - Russain Lullaby - Dixie > Prudence ... Sugaree !  Wow ...  Get your ears on this action - for certain !!  And, of course ... ' The ' Backstage Pass too - which is now darn-near 40-Years Old ?!?  Man, oh man ... There were indeed many ! a " Happy Halloweens " for the Garcia Band Faithful - and this one here is undoubtedly ... right up there at the Very-Top !  1981 Fall Tour where the Master ! himself - could really do no-wrong on that Tiger ! fret board !!  Thunder, Lightning ... and Garcia !!!  Now how's that for a little '81 " Trick or Treat !?! " ... Enjoy !!!!!
