" Year of 1989 Grateful Dead !!!  I mean just think ... '89 Spring Tour ! - Summer Tour '89 !! - The Band's Last Album Ever ... " Built To Last " - and last, but most definitely not-least ... the Good Ol' Late-'80's Grateful Dead transforming into " The Warlocks ! " to lay down Mindblowing !! Shows inside the " Spaceship ! " - known to many Music Fans simply as ... the Hampton Coliseum !  Wow ... is-Right !!!  This was a 3-Show stand leading up to & including the 12/31/88 " New Year's " Show ... with this 12/28 Show being the 1st ! Show of this 3-Show run -- 12/28/1988 !  With ... the Very-Very-Cool ! & Cute !! Grateful Dead " Dancing Bear ! " Ticket Logo Design ... dating way-back in it's original Grateful Dead ' History ' -- back to the " Bear's Choice " Album Cover Art - released in 1973 !  Awesome ... for certain.  And, this Ticket is of course one of the Grateful Dead Tickets Services ( GDTS ) " Mailorder " ( Fancy - Glitter !! ) Tickets, instead of the standard run of the mill Bass, Ticketmaster, Fast Tixx, etc. type tickets - way-more common in the '70's, '80's & '90's Grateful Dead Touring-Years.  And ... as for this 12/28/88 Show ?! -- An Iko Iko Show-Opener ! ... So Yeah ! - as ' This ! ' Dancing Bear was-indeed Dancin' ! right out of the starting-gate !  Ha !!  And then ... it was back to Walkin' again - with some Walkin' Blues !! - Jack-A-Roe - All Over Now - Push - Memphis Blues - Bird Song - Jack Straw ... Set-Closer !  Just as the tale of the tape clearly reads ... so Amsesomely ! " 1988 " !!!  And then for Set II ??! ... it was indeed >>> China > Rider !!! time ! - for the Set II Opener !!  And, quite a Blistering ! one too, if I must say my own self ... but, then again - I always did kinda Live ! for my " China > Rider !!! " doses on Tour !  And ... Especially ! in Good Ol' Oak-Town !!!  Yes !!!!!  Estimated > He's Gone to follow, Very-Kindly ! into Drums / Space ... with a little Uncle John's Band ! comin' Straight ! at-cha !!  Then Miracle ! > Foolish Heart ! > Lovelight !!!  And again ... so-Awesomely ! " '88 " - and maybe even more importantly ... an early Taste ! of what '89 would shortly have to bring !  Which, as we all well know ... Huge !!! Live-Dead !!!!!  Baby Blue ! for the Encore here, my fellow Dead Fan Friends - and then it was on to Night # 2 !! > on 12/29/88 !!!  What a Big-League ! Night of 1988 Live-Dead ! here, for sure ...  As wow, were they on to something yet once-again ... Triumphant-Resurgence ! after " Triumphant " Resurgence !! ... with maybe-even - " The Best ! " Still ! yet to come.  These were Fine ! ... Fine !! ... Fine !!! Days, without any question - for the Fans !! -- & for the Band !!!  Just Awesome ...  Grate ! times, for certain ... & for All !!  Enjoy !!!!!

D
ead Fans !!!  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the December 3, 1990 ( 12/3/1990 ) Show at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California ( CA) ... on the 1990 Winter Tour ! -- the tail-end of the Monumental ! " 25th Anniversary " Tour ! of The Grateful Dead !!!  And ... as for this G.D. Pass itself - indeed one of the Neatest, and Rarest ! of the '90's Grateful Dead Passes !  This one is a design by the modern-age Grateful Dead Backstage Pass Artist ... Tony Reonegro !  And ... as you can see from the bright & vivid photos - this indeed is one of the ' earlier ' Cartoon ! Backstage Passes that Reonegro designed for the Grateful Dead !  Think how popular these became - and, almost-instantly ! in the form of Cartoon Backstage Puzzles for the G.D. !  In fact, I can only even think of one ( 1 ) ' Cartoon ' style G.D. Pass before this one, that Reonegro did for the Band ... and, that Pass is the Cartoon Guitar Player - made for the Raleigh, North Carolina Show on the 1990 Summer Tour ... 7/10/1990 !  I almost think that this might have been only the second ?!?  There was the 7/10/90 Raleigh Pass - this Tambourine Skeleton Pass ! - there was also the Tiki Puzzle ! prior ( on the Spring 1990 Tour ) - but, I wouldn't really consider that one to be of this ' Cartoon ' style.  Then, after this ... there was the Elf ! - the Snowmobile ! Puzzle - Santa Claus ! - the Toy Soldiers ! - and then ... it went on & on !  But, what's really cool ... is that this is one of the Early ! designs that must have really caught the eyes of the Band, GDP, and the powers that be.  So, the way I see it - this Pass & the Guitar Playing 7/10/90 Pass, and naturally ... Reonegro ! were all responsible for some seriously Cool ! G.D. ' Cartoon ' Backstage Passes - just right around the corner !  This one is Stellar !  With the Tambourine in full-effect ... hmmm, so, what G.D. ' Skeleton ' could this be -- I vote either Mickey ... or Donna Jean !  Ha !  Classic ...  A Bright ! Yellow border / background, with a glowing-Reddish interlocking G.D. Logo !  And, the " Dead " in Grateful Dead printed in a way-cool Teal Blue !!!  A Reonegro '90 Design, that is indeed one for the Ages ... and, it's for the Oakland Coliseum too !  One of my favorite places, from back in the day ... most-definitely !  And Plus, this was a China > Rider !!! night too - one, in fact that I still ! listen to often ! -- on Tape !!  Ha !  Classic ...  Enjoy !!!!!
