    Description

    Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1985 : Rick Griffin Art ! : October 25, 1985 ( 10/25/85 : 10/25/1985 ) - Sportatorium - Hollywood, Florida ( FL ) : 1985 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : The Very-Rare ! Griffin " Aoxomoxoa ! " Style G.D. Pass - in Rare ' White ' !!!!!
    G.D. Fans!!  ... who Love any ! of the following, had better fall in for this Rare-Beauty! ... Rick Griffin Art ! - The Good Ol' ( Mid-Eighties ! ) Grateful Dead !! - and naturally too ... Fall Tour '85 !!!!!  Whoa !?!!  Just ' looking ' at this Pass makes me Smile ... Big-Time ! -- one of the Pure Heaters !! of the '85 Fall Tour leg ... on the Down-South portion !  My oh my Dead Fans, as offered here is a Rare ! one indeed - as this is the Vintage-Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the October 25, 1985 ( 10/25/1985 ) Show at the Sportatorium ! in Hollywood, Florida ( FL ) !!!  Or, just as Lou Reed like to once so-excellently say ... F.L.A. !!!  Awesome ...  Wow !  You bet Fans, as this is not only one of the Incredible ! Rick Griffin " Aoxomoxoa " style Pass designs, where a design portion of the 1969 Grateful Dead Album Aoxomoxoa was used as an official G.D. Backstage Pass !  But ... this is one of the Super-Rare ! ones with a ' White ' Border - that just looks so-clean & Cool ! with this Fabulous ! G.D. / Griffin Art design.  There were some other border-colors used during this Mid-'80's Era for this design ... Green, Pink, and others.  But, finding this one in with a White Border - is a pretty stout challenge, and ... especially here close to 35-Years after the Show !  This one is just a Beauty ! - as the Red lines Glow !! ... and the Yellow in the Sun ! Speaks !!!  And ... for the best part - Ha ! - " The Show " !!!  Just seeing ! this date makes me about weak in the knees, as Garcia's Silver-Face Fender Twin Reverb TONE !!! is nothing short of Nasty !!!!!  He gets enough pop & crunch to either Sink a Ship ... or, to Melt Your Mind !  So glassy, so pure, so edgy & moody, and just Terror ! Rock & Roll.  Garcia got some way-Hot tones in '81, '82, '83, '84, '86, '87, '88 ( kinda ), '89 & '90 ... but - this little period here in '85... he stacks the juice ! on the reverb knob ( 7 1/2 ? - I can't remember exactly ... ) and it is So ... " On !!! ".  Then, one step on that MXR Phase 100 -- and You ! are going to the Moon ! my Dear Friend ... Whoa !  In fact, if you're not familiar with this Show ... and hopefully that's-not the case !  Jerry is Feelin' it so-well, that he even calls Deal ! for the Show Opener !!!  And, opens Set II with Morning Dew !!!!!  And no, I'm not making that up - believe it ... Wow !  After Deal in I - Garcia & Weir trade on a Rooster, then the Iko Cooks !  And Jerry uncorks a Loser for the Mid-'80's ages !!!  And, the Band responds by completely Banging-out a speedy Let It Grow with some Serious-Attack !  Then, after Set II - Garcia drops the Dew !!! ... and then pretty much lets Bobby steer the ship !  Just check this-stuff out ... Dew ! - Estimated > Eyes > Drums > Space > Miracle > Black Peter > Sugar Mag !!!  With a Baby Blue Encore !  So, only Peter & Baby Blue left for Jerry ... but, it's ok - because it is indeed ... " Ace-Time ! " -- and he is Feelin' Feisty, and delivers too !!  Especially in Miracle !  So Impressive ... as was this whole little Southern Tour run >>> Pembroke Pines ( Hollywood ), FL > Tampa, FL > Atlanta, GA ( x 2 !! ) > Columbia, SC > and Richmond, VA ( x 2 !! ).  This '85 G.D. unit was one Lean, Mean Wrecking-Machine ... and it was indeed an Equal ! mix of just power-packed Passion !! ... & of course ... Tones !!!  " When I Die Bury Me Deep, Put Two Speakers On My Head, and Always Play ... '85 Dead !!! ".  Hah !!!  Thought you might like that little ' variation '.  Enjoy this G.D. / Griffin '85 Live-Dead Pass !!!!!  So-Incredibly-Awesome !!!!!!!
