Dead Fans !!! Offered here is the Grateful Dead Backstage Pass " Skeleton War Cannon !!! " Puzzle Piece - Puzzle-Piece # 1 of only 2 !! for the ' Last & Final ' Grateful Dead Show at the Hampton Coliseum !! - on the 1992 Spring Tour ! This Reonegro Art Design Skeleton manned War Cannon ! " Puzzle Pass " is one of the Coolest ! & Most-Hilarious !! G.D. Puzzle Passes ever made - at least in my own opinion. What do you say ?!
These two Civil War Confederate CSA Grey Coat dressed Skeletons ! look to be handling this War Cannon pretty darn well
... as this Wartime ( or, more like G.D. Showtime ! ) Musketeer ( looks like he's the Commander ? - or maybe the General ! ) - he's Lighting the Fuse !!!!! Better duck for cover - and there's really no better a place to duck for-cover than inside the " Spaceship " itself ! ... also known as the Hampton Coliseum !! - as after all this is the '92 Spring Dead Tour ! we are talking about here ! How-Awesome !?! Seriously ... Well, in truth & fact - this G.D. Puzzle Pass here is actually pretty on the mark & accurate ! in it's History !! And why - you may ask ? Well ... on this Tour - these two Hampton Shows were pretty much " Shot out of a Cannon " !!! Literally !! Basically ... both of these Hampton Shows ( 3/5/1992 & 3/6/1992 ) were ' sandwiched ' right in between the Omni Shows ! in Atlanta ( 3/1/1992 > 3/2/1992 > 3/3/1992 ) & the Cap Centre Shows ! in Maryland ( 3/8/1992 > 3/9/1992 ) - but, they were never announced by promoters in advance ! Due to large Crowds - the Ticketless ( hoards ! ) - the growing ... out-of -hand ' Scene ' etc. the only-way the Band could book dates at Hampton was to be sneaky & stealthy about it ... keeping it on the way down-low. So, me & my Crew were mail ordering tickets back in the day - Hampton wasn't on the schedule ? ... and I don't think we even found out about its existence & reality until the Atlanta Shows ?!? So, in other words ... the G.D. Management did a pretty nice job with this one - effectively keeping away the riff-raff - but ... in the end - it was Still ! not enough. As, after this 2-night stand - the Grateful Dead were ' banned ' from playing Hampton - and with the greatest regrets for all of the True Dead Fans - and the Band too ... it never happened again. So, in essence ... this Skeleton Cannon Blast ! here on this Pass represents not only the Last / Final Grateful Dead Shows at the Hampton Coliseum !! ... but this March 6, 1992 ( 3/6/92 ) night here was actually the ' Very-Last ' Grateful Dead Show Ever ! in the Grate ! State of Virginia !! And for me, I actually used to live in VA - exactly during this time ... so in my mind - and really the minds of many G.D. Fans - this very-special Puzzle-Pass means Tons !! Some of it is unfortunately sad - with the ban & all ... and the Band never being able to come back and play. But, when I look at this Hilarious ! G.D. Puzzle-Pass Piece - it just makes me Smile !! now to think of all of those Grate ! times ... well-over 25-Years Ago now ?!? Wow ... time-flies. And, with this here 3/6/92 Pass ... well, 1-Piece down & 1 to go ! - as this was indeed only a 2-Piece Puzzle !! Two ( 2 ) Pieces ( 3/5/92 & 3/6/92 ) to make the whole darn G.D. Skeleton-manned ! " War Cannon " !!! So, take a nice look at the photos provided - and hopefully we are in agreement ? Get the ' other ' piece ... and then you bet - this G.D. Rock 'n Roll Beauty ! needs to be Framed !! Perfect to display in your Man or Woman Cave - or, as maybe I should more appropriately say ... your ' General's-Quarters ' - as you had better take cover because General ' Skeleton ' here is watchin' - and he's got the Fire to the Wick of this Cannon ! ... and yes ! - it is indeed ' propelled ' by " The Wheel " too ! - check it out !?!! A Total !! G.D. Classic !!! - and one of the Grate!-est & Funniest ! G.D. Backstage Pass " Puzzles " of All-Time ... Enjoy !!!!!
