    Grateful Dead Backstage Pass Puzzle : 1992 : " Complete ! " ( 2-Pieces / Passes ) " Skeletons ! ... Confederate Civil War Cannon !! " Puzzle !!! : March 5 & 6, 1992 ( 3/5/1992 & 3/6/1992 ) - Hampton Coliseum - Hampton, Virginia ( VA ) : Very-Rare !!!!!!
    The Incredible ! Reonegro-designed ' Skeleton ! ' Confederate C.S.A. Civil War Cannon ! Puzzle ... for the Last & Final Grateful Dead Shows Ever ! at the Hampton Coliseum - Two ( 2 ) Stealth Shows !! ... on the Grateful Dead '92 Spring Tour !!!
    Dead Fans !!!  Offered here is the ' Complete ! ' Grateful Dead Backstage Pass " Skeleton War Cannon !!! " Puzzle for the Last & Final ! Grateful Dead Shows ! at the Hampton Coliseum !! - on the 1992 Spring Tour !!!  This Reonegro-designed 2-piece only " Puzzle Pass " is one of the Coolest & Most-Hilarious ! G.D. Puzzle Passes ever made - at least in my opinion.  What do you say ?!  These three Civil War Confederate CSA Grey Coat dressed Skeletons ! look to be handling this War Cannon pretty darn well ... as one Skeleton is plugging his ears ! - another Skeleton is not ?! ... as it appears he wants to hear the Bang !!? -- and the third Skeleton of these 3-Zaney Wartime Musketeers ... well, he looks like the Commander ?, or maybe the General ! of the bunch -- and 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 ! ... also known as the " Spaceship Hampton ! " Hampton Coliseum !! -- as this is the '92 Spring 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 were ' sandwiched ' right between the Omni Shows in Atlanta ( 3/1,2,3/92 ) & the Cap Centre Shows in Maryland ( 3/8,9/92 ) - but, they were never announced by promoters in advance !  Due to large crowds, the ticketless, 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 word s... the G.D. Management did a pretty nice job with this one - effectively keeping away the riff-raft, but ... in the end - it was Still ! not enough.  After this 2-night stand, the Grateful Dead were banned from playing Hampton - and with the greatest regrets for all of the ' True Fans ' - and for 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 these were also the Two ( 2 ) Very-Last Grateful Dead Shows in 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 - it just makes me Smile !!! and think of all of those Grate ! times ... well over 25-Years ago now ?!?  Oh man, how time flies.  Well, take a nice look at the photos provided - and hopefully we are in agreement ?  That 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 Commander & General ' Skeleton ' here are watchin' - and they've got a Cannon ! ... propelled by " The Wheel " !!!  A Total ! Reonegro ! & Grateful Dead !! Classic !!! - and one of the Grate-est ! G.D. " Backstage Pass Puzzles " of All-Time ...  Enjoy !!!!!
