Grateful Dead ! ... & Griffin Art !! Fans !!! Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the April 5th, 1988 ( 4/5/88 ) Concert at the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut ( CT ) !! This Rare Backstage Pass is from the Huge !!! 3-Night Stand at the Hartford Civic Center ! on the '88 Spring Tour !! I mean who out there said that 1988 ' ain't got no heart ' ??! My recommendation is to acquire and listen to all-three ! of these Hartford Shows !! This was the final ( 3rd ) night of a musically-powerful & tight ! G.D. Hartford run ... as there is a common opinion among many Dead Fans that these 3/30 - 3/31 & 4/1, 1988 Shows were one of the best ' Show-Runs ' by the Band ! in the entire Calendar Year of 1988 !! And yes ... agreed - but put a little * in there, or at least an extension ... because you've just gotta give this run a shot. But wait, you were actually " There ! " - Right ? I hope, gosh do I hope. It should also be noted that this was the very-end ( R.I.P. !!? ) of the " Pre-Midi " ( Multi-Digital Interface Era ), as after this point - the Dead's sound forever changed from a technical set-up & audible perspective. In other words ... these were the final days of the pure ( & raw ! ) G.D. Rock 'n Roll ! sound that so well-signified " Early-80's Live-Dead ! ". And last but not least ... Ha ! - probably even most importantly fact ( more like definitely ... ) -- this Very-Rare ! ( Red / White ! ) Backstage Pass features the " Flying & Fighting ! ( Dueling !! ) Eyeballs " design from famed & talented S.F. Poster Artist Rick Griffin ! Or should I say much better ( & properly ! .. ) the ' One & Only ! ' Rick Griffin !!! So, if you are on the hunt for not only a way-cool & way-rare G.D. Pass - but also a piece of Rick's genius artwork ( one of the many ! ) -- then indeed You ! are in Luck !! right-here. Hey ! ... It's Your ! Lucky-Day !! Enjoy !!! Totally worthy of framing ... This " Grate ! " one !!! -- Enjoy !!!!!
