The
' Quintessential ' Early-'80s ... 1982 ! Tour Shirt Art Design by Rick Griffin !
on a G.D. Backstage Pass !! - Uncle Sam " Smokin' ! " Skeleton with Wings !! ... Fall
Tour '82 ! in the Carrierdome !! - at Syracuse University !!!
Grateful
Dead Fans !!! ... and quite possibly too - those who have, or maybe even
are ! no-stranger to Grate ! Times at Syracuse U. !!! - and
naturally too ... All ! Rick Griffin Art Fans !! Just a hair-early for the Gait Brothers ! though - as there Lacrosse Glory ! was still yet to come ... leaving Plenty ! of room for the Good Ol' Early-'80's ! Grateful Dead !! ... at " Cuse " !!! Ha ! And, on that-note - offered
here indeed is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage
Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the September 24, 1982 ( 9/24/82 ) Show at the Carrierdome ! at Syracuse University !! - in Syracuse, New York ( NY ) !!! And as you
can very-well see from the photos provided ... this-one is All ! Rick Griffin !!!
The One & Only ! Rick Griffin, that is - as there is no other Fillmore Poster artist just quite-like him ! Well, and if you Toured in '82 - the '80's - or maybe-even ? the '90's - then you will be well-aware of this Fantastic ! " Uncle Sam Smokin' ! Skeleton Winged-Skull ! " Art Design !! As this was definitely " The ! " Official GDP T-Shirt to have ! - from this Amazing ! 1982 Touring-Year of the Grateful Dead ! I myself always think of two main things when it comes to '82
Live Dead - firstly, Garcia's tone & fret-board attack ! As this
was a totally transitional period - that really started in '81 where
Jerry got both quicker & heavier ! I showed one of my Friends the 3/28/81 video not too long ago ( with The
Who ! ) - and my Buddy's comment was a True-Classic ! on that day ... and I'll never-ever forget it ... " Wow
man, Jerry's almost playing-Metal ?!? ". You-Betcha ! he was !! Totally-true in so many ways - as during certain jam-points & ascensions - this was a " Collective " beefed-up Grateful Dead Live - with some Serious-Attack ! & Pure-Muscle !! And Secondly ... these were the early-days of the true emergence of the '80's-esque Bobby Weir !! that many Fans love & live for ! Much vocal improv - that some fans cherished, and other fans, well ... you know - Hah !! I mean let's just put it this-way - as I mean how-else - would you even put it ?! It's 1982 - like what ? now well-over 40-years-ago ? ... the time is Right ! for the Grateful Dead '82 Fall Tour - and not only are you catching
it in New York ! ... but you're even doing it at Syracuse U. !!!
Dang ... I mean where is that " Time-Machine " !?!?! ... Pre-Gaits too !!? Ha ! And, on a more ' serious ' note ( kinda ... ) - this 9/24/82 Show is actually " The-Last " Grateful Dead " East Coast " Show of the Entire 1982 G.D. Touring-Year ! So, in essence ... a good listen to this Show - will really dial you in on the overall ' culmination ' of just exactly wear 1982 took out beloved Grateful Dead ! This is a Smoker ! of a Show - and is really so-representative of what they were collectively capable of when it came to the - Emotional-playing ... The Heat ! ... The Jams ! ... The Interplay ! ... The Song Selection & Rotation ! ... and, most of all really ... The Tempos ! & The Tones !! Point really being ... you could just so-tell the Grateful Dead were Really ! still heading Huge-Places ! by the Sheer & Consistent Magic !! in a Show like on this 9/24/1982 Syracuse Night. And, heck ... they only just played " Touch Of Grey " Live for the 1st-Time-Ever ! at the Cap Centre in The MD ! just less than 10-days prior ... on 9/15/1982. So ... you can see my point. And, if you don't - just go & through in a " Dead Video " from say ... the 1983 - 1984 - 1985 - 1986 - 1987 - 1988 - 1989 - or 1990 Tours !!! As there indeed is " The Proof ! ". Pure " G.D. Magic !!! " that didn't just extend ' into ' the 1980's ... but, instead extended ' all-the-way-through ' the 1980's !!! - and even into the Early-1990's too ! Jerry was Strong ! - the Band was Hot ! - and the Fans were Rabid ! ... for more & more - ' Live-Dead ' !!! I mean people ... this 9/24/82 Syracuse Show had a China > Rider !!! in the 8/9 spot - to Close ! the 1st Set !!! Just kinda-like the '89 Frost Show !!! Such-Magic !!! Such Fiery ! & Infectious !! '80's Dead !!! " '80's Dead For President ! " - or at least I say ... Enjoy !!!!!
