( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!!

Grateful Dead !! Reonegro ! & maybe-even Hippie VW Microbus Fans ! too !!!  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) " Puzzle-Pass " piece for the Capital Centre Show in Landover, Maryland on March 16th, 1993 ( 3/16/1993 ) !!  And this " piece " is Puzzle Pass # 4 ( of # 8 ) of the Tony Reonegro designed Grateful Dead Bus !!!  Also known as the " Magic Bus ! " ... and/or the " Hippie Bus !! ".  Whichever you shall choose ...  And, as you can well-see from the photos provided - this Pass indeed is arguably the ' Anchor ' Piece !! ... & pretty much the Coolest ! Piece of the 8-Piece G.D. Hippie Bus Puzzle ! ... The Crazy Peace-Sign Necklace & Fiery Long-Blonde Haired !! ... Hippie Bus G.D. Skeleton Driver !!!  But, from the looks here, this Skeleton looks to be anything but ' Dancin ' - as this VW Style G.D. Hippie Bus is a way out of control !?! ... almost like a Train Runnin' Down a Downhill Track ?!? - or, maybe just a Hippie Bus ! just way out of control - only trying to get to the Next-Dead-Show !  Remember them all lined-up on the shoulders of Freeways all along Dead Tour !?  And back then ... ahhh, why not pick-up that Hitch Hiker !  And, in this case too ... it was the Cap Centre in Maryland ! - being the most-recent Venue of Choice for the Grateful Dead ! on that Long Strange Trip !!  Yeah ... the Cap Centre !  Taking this information into consideration ... well, maybe they-are running from the Cops ?!?  Hey, like many of us G.D. Tour Vets well-know ... they sure didn't call it the ' Cop-Centre ' for nothing !  Now that is a Venue where the Law were even on Horseback in the Lot !?!!  Whoa !  Something I'll never forget, but - I might rather !  Plus ... just check out the ' Other One ' of these Skeletons ?!? - as he/she is riding Shotgun, and can't bear this scene at hand ... to the point, where the Eye-Holes are even being covered-up with the Boney-Hands !  Dang ... I'll bet the ' Let The Good Times Roll ' Show Opener ! sure felt good on this night to this Skeleton Tandem ! ... and, I bet the Scarlet > Fire & Morning Dew ! didn't look to darn bad either ... Nice !!!  1993 Spring Tour in Landover !  Can't beat a St. Patty's Day run there - I'll say !!  Awesome ...  I mean Naturally ! -- things just look so way-Electrified !! in this Creative & Colorful G.D. scene, as this pass is just so Bright, Glowing & Frantic ! looking !!  Yes ! - as Reonegro strikes again !!  Yes indeed ... and, if you put all 8 of these Pieces together, then you'll have the ' Completed ' VW Microbus Puzzle ... and, not only is this one all Zany & Whacky ... Just ! how we like it ... But ! -- you could pretty much argue that this here piece is indeed " The ! " Piece of this 8-Piece Bus Puzzle ... as it is indeed the Driver !! - and not just any Driver -- but a Skeleton Hippie-Driver !! in the Bus Hot-Seat !!!  Gotta love the climbing right through the Front Window ! scene ... Just Killer !  Dang, as I am sure rooting for these guys !!!  Hah !  So, yes indeed ... as there were certainly a few very cool 8-Piece Passes made for the Mid-'90's ... the " Truck " - the " Space Shuttle " - Three ( 3 ) Rainforest Puzzles - and this here ... The Bus !!!  Well, with that said ... we had better get on it, right !  Ha !  Definitely one of, if not " The " greatest Deadhead favorites of the 8-piece Puzzles !  I'm always torn, and I go back & forth ... Bus ? Truck ? Bus ? Space Shuttle ?  Rainforest ?  Bus ? -- see what I mean, as it's tough picking favorites ... so, I tend to like them all !  And, this is a Cap Centre Show ! that we are talking about here ... and, anybody who saw a Show - or, more likely Show(s,s,s !) in Landover can easily-attest to the sheer fact that Maryland, and its surroundings were one of the Finest ! Deadhead hot-beds in the Land !  So Hey Now ! ... let's hear it, right ?  Three Cheers for the Mid-Atlantic !!!  Very nice, indeed ...  And if you saw this 3/16/93 Cap Centre Tuesday night Show 30-Years Ago yourself ??  Well, then it looks like I might have just made your day !  And that of course, is Totally-Excellent to hear.  Since these Puzzle Passes are highly-collected, and especially for this crazy Magic-Bus ! ... well, here is your shot to pick this one up a la carte ! - if you were at this Show, and you most definitely need it !  A Reonegro '92 Design - and even a " Puzzle-Piece ! " too !!  A Fantastic ! G.D. Pass ... and, I think it is probably safe to say that it is the only G.D. Pass that proudly bears a Crazy Hippie Skeleton Driving a Grateful Dead VW Mirco style Magic Hippie Bus !!?! ... with of course, an Electrified ! Peace Sign Necklace !! in tow !!!  A Total ! G.D. Backstage Puzzle Pass Classic !!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
