Grateful Dead ! ... " Dead Set !! " ... & Philly Spectrum Show Fans !!!  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) - ' Complete ! ' 2-Show Set !! - for the April 5th & 6th, 1982 ( 4/5/82 & 4/6/82 ) Shows at the The Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ( PA ) !!  And these days ... maybe even more popularized than-ever-before ... with the Grateful Dead Road Trips Volume 4 Number 4 pro-release ( Featuring the Complete 4/6/82 Spectrum Show & also this 4/5/82 Spectrum Show as a 7-Song Filler on the release ! ) from back in 2011 !  Some Childhood-Favorite ! Analog Cassette Tapes of mine - for certain ... and without question many ! of the Dead Fan Faithful !!  As these Spring Tour '82 Shows were Absolute Live-Dead Heaters !!!  And in the opinion of some Dead Fans ( well ... many, actually ! ) these April Spectrum Shows may just have been the tightest - most fluid - and action-packed Shows of the Entire ! '82 Spring Tour !!  Not that Set lists always tell the G.D. " Tale of the Tape " - but in the case of these 4/5 & 4/6 1982 Philly Shows ??!  Well, they'll most definitely catch your Eye - and even turn your Head-Around ! ... as the Music itself ! from these Philly Spectrum nights will do all the rest.  Long-story short ... just think " Playing In The Band " !!!  As an argument for the " Top-list " is made here for certain by Garcia & Co..  And the fact is. .. Jerry & the Whole ! Band are just ' after ' this one.  Taking the Deadhead Faithful straight to the Moon ! - and right-from Philly !!  The ' Electric ! ' Deep Elm Blues - Althea - Women Are Smarter - Bertha - and the Playin' > Ship ... Playin' were all so-appropriately selected for the 4/6/82 Road Trips Vol. 4 No. 4 CD " Filler " - and, I think these tunes were definitely some spot-on ' picks '. .. though, if it was me picking them - I would have also been hard pressed to not add both the Jack Straw & the Good Lovin' too !  And just like you would expect on the East Coast & Mid-Atlantic ... Bobby was On !!!  Hah !!  But, you know ... I can understand that there was only so-much CD ' space ' - so, Awesome-indeed !  The Cassidy & Rooster ! were also darn-hot !  As you can see where this one is headed ... towards being an " Ace " Show !  Yeah Weir !!!  I mean hey ... I call it like I see it - as pretty much Every ! Deadhead needs this 4/5/82 Pass ! - this 4/6/82 Pass ! ... and also the Road Trips Vol. 4 No. 4 Spectrum CD pro-release !!  Grate ! stuff, indeed ... Good 'Ol Grateful Dead !  And Yes ! - I do consider the Early '80's in the "Good 'Ol" category - Ha !  And as for this Backstage Pass design itself ?  Just Completely-Rad ! ... Red ! & Blue ! ... & Yellow ! & Blue ! too !! for flat-out striking ' color-contrasts ' on Both ! of these.  And too ... as I'm likely restating the obvious here - this is the Quintessential ! G.D. " Dead Set " Rock Art based design - delivered So-Awesomely ! by Dennis Larkins & Peter Barsotti in 1980 - used in one form or another on Posters, etc. for the Dead Set Cover - Warfield Poster - Radio City Music Hall Poster - Handbills - Tour Shirts - you name it.  And, as the photos well show - it's just that Cool !  Uncle Sam relaxing with his thoughts - looking on the Golden Gate Bridge - with Ms. Uncle Sam doing just the same thing - but her view ... New York City ! and the Hudson !!  Quintessential ! G.D. Passes right here - to say the very-least ... from 4/5/82 & 4/6/1982 - at The Spectrum !!!  A Historic ! '82 Spring Dead Tour stop !! - in Philly !!!  I mean ... where else ?? - Ha ! ... East~Coast !!! -- Enjoy !!!!!
