" Superhero ... Thor !! on the Grateful DeadBackstage Pass for the Last / Final Tour-Stop ! & the 2nd to Last Grateful Dead Show - " Ever " !!!!!
Fellow Dead Fans ... Wow. I mean just looking at this Pass gives me thegoosebumps - just to think of the overall-meaning with this one. The 2nd to LastShow Ever ! for the Good Ol Grateful Dead ... July 8th, 1995 - at Soldier Field ! in Chicago !! All I can say in hindsight is - well, I guess we should justcount out lucky stars that we got to see of them when and as much as we did ...and, its probably really better that nobody knew that 7/8/95 & 7/9/95would indeed be the Last Tour-Stop of the Best Live Band Ever ! ... the GratefulDead !!! Just imaging if there was actually a situation where a" Last / Final " Dead Show was billed as such ?!? I mean talk aboutsome serious ticket mayhem ... Whoa ?!? Well, offered here ( with alwaysmixed-emotions, obviously ... ) is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful DeadBackstage Pass for the Last & Final Tour Stop of the Grateful Dead ... the 2nd toLast Show Ever ! by the Band ... July 8, 1995 ( 7/8/1995 ) - at Soldier Field inChicago, Illinois ( IL ). It opened with Jack Straw ! - closed with OneMore Saturday Night ! - delivered a U.S. Blues Encore ! -- and, delivered China> Rider ! ... The Other One ! ... and even a Visions Of Johanna ! right in themiddle ! Wow ... the 2nd to Last Dead Show - and the Final Tour-Stop of theGrateful Dead. Pretty darn crazy to think ... two completely Sold-Out !Shows - on a completely Sold-Out ! 1995 Summer Tour !! One, unfortunatelyriddled with problems though - as we all well know, portions of the scene weregetting well out of hand. Sad, but true ... and at least in my opinion -so much of it felt so unavoidable. The Grateful Dead had become aTouring-Machine ! for the Fans, but with that - is obviously theaftermath. Getting on the Road in Summertime, basically meant Large !Venues, and just as in the case of Soldier Field ... Stadiums ! HugeStadiums, with Tons ! of Fans. These stresses on a Band in just Year 30 !were pretty-massive ... and, extra hard on Jerry. Even Phil Lesh statedpublicly - he called for a " double-encore " on 7/9/95, and dropped theBox Of Rain ! - because he just had a funny feeling that it might well indeed bethe end. And just not too long ago, in Rolling Stone Magazine ... Philsort of mentioned the " What If " factor - if the Band would have takenthe time, rest & break from Touring that was equally needed for all, and -especially for Garcia. Im just glad that I saw all the Shows that I did,and that we still have the Music ! But, on the other hand ... here it islike 30-Years later - and I have come to the inevitable conclusion that this95 ending of the Grateful Dead will never not be sad. Joy ? Youbet ... tons & tons of it. But, parts that are sad, tragic, and thetype of happenings that Fans who lived-through it will just never forget. As not too long ago ... I was lucky enough to see Stephen Stills completely Smoke ! a Fender Strat in a real-intimate indoor Venue - Solo, with the Steve Stills Band ! - and, with him being like 70 ? ... it justreally made me think of Jerry. A guy that only ever really got" Better ! " on guitar ... I mean how far along, different & evolved would he be here today ?In just his early 70s ??! Definitely makes you think, indeed ...Well, regardless - I will Forever ! be Grateful ... and that is forcertain. This Grateful Dead unit in the Late 80s & Early 90s waslikely the best-thing that I will ever see on this Planet ... and of that, I amwell aware - and just completely Thankful . I just think it is soincredibly cool that Thor ! is on this 7/8/95 Chicago Pass ... as he is aSuperhero that represents both Resilience ! & Strength !! - just like ourbeloved Grateful Dead did, and always still will in our hearts. TheStrongest ! of the Strong !! A Beyond-Essential ! piece of both Grateful Dead !& Rock n Roll !! History !!! - for all-reasons clearly obvious. Enjoy!!!!!
