I don't know about you - but this one gets my mind thinking " Festival Express " ! ... one of the Finest ! Movie documentaries Ever ! in the History of Rock 'n Roll ... Whoa ! Holy-Canada !! An Amazing ! G.D. Train Pass design here for certain ... and I'm pretty certain that this unique & very-popular ( obviously ... ) design was used in only 1984 & 1985 on Backstage Passes for Grateful Dead Tours ! Never used anywhere else, to my knowledge - which is a true-shame, as I would have been Sold !! if they had made this beauty into a T-Shirt !! Way too few G.D. Train-Shirts ever made, but Thankfully ! the Late / ' Grate ! ' Rick Griffin did just Nail-it ! with the 1987 Dylan & The Dead Tee ! And, there was a pretty darn cool ' Train ' Tee made for the Last & Final Tour of the Grateful Dead in 1995 ! Just try & visualize ... Train-Train ! - just Rollin' down that Track ! And ... for all of you Taper-Deadheads out there - now just think back, if you will ... how excited were we - that this Show was featured as a Nationwide Radio Broadcast !?! ... because, as quite often in this case - we all had these tapes relatively quick ! I'm pretty sure this was one of my 1st " 1984 " G.D. acquisitions ?!? And ... years & years later - this one even surfaced ' digitally ' ? ... in the form of " God Times For All Time " ! Classic & mysterious title for certain, but - I still kept my analogs ... because as we all well-know - you just cannot fit CD's in a Nak ! ... Ha !!! Hail to Cassettes ... as I guess they will degrade before I'm even nearly tired of them. Nothing ! like that crisp, cool & ' warm ' analog sound ... Yes ! Are we having fun yet ?! Classic ... But, my serious point being that this Pass is even Cooler ! - as most-all of us have enjoyed this Show for years !!! Keep in mind too ... as this night was a SEVA Benefit Concert, with The Band ! opening for the Boys !!! And, this is '84 Garcia Axe-work too we are talking about - and, at least to my ears ... that means that you can rarely ! go wrong. Red-Hot ... while rollin' this Santa Fe G.D. Train !!! Certainly ... one of the coolest G.D. Pass designs of all time, when it comes to the Non-Skeleton / Roses / Psychedelic / Dancing Bears, etc. themes. Fact is, this one is for the Guy or Gal who loves their Trains !! A most-important part of U.S. American History ... Just-like ! The Grateful Dead !!! Almost ! 20-Years here So Far here in '84 ... Scarlet > Fire ! - Samson > Terrapin ! --- and a little ' New Orleans ' - Big Boss Man > Iko Iko ( with The Band ! ) for Encore time !!! Dang ...
