Details:

Collection of twenty-three original Grateful Dead concert ticket stubs, backstage credentials, and related event passes dating from 1982 through 1995. The archive includes admissions from numerous venues across the northeastern United States, highlighted by an original 1982 Fall Tour backstage pass from the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine, together with a colorful period backstage credential from an August 1982 performance and a broad assortment of ticket stubs from the band’s final decade of touring.

Represented venues include Madison Square Garden, Nassau Coliseum, Giants Stadium, Boston Garden, Knickerbocker Arena, The Spectrum, Three Rivers Stadium, and other major concert locations. The tickets document multiple tours and performances from the Jerry Garcia era, including appearances during 1994 and 1995, the final years before Garcia’s death in August 1995.

The Grateful Dead developed one of the most devoted followings in music history through their unique blend of rock, folk, blues, country, jazz, and improvisational performance. Concert attendance became a defining element of Deadhead culture, with fans often following the band from city to city. As a result, original tickets, backstage passes, and tour credentials have become important artifacts documenting both the band’s history and the broader cultural phenomenon that surrounded them.

The Grateful Dead was founded in 1965 and became synonymous with the San Francisco counterculture movement of the 1960s. Led by Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, and others, the band remained a major touring attraction for three decades and continues to exert a profound influence on American music and popular culture.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
