    Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1979 : " Shakedown Street !!! " - Gilbert Shelton '78 Art Design !! : '79 Tour ! : May 5, 1979 ( 5/5/79 : 5/5/1979 ) Baltimore Civic Center - Baltimore Maryland ( MD ) : 1979 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!!
    Grateful Dead Fans !!! ... & most-likely too - East Coast ! Deadheads ... and those from the Good Ol' " MD " !!  Offered here is the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the '79 East Coast May Tour Show at the Baltimore Civic Center ! in Baltimore, Maryland ( MD ) !!  For Dead Fans close to 40-Years Ag
    o ! ... this '79 Fall Tour was a Must-See !  Smokin' Show ! after Smokin' Show !! by this brand new ( at the time ) " Brent-Era ! " Grateful Dead unit ... with this East Coast Tour stretch - indeed being the 1st of Brent Mydland with the Grateful Dead !!  And, this was still really the " Shakedown Street ! " G.D. Touring Era !! - with even this Backstage Pass itself featuring the Legendary ! Album Cover Artwork by Gilbert Shelton ( '78 ).  In fact, it was also just about a full-year from this point - when " Go To Heaven " would be released.  A time of creative Live Show & Sound change for the Dead ! - as this was indeed the 1st tour Back East without both Keith & Donna Godchaux.  So, yes ... big shoes to fill for Brent - which, he fit right in & ran with !!  In fact ... this was only Brent's 4th Show ! with the Grateful Dead - and this Baltimore Tour stop was the 3rd Show on this May '79 tour-stretch - with only Charlotte, NC & Hampton, VA being played prior.  After this, the Band played Easton, PA ( Lafayette College ) - State College, PA ( Penn State ) - Binghamton, NY ( Broome County Arena ), Billerica, MA ( Billerica Forum ) - Amherst, MA ( U Mass ) - and Portland, ME ( Cumberland County Civic ) ... so, this was a nice & tight Nine ( 9 ) date Tour - with the Baltimore Civic Center being played 4th !  And, I suppose at this point in Time & Space ! ... there were a lot of Baltimore Bullets ! & Baltimore Clippers ! ( Ha ! ) Games going on - in this Era, with of course as well ... lots of Rock & Roll !!  As, I'm very proud to say that I was actually living in the Rodgers Forge area of Baltimore - when this 5/5/79 Dead Show went down.  And, just as any Fan might expect in this Amazing ! '79 G.D. Era ... they flat-out delivered the Goods !  Jack Straw > Sugaree led the charge !  With a hot El Paso & All Over Now weaving their way in between Friend Of The Devil & Tennessee Jed to in the 1st Set.  But, when this set came to a close ... Whoa !?! - as it was On !!!  A Cooker ! of a Dancin' In The Streets ! just Rocked !! - and without any question ... stole the Show ! - as far as the 1st Set goes.  And, really ... this was just a tell tale & sign ! of where things were just about to go ... as the Band came out for Set II - and things got Hot ... Heavy ... & basically - Fierce !!!  So, I suppose it's safe to say in that '79 - a 7-Song first set could & would often lead to this ... and, that being - Grateful Dead Live-Magic !!!  I mean, it's kind of like this - if you could actually ' pick ' a 7-Song 1979 Grateful Dead Set II ? ... Would you pick any differently then this one ?? >>> Scarlet > Fire - Samson > He's Gone > Drums > Space > Other One > Wharf Rat > Sugar Magnolia !!!?  Whoa !?!?!!  Super-Duper ! hot stuff ... & naturally too, right ?  1979 Live Dead !!!  And, for the Encore too - as it was indeed a ' Saturday ' -- " One More Saturday Night !!! ".  What a Dead Show ! in the Good Ol' MD !! - Wow !!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
