    Grateful Dead Backstage Pass : 1981 : " Dead Set !!! " Art !! - 1980 Barsotti / Larkins G.D. Art Design ! : September 27, 1981 ( 9/27/1981 ) - Capital Centre - Landover, Maryland ( MD ) : 1981 Fall Tour ! : 1981 Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) - Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) : Very-Rare !!!!!!!
    Grateful Dead Fans !!! - and quite-likely those from ' The MD ' ! & The Grate ! ... Mid-Atlantic !!  And, naturally too ... Fans of Red-Hot ! G.D. 1981 Tour Rock & Roll !!!  As offered here proudly indeed is a Very-Very Rare !! Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Backstage Pass ( sticker-patch / satin ) for the September 27, 1981 ( 9/27/1981 ) Fall Tour '81 Show at the Good Ol' Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland ( MD ) !!!  This Tour Stop at the Cap Centre was indeed the 1981 Fall Tour ' Closing-Show ' before the Band packed-up their Bags & flew to Europe ! for the Europe '81 Fall Tour -- playing at " The Playhouse " in Edinburgh, Scotland ... just 3-Days later !?!  Wow ... and maybe even less-than ' 3-Days ' later - if you consider the massive International ' Time Zone ' change.  Dang, well ... I'd actually have to check that one out, you know ... like which-way it goes ?!  Ha !  But Wow ... as this I will tell You ! -- This Show was Hot !!!!!!!  Pure down & dirty '81 G.D. - with Garcia just bringing the Electric-goods ! in Lightning !! style & fashion !  Alabama > Promised ! in the Set I ' 2/3 ' spots ... after a Cooker ! of a Jack Straw 'Opener ' !!  Rooster goes deep-bluesy style ! ... and Sailor > Saint closes up the Set with a Gusto !  And then ... Whoa !!! ... Set II !!!  China > Rider !! right smack out of the gate ... with a real-fancy & exceptionally played He's Gone > Truckin' into Drums / Space ! ... Spanish Jam ! comes ' out ' of Space ... and a Miracle > Good Lovin' hammers out the back-end of this Set II with Massive ! ' Feel-Good ' Energy !!  And even too ... a little Baby Blue ! for the Encore !!  So, I don't know if the Band kind of viewed this Cap Centre Show as a final-chance to rally for this Europe '81 Fall Tour ? - but, whether or not that was the case ... they Sure did bring the Heat !!!  Yes indeed ... The-Heat ! for the MD !! ... on Fall Tour '81 !!!  Personally, I've listened to all available boards & audience recordings of every Cap Centre performance ever by the Band.  And Why ?  Naturally ... because it was an old childhood stompin' ground for me, and I've seen them work their one-of-a kind Magic ! there more times than I could count.  I always felt the '74 - '76 - '79 - '81 & '90 runs were top-class, as it's really hard to pick favorites - however, do keep in mind that the Band only played Landover a scarce 4-times prior to the 1980's.  Then of course, there was a mighty era where the Merriweather Post Pavilion instead won the G.D. Mid-Atlantic " MD " honors.  So obviously, there was an urge to dig into the old stuff from the creaky-old ( though still beloved ! ) hockey-rink.  '74 - '76 - '79 - '81 - '82 & '90 have always gotten a ton of spin & ear-time in my Nak ... but there is just something special about Early-'80's G.D. - cram-packed full of Energy ! everywhere, and you just never know what is coming at you - right around that corner !  Totally the case with this '81 Show, and the '79 & '82 Shows too - for that matter, on the topic !  Well now ... & Hey Now ! - as in-a-nutshell, this Show was a complete Smoker !! ... a toe-to-toe '81 G.D. Heater !!!  And what a Awesome ! looking Pass to commemorate this G.D. Show - in G.D. History ! ... as you simply do-not see many of these '81 Issued Passes in " Green " - and especially here today, well over 35-Years ! Later !!!  Wow ... for-certain ... '81 G.D. Live at The Cap Centre !!! ... in the " MD " !!!!!  Enjoy !!!!!!!
