    Dead Fans ! ... or, as I should correctly say in this Awesome-Case -- " DEAD " Fans ! ... Whoa !!  Offered here indeed is the ' Completed ! ' Grateful Dead Backstage Puzzle ( Genuine / Authentic ) for the 1990 Summer Tour Shows at Deer Creek ( IN ) & The World Amphitheatre ( IL ) !!!  This Puzzle is comprised of the Final Four ( 4 ) Shows of the 1990 Grateful Dead Summer Tour ! ... which were also the Last & Final Grateful Dead Shows with Brent Mydland - due to his untimely & tragic passing just 3-days after this 7/23/90 Tour Closer -- on 7/26/1990.  An unexpected tragedy that would forever change the Grateful Dead as the band that Fans knew them - as Brent was a member of the band dating all the way back to the '79 Spring Tour ... all throughout the 1980's !  And ... as any Dead Fan knows - there will only be one Brent ... more raw Soul ! in his little pinky finger, than most musicians could ever dream of.  So, as it goes without even saying.. the importance of this Backstage Puzzle from these Final Shows is so great ... that it is indeed Beyond Description !  Wow ... and, as far as this Puzzle design itself - I'm not sure even where to start with this one ... as I think it is truly impossible to out-promote the Photos ! of this G.D. Backstage Pass Treasure !  The .. .. .. " DEAD " Guitar Playing Skeleton !!!!!  The 7/19/90 & 7/22/90 Puzzle Pieces offer the two ( 2 ) " D's " in " DEAD " !! - and, the Skeleton's Arms ! ... one with a Steal Your Face ! ' Guitar Pick ' !! - and, the other with the ' Neck ' of the Guitar ! ... and, it's ' Skull ' Headstock !!!  Whoa !  The 7/21/90 Pass delivers the " E " in " DEAD " in the background - and also features the Guitar Playing Skeleton's ' Head ' ... or, the " Deadhead ! " - if I may !? ... Hah ! - with a Headband made of Skulls !! - including one that even has a ' Top-Hat ' ... Uncle Sam style !!!  And, last but not least ... the 7/23/90 Pass ( the Summer '90 Tour-Closer & Brent's Last & Final Show ) provides the " A " in " DEAD " and features the ' Grateful Dead ' brand Guitar Body ! - with two Skulls ! - naturally ... and - there is even a little Lightning-Bolt ! on this Guitar Playing Skeleton's Bones !!!  Wow - I mean who needs a tattoo - when you've already got a G.D. Lightning-Bolt engraved on your Bones !!?!  Can this Puzzle even get any cooler ??  Dang ... I mean I think I have to confess here -- this Puzzle was made the very-1st year ( 1990 ) that Reonegro designed Backstage Puzzle Passes for the Grateful Dead - and, at least to my eye ... it might be the Coolest ?!?  Well, it's certainly not 20-Pieces like the " Train " - but, pound for pound ?  And, if you are looking to frame one for your " Guitar " Room ??!  Then ... Wow !!  This is just the Best !  Plus, this Puzzle not only has a ton of color, humor, creativity, etc.. -- but, it's got some serious Attitude & Edge !!!  I like that about it, and have Always ! thought that this was one of the very-very best.  This 4-Piece ' Complete ! ' Puzzle was only ever issued twice ! by Grateful Dead Productions, for Official Show Backstage Credentials - this one here for the '90 Summer Tour, and once again only for the Fall Tour '90 stop at the Madison Square Garden in New York City ( 9/15/90 through 9/19/90 ) - with obviously, this '90 Summer Tour version being the Original ! release of this fabulous Grateful Dead " DEAD " Guitar Playing Skeleton.  Truly one of the Finest ! Grateful Dead Collectible pieces of the Late-'80's & 1990's Era, and depending on your particular eye & taste ... maybe even ' The-Best ' ever !!!  Frame this one, and let your Rock 'n Roll loving friends enjoy it too !  The Guitar Playing " DEAD ! " Skeleton !!!  Enjoy !!!!!!
