Home of the Oregon Fighting Ducks !!!!!
Grateful Dead Fans ! & " Dead-icated " Grateful Ducks !! Everywhere !!! Offered here is a Rare & Incredibly-Awesome ! Vintage - Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead Ticket ! for the Grateful Dead / Oregon Ducks Fan !!! I know I've met quite a few of these Fans in my days ... but, oh-wait ?! That's right ... I am one ! I guess the only question is then ... which do I like better ? Ahhh ... Oh-No ! & No-Way !! as I could never-ever go there ... I mean after all Fans - '94 is a year where not only ! did the Grateful Dead deliver 3 Summer Tour Shows !! in Mighty Autzen Stadium ... but Kenny Wheaton also delivered " The Pick " !!! '94 Forever ! ... I say ! So yes indeed Fans ... as offered here is the 6/17/94 " Opening-Show " Ticket for the Glorious ! 3-Show G.D. stand ... at Mighty Autzen ! The Band played their Last & Final U of O and Eugene stand on June 17th, 18th & 19th, 1994 ... and this Ticket is from the 1st Show ! Well-known to many Fans who were there as " The Rain Show ! ". And yes, even though as we already know that " It Never Rains In Autzen Stadium " - well... on this " Eugene-Dead-Day " it must have been an anomaly - as it rained Good ! ... or " Grate ! " - and the Band gladly reflected it in the Set list ! Ha ! ... Bertha ! - Rain ! - Samba In the Rain ! And
... as for the " Importance " of these Eugene Shows ? Whoa !?! As I don't really even really know where to start ?? Well ... let's just put it this way 1st - this is the " Last & Final " Grateful Dead run of Shows at both ! the University of Oregon !! - and in Eugene !!! In yes, the land of Ken Kesey & Friends - who even taught a Creative Writing Class at ! the U of O - just shortly before this time. In fact, these were almost ! the very-last Grateful Dead Shows in the entire Grate-State ! of Oregon - if it wasn't for a 2-Show run in Portland at Portland Meadows in May of 1995. So ... in effect - this was truly the Grateful Dead's ' unofficial ' Goodbye ! to both !! the U of O ! & Eugene !! But, because of the way things ended up working out ... not a single Band Member - G.D. Family Member - or Dead Fan ! ever knew it at the actual time - in June of '94. So Yes !!! Arguably the very-best way to say ' Goodbye-Forever ' indeed ... when nobody even knows it at the time - and the focus can just be Grate-Times ! - Rock & Roll !! - even some ... Sunshine ! in Mighty Autzen Stadium !! - and of course, naturally ... some Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!! 3-Shows worth ! - and 3 Solid !! Shows worth, at that. I saw all-three myself & sat right in the front row for ' This-One ! ' - 6/17/94 - ( right in between Garcia ! & Weir ! ) - and, to this day it is still ! quite hard to pick a ' Favorite '. And ... it is also very-important to note that the Grateful Dead were actually ' Banned ' from playing the University of Oregon Autzen Stadium - right after the 1990 Shows they played. And ' Why ? ' you might ask ? Well, you know ... numerous troubles with fan behavior, etc. - etc. - etc. ... blah - blah - blah ... - until >>> ( Hah !!! ) >>> Jerry Garcia Himself ! took care of this little ( Big ! ) problem all on his very-own ... and almost by simply & so-fortunate coincidence ! Just a Simple Twist Of Fate ! - if I may. Like when all of the Planets & Stars align - sort of like during a Smoldering Drums > Space !! Ha ! So yes indeed ... Jerry ran into Dan Williams ( U of President, at the time ) in Hawaii where Dan was vacationing - and so was Garcia ... as he was Scuba-Diving ! ( I mean what are the chances of this ?!? - Truly-Amazing !!! ). Then Dan spotted him down there - and Dan's Wife thought it would be pretty-cool to introduce himself to Jerry - and ask for a photo of them together. So, Dan asked Jerry & Jerry obliged - naturally, but - with only one very small stipulation ... " Why don't you let us come back to play in Eugene - because we really love playing there ?! ". Well Folks, that was indeed all she wrote & Dan Williams Delivered ! on his handshake-promise to Garcia !!! - as 8/21/1993 & 8/22/1993 were officially-booked just shortly thereafter - and then the rest was all G.D. / Duck U. History ! in August 1993 !! And, then-again Amazingly ! ... a Last & Final 3-night stand at " Mighty Autzen ! " on the 1994 Summer Tour !! was allowed - yet once again !!! Five ( 5 ) !!!!! More 1993 / 1994 Grateful Dead Shows at the U of O !!! Duck U'r Face !!!!! Enjoy this very-fine piece of Grateful Dead ! - Oregon ! - U of O - ! and Eugene ! Rock 'n Roll History !! Memorabilia !!! Indeed " The-Last-Time! " for the Good Ol' Grateful Dead ... in Eugene ! The Finest ! of G.D. & U of O Memories !! to Forever~Savor !!! ... Enjoy !!!!!
