Backstage Passes ! -- the " Egypt '78 " Keyboard Player ( Keith Godchaux ! > Brent Mydland ! ) - designed by Stanley Mouse ! ( for the 7/7/87 Pass ) ... & " The Invisible Man " ( aka. ' Shakedown Sam ' / ' Stagger Lee ' ) from the Grateful Dead 1978 Studio Album " Shakedown Street ! " - designed by Gilbert Shelton ! ( for the 7/8/87 Pass ). And, I'm sure you're already well-familiar with this " Egypt '78 " Keyboard Player Art-Masterpiece - by " Mouse ! " - ' Stanley Mouse ' that is ... The One & Only !! As certainly you've seen Mouse's Legendary ! " Egypt '78 " Artwork used on the Official Program - Tour Shirt, etc. - pretty much everywhere possible for the Grateful Dead Family's Historic " Big~Trip ! " to Cairo, Egypt ! in September 1978 ! Well, the Original Mouse design ( only less than 10-Years old at the time - way back in '87 ) ... included Mouse-esque " Characters " of each stage-position of the Band Members - there were " Drummers " ( B.K. & Mick ) ... a " Singer " ( Donna-Jean ) ... and three " String-Players " ... ( Phil - Bobby & Jerry ! ) >>> and this one here ... it is/was the " Keyboard-Player " Character - which Mouse designed at the time to represent Keith Godchaux ! So here in 1987... it works just as well in the " Brent " Era ( 8-years in ! ) - with Brent Mydland obviously taking over the G.D. Keyboard-duties from 1979 - 1990 ! ... and often with reckless-abandon - passion & soul ! too, might I add. As we all very-well know - there is just-one Brent !! So, check out the photos of this beautiful Orange - Pink & Black ! G.D. Backstage Pass !! ... of Keith !!! But obviously, made & used by GDP in 1987 - it now also stood for Brent ! ... for the '87 Summer Tour !! - in Roanoke, VA !!! Pretty awesome, right ? I'll say ! ... " Hail to the Mouse !! ". And ... as for the Other~One ( the 7/8/87 Pass ! ) - I'm quite-certain you're already well aware of This ! " Dead-Art Masterpiece ! " by the Grate ! Gilbert Shelton - Art Master of the Shakedown Street ! ... " Invisible Man ! " ( aka. " Shakedown Sam ! " / " Stagger Lee ! " ). From ( naturally ... ) the Legendary ! 1978 " Shakedown Street ! " / " Invisible Man ! " Artwork used on the Shakedown Street Album Back Cover, Grateful Dead '78 Tour Shirts !, Stickers, G.D. Backstage Passes ! etc.. Pretty much everywhere-possible really, during this quite transitional " Disco~Dead ! " Era !! Well, the Original Gilbert Shelton design of Shakedown Street's " Invisible Man " ( also only less than 10-Years old at the time - way back in '87 ) ... indeed included Mr. Shakedown Sam ! ( " The Invisible Man ! " ) in his Infamous & Fantastic " Leisure Suit ! " on not only Grateful Dead Merchandise, the Shakedown Street Album ! itself ( not to mention the 8-Tracks ! - Cassette Tapes - and CD's too ! ) respectively on down the line ( of " Shakedown Street ! " ) - Ha ! With the Dead Tour Venue Lots ! in the Late-'70's Era, 1980's Era, and Early/Mid-'90's Era also taking on the so-appropriate name of " Shakedown Street ! " - where you could get all of your essential Dead Gear ( & Dead Goods ! ) from the Dead Tour Fans ! - ahhh, yes ... the " Deadheads ! ". Straight ! from the Tour Bus !! Awesome ... And, I mean ' naturally ' - as what better of a Quintessential " Dead-Art-Design " than Shakedown Street's " Shakedown Sam ! " ( " Mr. Invisible Man ! " - because you just can't-really-see-Him ! ... just his Leisure Suit ! - Awesome Shoes, Awesome Hat ! - and all of That !! ) ... right-on a Grateful Dead Backstage Pass !! And, at least for me ... these " Roanoke-Dead ! " '87 Passes were always extra-special to me - since Roanoke ( or, I should more properly-say - Salem, VA ! ) was indeed one of my old stompin' grounds - which I had some Good Ol' Times ! ( Grate~Times !! ). As it was always pretty handy in Southwest Virginia to easily-catch the G.D. Spring Tours ! - deep down into the Southland ! - even down to Atlanta, GA ! Awesome ! ... for most certain. So, yeah ... if you're the type of Dead Fan that only Collects the Rarest ! - Coolest ! - and the Best !! ( for Roanoke, VA ! ) ... well, then this " Roanoke '87 " Dead Pass " Set ! " might just Definitely ! be For-You !! The place where not only a scene from " Borat " was filmed ( inside the Roanoke Civic !? - or, at least so I've been told ! ) - but, also the place where I actually saw my 1st Allman Bros. Band Show ! too !! And yes indeed ... That place " Rocks !!! ". Certainly one of my own personal favorites. So yeah ... Hail ! to the Mouse ! - Gilbert Shelton ! - the Egypt '78 Keys Player ! - The Invisible Man ! - " Roanoke !! " - and the Good Ol' Mid-'80's Grateful Dead !!!
