' Aoxomoxoa ' Art Design Image !!! for the March 9th, 1985 ( 3/9/85 ) B.C.T. Show - the Legendary ! Berkeley Community Theatre ... on the '85 Spring Tour !!! - " 20-Years So Far !!! ". Oh my Grateful Dead !!? ... & Holy Rick Griffin !!?!! An Unbelievable !! Backstage Pass here Dead Fans ... and then some - seriously. ' Might As Well ' get to the point though - with this Red / Yellow & Black / White Striped ! Beauty !! Everyone has their own opinion - and Beauty ! is always in the ' Eye of the Beholder ' - but at least to my eyes ? You really cannot beat Rick Griffin - when it comes to the Rock Art form of Grateful Dead Backstage Passes ! Artists-wise ... and as we know - really no one can pick'em like the Good 'Ol Grateful Dead ! You recognize this design image style I'm certain - from the Legendary ! G.D. Poster & the G.D. Aoxomoxoa Album Cover too ... but, have you seen it on a G.D. Pass ? Dang, and as for Musically !? This BCT Show ( Night # 1 of a 4-Show Stand !!!! ) was yet Another ! flat out toe-to-toe Heater !! from the Legendary 1985 Tour !!! And, it was pretty much at the ' front-end ' too - as there were only Three ( 3 ) '85 Kaiser Shows in February - before this March BCT run ! Wow !! ... and Griff's boney Aoxomoxoa guy ! sure looks pretty fired-up here too, right !?! Well, probably because he's about to walk into the BCT ! for the Opening-Night ! of this Spring Tour '85 Dead run ... getting ready to see some serious ' Brent-Era ' G.D. Heat !!! And too - naturally ... he is featured right-on the Backstage Pass !!! Lucky Dude ... Whoa ! BCT >>> 3/9/85 !!!!! I don't know about you ... but this G.D. sound - tone - energy - and what-have-you - is indeed ! is the Ballpark that my Ears just Love ! to play-in. There were " Moments of Magic ! " Everywhere ! in Spring '85 - and not just at this BCT run - as really the entire majority of this Whole-Tour ! was more than note-worthy. But, they are super-duper in the Groove ! And a lot of it - likely could be attributed to playing ' in ' Berkeley - at the BCT ! ... as they also Smoked !!! this place during the Fall '84 Bay Area run - Big Time !! ( just think Gloria ! & Do It In The Road ! ). And, as-for this 3/9/85 Show !?! How about a Bertha > Saturday Night > Sugaree !!! " Set I Opener " !! Now That ! is what I'm talking about ... my fellow Dead Fans ! A Blistering ! Let It Grow closed this Set ... and as for II ?? Ha !!! How about trying this out for size ... China Cat > Cumberland > Miracle !!!!!!! Then, a Raging ! Other One in the back Set - coming straight out of Space ! And ... even Merl Saunders showed up & played for this Drums > Space > Other One !!! Plus, the " Twilight Zone " thing was all over the place too - as I have Cassette Masters of 3 of these 4 '85 BCT Nights ... and there is ' Kind-Energy ' All Over ! the place ... just Killer !! Well, kinda sad to say ( yet, not to spoil this fun !! ) - but ... Spring '86 was indeed it for the Band at the BCT - as the Fanfare was getting too big for such a small & intimate Venue. But, those who were really-Really Lucky ! got to see the 1st ! " Phil & Friends " Show at the BCT in September 1994 !?!! This 9/24/94 Show featured the Inaugural " Phil & Friends " line-up ... with Phil ! - Bobby !! & Jerry !!! They Rocked-it ! " Unplugged " ... and MTV-style ! Or, at least as Bobby mentioned ! Plus, I've always heard word on how much Phil Loves ! Berkeley ... and, me too ! as it was my ol' stompin' ground for a short while - back in the day ( aka. The Mid-'90's ! ). So, as all of this rolls into one - the conclusion is quite clear here ... we'll just let this-one speak for itself >>> Rick Griffin Art ! - Merl Saunders !! - Grateful Dead !!! - " 20-Years So Far " !!!! - 3/9/85 BCT !!!!! Can't say it Any ! better - then that. -- Enjoy !!!!!
