G.D. Passes of the Late'80's Era ... hands-down !  A Statuesque-design of the both Biblical Tale & Grateful Dead Song ... " Samson & Delilah " !!!  A Sunday-Sermon Live-Rocker that most-all ! Dead Fans waited for eagerly, and Treasured ! ... always chompin' at the bit to do some more Dancin' !!!  Ha !  Well, as you can well-see here in the photos ... Samson has the Lion at his mercy indeed ... in this Man vs. Beast Test of Strength ! - a Battle to the End ! - with Samson Victorious !  As those G.D. Fan-Favorite Song lines go - swirling in our Dead Heads for decades ! ... " Samson Ripped that Beast, God Knows - He Killed Him There !! ... and the Bees Made Honey in the Lions Hair ! ".  Whoa !!?!  Just typing-this makes me want to go & fire up the Nak ... grabbing likely for 6/30/85 with Samson sandwiched recklessly & delightfully ! between Shakedown & Gimmie Some Lovin' !!!  A Mid-'80's Burner !!!  One of my favorites too, as Garcia pretty much clearly separates himself from anybody else who ever played Guitar !  Nasty ! & So-Beautiful ...  Point being, that is the Power & Attack that Samson could & most often would deliver Live !  A go-to Rocker, straight out of the G.D. Powerhouse Pocket !  The Band Ripping-that-Beast ! just like the Tale of Samson & the Lion ... Samson & Delilah !!!  In addition, from a collecting standpoint - as you are likely already well aware ... this particular version of this '89 Spring Tour G.D. Pass features this Samson Statue design in a Light-Silver Color !  Very-Rare ! is almost an understatement for this one, as most other times issued - this design was used, but the Statue was colored in a Bronze/Golden-like hue !  With 6/30/88 Rochester - and 10/9/89 Hampton being two examples I am able to pull right off the top of my ' Dead-Head ' !  A ' Light Blue ' border-strip below with the date too, which really makes this one Glow - all the more.  And, as you probably have already noticed too ... " Grateful Dead " is printed in one of the Greatest ! ' Fonts ' of All-Time ... totally-modern, yet still ! Totally '80's !!  A way nice-match indeed, at least to my eyes ... & one of my own personal All-Time Favorites - for certain !  Well, look out for Samson - and if do cross-paths with him someday ... as my advice would be to get on his good side !  And, especially if you are a Lion !! ... Ha !  Enjoy this Rare ! & Awesome !! G.D. Rock 'n Roll Treasure !!!
