Grateful Dead: Backstage Pass is a 1992 VHS released by Grateful Dead Merchandising, Inc. It’s a 35-minute documentary revolving around the band, showcasing a variety of their shows from the seventies, eighties, and nineties.
The main typefaces are Vassar and its shaded counterpart, Vanderbilt. The other typeface shown here – used for the subtitle – is much older: Robusta was first cast by the Krebs foundry in 1901. It’s here used with a slight slant and added shadow.
