Description

Lynyrd Skynyrd played the Cow Palace New Year's Eve December, 1989 and again in 1990. The former show reflected the band's success following their 1987 reunion, a group sadly missing Ronnie Van Zandt and back-up singer Cassie Gaines, and the latter heralded the Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991 Tour. Artist Tuten wanted to insert an element of danger into the band's promo and chose a snake and barbed wire, reasoning that "... the snake, barbed wire and Lynyrd Skynyrd could hurt you if you're not careful." The ornate logo, which Tuten modeled on a samurai sword hilt, was quite successful and was used to market the Tour and for the studio album subsequently produced by Atlantic Records.

The backstage is a fortress, each inner door demanding a further credential of access. Also known as silkies or satins, backstage passes were the first created insignia of such privilege. WV's collection of passes carry the credentials to get one from the fan-club after-show all the way to center-stage.
