Lot 744. 1981 Rolling Stones “Tattoo You” Backstage Pass. As any concert goer knows, backstage at a major rock show is like a fortress, with each consecutive inner door or barrier demanding another credential for greater access. Backstage passes, also known as Silkies or Satins, were the original indicators of such privilege. This pass from the Oct. 17, 1981 Stones show at Candlestick Park in San Francisco would have entitled the wearer to access preferred seating and all areas backstage after the show, including parties and probably introductions to the performers. Besides the Stones, the artists included the J. Geils Band and George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. This show was part of the Rolling Stones’ “American Tour 1981,” which grossed more than $50 million and set attendance and sponsorship records, some of which still stand. The pass is 3 ¾”x 3 ¾” and used (adhesive back is exposed), showing only slight wear around the edges. It is in remarkable shape considering its age and the fact that it was worn through what must have been one heck of a show!
