Rare backstage pass retrieved from the tragic site of the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash: a vintage unused green-and-white 3.25 x 3 backstage pass for a Lynyrd Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels Band concert at the Leroy Concert Theatre in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on October 26, 1976. The ticket belonged to former Lynyryd Skynyrd guitar tech Craig Reed, and was recovered from his briefcase at the site of the crash. Reed was a passenger on the band's tragic flight bound for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on October 20, 1977, which resulted in the deaths of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and pilots Walter McCreary and William Gray. In fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of the show itinerary for the Pawtucket concert, as well as a certificate of authenticity signed by Reed, in part: "This Back Stage Pass was in my briefcase on the Airplane crash October 20, 1977."
