Title: 1992 The Fat Shit in '92 - All Access
Year: 1992
Country: United States
Type: All Access
Notes: If you were not familiar with the slogan "Fat Shit in '92" (which was also used on a t-shirt) you may not recognize this pass as even having been an "all access" for the Beastie Boys.
If you look more closely, you can see that Al Bundy (from the infamous Married with Children FOX TV show) has the words "Beastie Boys" on his shirt pocket.

Title: 1992 The Roar of 74
Year: 1992
Country: United States
Notes: 1992 provided us with some of the most interesting and different looking tour passes. This one is no exception. The image on this generic pass would have perhaps worked better on a laminate.
Here one can see that the fabric (sticker backed) pass somewhat compromises the integrity of the image. In other words, it is too cool to not be a laminate.

Title: 1992 The Skills To Pay The Bills Tour Year: 1992 Notes: This laminate tour pass grants all access to the wearer. The image on the pass is one that Glen Friedman took during the same photo session that the cover photo of Check Your Head was taken.
