Beastie Boys Passes Gallery

Notes: This pass was intended to be used by a photographer or journalist to gain better access to the band during the 1994 Lollapalooza tour.
The fact that it has been stamped "Beasties" makes it more desirable than had it been stamped Smashing Pumpkins or any of the other acts that played on the tour. Plus this one has the date July 15th, 1994 stamped on it so that a person can identify which city it was from.

Notes: This is one of the smaller sized Beastie Boys passes. Although it does not say Beastie Boys anywhere on it, this pass was worn by those in charge of the show production. It features the Lollapalooza like icon of the hip Buddha.
The odd thing about this pass is that it was created to be used specifically in two cities: St. Paul, Minnesota and Chicago, Illinois. Most passes are either good for the entire tour or are made specific for one night only.

Notes: This laminate pass is one of the larger sized Beastie Boys passes in existence. Several of these that have not been stamped with the name of the intended band have showed up on some of the online auctions sites like eBay.
This one happens to have the "Beastie" stamped on it, as well as the intended wearer's name below.

Notes: Who can forget the stunning performance the Beastie Boys gave us on that spinning stage at the 1994 MTV Music Awards Show.
This pass which was used at Radio City Music Hall in New York, NY was set aside to be used by those performing that night.

Notes: Here is another very rare laminate pass style that was created with the intent of being worn by those touring as part of the band's inner circle. Pictured on the pass are images taken from the Ill Communication cd booklet.

Notes: Used for the 18th of June in Birmingham, England.

Notes: Used at the Aragon Ballroom for the show on the 14th of August, 1992.

Notes: Although the band did not play very many dates while in Italy, this pass was created specifically for their time in that country. It uses the Check Your Head Glen Friedman cover photograph, but the familiar HAZE style lettering is absent.
This was the type of pass actually worn by members of the band, not to be confused with a working crew pass.

Notes: This All Access pass was used exclusively for the show in Los Angeles on November 24, 1992.

Notes: Perhaps one of the most unique Beastie Boys tour passes, this one depicts a "pimpishly" dressed gentleman and thus provides us with the sexual innuendo (while at the same time a play on words) Check Your Shaft instead of the Check Your Head.
