Title: 1987 Licensed to Ill Tour - Guest After Show Laminate
Year: 1987
Type: After Show Party Pass
Notes: A person can only imagine what kind of "groupie" or perhaps wild fan made it backstage to party with the band as an "after the show guest."
The closest thing to being there is owning a pass that may have been there or was destined to be there. That is the case with this laminate. Created to be used on tour, many of these were left over and have been sold through various poster outlets.

Title: 1987 Licensed to Ill Tour - Photo
Year: 1987
Type: Press Pass
Notes: Although the guide here states the pass was from 1987, it could have been also from late 1986.
This pass was more than likely given out to photographers from local magazines or newspapers. Once applied to the photographer's body (these had a sticker back to them), the person could move into areas closer to the band so that they could capture closer and clearer photo shots of the Beastie Boys in concert.

Title: 1987 Licensed to Ill Tour - Working Personnel
Year: 1987
Type: Working Pass
Notes: This Working personnel pass is one of the rarer passes from the Licensed to Ill era. For some reason there seems to be hordes of the Run DMC/ Beastie passes, yet this one rarely turns up on eBay.
