I saw a grateful Dead tribute band out in Kansas City, Mo . they were called " THe Shwag" dude they were so groovy. gets me in the mood to just relax and sip a cold one, by the way Russelljdj my first name is Russel too!
phish is definitely not the dead sofa king.... but I don't think it's fair to say that they suck...right? I mean, it's a matter of opinion I guess.. but I think they have tons of talent. don't you?
Well it was my opinion that they suck - a lot of my friends love them even more than the dead - just commenting on a personal preference I suppose. I just never got into any of thier songs - although singing in a vacum cleaner is kind of cool and floating around on a huge hotdog sounds cool too. I think they are a good show to watch just cant get into thier material is all.
It's a shame that I have to share this planet with ignorant, racist people like Brian Godard (six comments down). I try to defend everyone's right to their own viewpoint. I doubt this guy even has one to call his own.
good stuff bro. real good stuff. good shakedown street. just gotta poke around shakedown street best stuff in town who knows where shakedown street is???????????????????????????????????????????????
Hey now, Funny you should ask Where Shakedown Street is. I've always heard that it is in San Rafael, California. If you look at the album cover, there are several landmarks which in my opinion confirms this. 1. Rafael theatre, 2. Front street, 3. Bermuda Palms, 4. Garage wharehouses, and 4. Country Club Bowl, AND, 5. one of their rehearsal studios back then was in San Rafael.
Notice how every single character on cover has nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.
This was my disco era treasure.. another song on this album was my favorite,, can't remember it at the moment.. listened to it 100's or 1000's of thimes,, probably both- 100's and 1000's. I loveit!!!
Like but I don't love this song because it is like disco Gratefull dead. This unfortually was a path a lot grate musicians had to take in the late 70's.

Cool Song. I remember playing this new as a young, wide eyed Scrubby Disc Jockey. Of course INXS would cop this riff in their hit "Need You Tonight"

I agree this is not disco, you would know this if you knew what the song was about.
LndSofaKing1337 3 years ago
can't blame the dead for trying disco, who didn't at this time?
Rolling Stones- Miss You
Rod Stewart-Do Ya Think I'm Sexy
Kiss-I Was Made For Loving You
Grateful dead-Shakedown Street
ELO-everything
