Grateful Dead - Shakdown Street (10-30-1980)

[MrPardo3]

Disco DEAD love it!!!! Thanks for the video and the sound is really great

[phishinvan]

@chinacat9090 I've been all over that for years. Thanks for the advice though. I've also found setbreak.com to be very helpful for killer SBD GD shows. And nugs.net has about 20 good GD shows for clean download.

[phishinvan]

Man, I love Brent. People (me included) are all about '77 era Dead, but I really dig the early 80's stuff. To each his own. Especially for this band. It's all good to me, but a band whose career spans so much time and so many different feels, its nice to be able to pick a time where there is a certain something that you like. Good old Grateful Dead!

[MrJas1991]

Funkadelic nectar

[borntrippin]

This version of shakedown street really is shakin, to coin the phrase from an old rock n roll number, Whole Lotta shakin going on!!

[geddyleon]

This looks like Radio City music hall!!!! Based on what Bob and Jerry are wearing. I think it may be featured as an extra on the DVD.

[GenMathis74]

improvisational rock music 101.. had to change my pants during this one!

[mdbee5]

where did you get this video/ recording, i'm trying to find it?

[colu1492]

i picked up the song where the video starts peace friscobay01

[wcupmartin6]

perfect example of why this band was so solid, for so long.

[katew420]

man i wish this was the full song....this is my favorite show ever.

[GregoryPecary]

@MrMeddled Thank God. Any more gain and he'd shake your kidney stones out...

[einetutterauchen]

@jwindyboy maybe it's all that hey-ron he does

[spentarts2]

28 hours before i was born,, fucking funk man.

Day of The Dead Soon

and its my birthday thats pretty hip if i do say so

[borntrippin]

This is spectacular, those who can't dig the rythm, just don't get it!!

[YEMbyphish]

Oh man this is great, i have not heard this version before, very chill, thanks..

[db5sons]

Great video

[TheChinaRider]

this is what happens when the MUSIC plays the BAND.

[lupelicious822]

@TheChinaRider Agreed. Just check out the 4:32 mark till about 4:50 where the camera pans form Bill to Phil to Bob... eyes closed keeping the jam going... till it comes back full circle to Jerry. It's all feel and instinct at that point. I miss them.

[Mateoface]

I listen to alot of punk, (Mainly Ska beach stlye Sublime,Pepper, etc) hardcore, plus some heavier stuff but Im very eclectic and like all types of music ... I have been listening to alot of The Dead lately and I have to say that as improvisational artists They were amazing ...This song opened me up to them in the frst place and I was wondering if anyone could suggest any more "Disco Dead" I should check out? Ive been finding alot of bluesy bluegrass jams and am looking for their funkier stuff.

[db5sons]

@Mateoface  All Dead is, greatful dead / The dead/ Ratdog/ Phil and Friends/ Further/ Rhylem devis

[easywind1975]

@Mateoface Slippery slope my friend, I started with DC Dischord stuff in the early 90's to arguing best 70's Dead soundboards with folks. Keep your mind open and you'll discover a ton of great music that has been made and is still being made.  Never started wearing tiedye myself though!

[HempForVictory]

@Mateoface -Dancin in the street (try 5-11-77 for what you're looking for, and 5-11-78 is funny and rockin, haha). West L.A. Fadeaway. Scarlet Begonias? but easywind1975 is right.

[Pucknut3ond]

@Mateoface Check out Terrapin Station

[ibanezguitar1]

this video is great

[FishLocal]

@davidsliltruck - If you don't like GD don't listen...or comment! Don't trash what you don't understand

[fzfan21]

Thanks for posting

[hoot6theyre]

who the bleep plays like Garcia...

[erpmarlo13]

If you think The Dead were terrible then why are you listening and watching them?Nothing better to do? I don't like Pepsi but  I'm not gonna write a letter to the company telling them how much I dislike their product!

[borntrippin]

Have you got da funk and da rythm!!

[admoody]

i'm all about the jams where Jerry uses an envelope filter effect on his 6-string

[santacruzmarco]

I wuz THERE at this one,,,,,YEaAH ....30 years ago...jfc.

[davidsliltruck]

the dead,,,music  lame but the drugs....no one seemed to mind they were terrible... in fairness jerry was better than the band deserved!!

[weiliiiiiii]

@davidsliltruck You have never been to a show I guess, that is a huge statement to make, I would not make a statement like that about something I knew nothing about.

It was never about the drugs, sure people took drugs at shows, but it was about the band feeding off the crowds energy and the crowd feeding off the bands, that by itself is like a drug. They could take you places just with the music they played if you opened up to it. Anyways God Bless you man, hope you listen to more dead.

[smokesomebuddah420]

oh what i would give to go to another dead show

[ashasage420]

your supposed to noodle. this is when we all would be boogie-ing down. im a huge shakedown lover, never met one I didnt loose my shizzle to. i love this one.

[borntrippin]

If this ain't funk, den you ain't funkee!!!

[rotolo]

[corinnenc]

Deadgasum :)

[borntrippin]

[shakedown5000]

[borntrippin]

The masters!!!!

[wigginoutman]

INSANE !!! Everyone is on fire here. My appreciation for Bob Weir has grown so much over the last few years. My appreciation for Brent has never wavered...

[subslament]

He sounded great at All Good Festival this passed year. I could hear the set from my campsite and I made it for the last track.

chinacat sunflower / I know you rider.
