A great one from summer '90. Vocals are crisp, musically the organ work is great and the band is tight and all in the flow.

Jerry solo for most of it with some effects from time to time. Unique. And then it goes into Dew

This song is not really in a "heady" format, but I always liked it as a 1st set tune. This version is well.played as is this show.

Yes 1984. I love the ups that happen in this year. This version has a lot of great energy from the boys. Mid-song solo is very strong.

Hahaha this shakedown is so sick. This is the best Shakedown intro ever. A rolling thunder start with the band at the ready. This Shakedown does not have any let up throughout. It's just silky funky Shakedown goodness.

Tight tight jam with Jerry and Brent in the zone together. The boys had Shakedown all dialed-in early in '82.

All band members are dialed-in here to create one of the most sublime jam peaks!

Loved the funky Shakedowns in 1979. Brent used a new sound for the jam in the Fall and it's great. This Shakedown is definitely one of the best .

Love this version. Possibly a bit lost in a very strong show. Jerry tears up the second solo.
