Powerful Truckin' opener. Start to another one of those slinky 85 combos -- Truckin'>SS>High Time

I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

SF Civic

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.
