This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

Jam>space>drum>China Doll. Slow and mysterious as the song is meant to be played.

Shakedown Street
Dec. 31, 1984
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.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

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.
