Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

The outro jam into drums is great orchestra. Real well-played version with great Brent vocs.

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.
