'73 was a special year for He's Gone. Could Keith play any sweeter than on this version? I think not.

Man did I ever love Sugar Mag sandwich 2nd sets. It always signalled a dance marathon ahead. Add in my favorite Brent transition ever to Scarlet.

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.
