Shakedown Street
March 18, 1990
Civic Center

Brent sets this version on fire. He provides so much energy that the band is feeding off and brings the jam to an insane crescendo. One of the best versions that showcases not only a funk section but an awesome peak that most versions in the 70s lacked.

Around 35:40 they could have easy transitioned into Dear Prudence. Awesome version, first time listener.
