Last Concert- Shakedown Street performed at Soldier Field- Chicago Il. 7/9/95
Shakedown Street is probably one of my favorite "kinda funky" tunes to get down to. Pearly Baker a great Dead cover Band up in Mass. does one of the greatest covers of this song. So many great memories to this tune.
Flashback-
Grateful Dead - China Cat Sunflower 1972-
08-27-72 Old Renaissance Faire Grounds, Veneta, Or. (Sun)
Springfield Creamery benefit - "Field Trip"
I wasn't even born yet when this film was taken- But- I remember Dead shows like this as long as I can remember.
Grateful Dead - Ramble On Rose - Europe 1972
Okay once again I wasn't alive yet when this film was made... BUT- The Europe 72 tour collection is by far my favorite collection ever. Ramble on Rose- is one of my theme songs to this day. I remember dancing to this song when I was 2 years old in a tie die little dress lol maybe someday when I get a scanner I'll post some baby pics :) gotta love hippy parents!
Flash Forward-Not Fade AWAY 10.13.90
I did however see this one :) this actually was one of my first shows doing Nitrous :P
I can't remember what count 90's shows had for me growing up following um for a bit etc.. but I do remember this same set in Seattle in 90' or maybe it was Eugene .. anyhoo..
Grateful Dead - El Paso - 6-26-94(in Acoustic)
So 94' was a bad year for me.. The last time I saw the Dead play was this year. I shortly there after went to Jail. And thats the end of my Dead Story. But I have to say as far as The Dead go , they are anything but for me. To this day I realize I never would have been influenced into music or "gypsy'ing" the country were it not for the Dead and my damn Hippy parents who raised me up on them. I genuinely cried my eyes out when Jerry died. My world crumbled. But I dusted off shook it off- and backpacked the states again- without the Dead being anywhere near me except in my cd player ;)
