- ★★★★★ · Favorite Shakedown Street... · oldtourrat · 2011
I don't like the whole argument "best ever" because it is totally subjective. I do, however, like to say "favorite version ever." And this is my absolute favorite Shakedown Street. There was always something magical about the Nassau Coliseum, and the boys usually rocked out there in top form. During Shakedown, it's like the guys are using telepathy during the long jam, like their minds are on exactly the same wavelength.

GREAT SOUND!!! Did the Europe 81 shows have anything to do with them playing Nassau in MAY. Althea-)let it grow-)Don’t Ease To-shakedown-)Samson TERRAPIN-)Playin’ This is 🔥 Meltdown Out of Playin’ Bisco—your right! no Brent backing vocals But that only seems to focus Garcia and Weir to the task at hand. Drumz always better When they pound big drums Kesey sounds like a pixie. Never going wrong NFA post 🥁 A love to last more than one day… ✝️CF🌹
- ★★★★★ · a fine matrix · srtg83 · 2008
SDH is bang on. The Audience recordings "breathe" life into this flat sbd. In fact most of the '81 sbds could use a similar CPR from the fine aud recordings that now circulate.
