Good Morning Brothers and Sisters of the Golden Road..........Starting off with a Shakedown!!!
6/30/85 was one of my favorite tapes back in the day. Also one of several fantastic tapes that circulated from that super hot Summer '85 Tour.
I have a story: In late 1972 a buddy of mine named Snaggle Tooth had an older brother that came home for the weekend from school. UC Berkeley! He had brought back some acid with him in which I bought 4 hits. This acid was called "Orange Sunshine". We were four of us around 16 years old, so we ended up going to a local drive-in called The Sunrise Drive-in which was located in Fair Oaks, CA. We dropped the acid and the world/universe turned into a freshly painted two-dimensional oil painting in the rain. Mind blowing to watch reality melt and drip down and flow away. I never dropped Orange Sunshine again and would never see the universe ever again melt. Acid in the early 70's was really good! Thanks for pulling this memory of the dusty shelf of my old brain 🙂
That Walkin' Blues just turned my frown upside down.
Around 1997, I received a tape of 6/30/85 II and it quickly became one of my favorite 80s shows!
I was at this show and really enjoyed it! Wasn't a big Dead guy at time. But after a few bowls and $3 Big boy cups of Schaeffer Beer. I fit right in. The Dead Head groupies were new to me. There were people in trees trying for a better view of stage. Girls very friendly and dancing hypnotic like. At one point I got a pinch on my butt.😮 Turned around some very stoned girls tripping I suppose. As for the music it was awesome! I didn't know at the time but I would become distantly related to Jerry Garcia. And have met his family and Brother. Shame I never did know Jerry though.! Cheers all✌️
Welcome to 🎶💃🕺🌵🌵
Hey, thank you much. "Grateful"ly appreciated for sure. Later Peace ✌️
You never forget your first "Satisfaction" Buddy lost his keys at this show. We found 'em. Flash lights ain't just for taping!!
I sold so much weed at these shows! This was a great run!
I probably bought some! 💚
You had weed?! Where tf were you at?! lol We could never find any, unless we just actually found it laying on the ground, on a step, on a sink, in a popcorn bucket.
Sigh....I miss those days. ---Captain Kinks and Happy Hijinx's.
Best Shakedown of 'em all! 20 years so far... amazing Let it Grow too!
Loving these '85 shows. We attended the Greek shows in June, and had the whole summer tour on cassette before things picked up again at Pembroke Pines. Art was in the air in '85!
All 3? Jealous!!!
@@DennisCampbell777 Saturday and Sunday. Couldn't get tickets for Friday, so that was our travel day coming down from Portland. Sunday's Scarlet-Fire is what I played for my newbie friends who needed a point of entry. Worked like a charm.
@@williamswanson1030 summer 85 rules.
Wow you've done it again TY DJ the D/S OTHER ONE was like a beach front ARCADE for DEADIES ❤
All I can say it was an amazing tour . My buddies and I did the whole tour from Alpine valley to Pittsburgh . Every show had its own incredible vibes.👍✌️🙏👁️🌞😊🇺🇲 & I'd do it all again in a New York minute in a blink of an eye❤️🌹🎶🎵☺️🌠🌌 Ahh,The good ole days
10 four Eleanor!❄️😶❄️❣️🤣👌❄️e
20 Years so far...
You lucky stiff. I was at Blossom and Pittsburgh but got high quality tapes from most of the other shows. River Bend show was also superb.
Good morning indeed!!! Really dig this light show bro! It's a perfect day to wake n bake :-D
In attendance for the most epic Shakedown I ever heard in my 60 shows or the 1600+ on audio! Summer Tour with my brother Steve! ⚡

Wa wa straight out of the gate, YES PLEASE! Happy Friday family, may it be groovy!
I've always liked this Big Railroad because at the end of the jam Bobby is playing this shuffle part that sounds so cool.
❤💃🕺💃🕺🌵🌵🌵
3 shows in a row the second set opener's are some of my favorite of all time. Music from Hershey Shakedown and Scarlet Fire from MD. N.F.A 65-95!!!
Thanks as always for the link...added to the Library and of of course "All the bloody wild commandments, the old man shot his way" 😎✌️
This is completely fire. Thank you so much.
Always loved this shakedown>Samson opener. Blazing.
It's not the opener.
TY Awesome show tearing the building down🦁🦁🦁
Hometown show . This venue has however , gone downhill . Nissan pavilion has taken most of the talent away.
We had alot of fun here.......alot of fun .
They still get some big name acts though right Helbit? Pretty sure Phish played there last summer and I think Dead & Co has done MPP before too. I've never been there myself but would like to catch a show there someday, there's a lot of history at that place.
@@LostMyDayJob It does have alot of history . Built in 1967 . Hendrix ,Doors , zeppelin and many others . Like everything else , it's gettin old , seems they "renovate" it every couple of years . Nissan can provide more attendance , nicer dressing rooms ( you get the idea
Ugh, Nissan Pavillion in VA is an awful venue. Merriweather is much better. Saw my first show there, which was also the Dead’s first show at Merriweather, 6/20/83, in the torrential rainstorm
I feel ya. RT. 29, Scaggsville, Dorsey, College Park, Takoma Park. Baltimore to D.C.
Peace.
@@stefanschleps8758 If your ever in Annapolis.... email me . Dinner on me
SPLENDID 🙂💥💥❤
Fanfuckintastic!!!🤙🏻💕
The shakedown sounds better on the aud.
Definitely an argument to be made there, the crowd reactions are pretty great. I do have the Hunter Seamons Matrix of the full 6/30 show posted as well, which blends this SBD source together with the Oade AUD tape. czcams.com/video/btrQgsA-kvU/video.html
@@LostMyDayJob IDK, I really enjoyed hearing this Shakedown jam I damn near have memorized in such sparkling sound quality. Had the tape for years. Thanks you WOS
Great stuff but this shakedown is one of the most over rated pieces of dead music ever
It's definitely very well-known, and I think there are several better versions out there, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it overrated personally. It's still a great Shakedown, Bobby carries a lot of the jamming with some awesome guitar work.
I'd say it's in the Top 10. They didn't play that many, and most of the later versions weren't great.
Shakedown sucks in general. 😆😅
LOL damn! I'm gonna give you a pass for that one because you're cool Stefan, but nah Shakedown rules. But hey every Deadhead has at least one bad take right? 😂
@@LostMyDayJob Well, it beats Feel like a Stranger by a league. 🤪😅
All joking aside, I do that a lot, all Grateful Dead is like Pizza. No such thing as bad pizza, if you like pizza. Just some is better than others. It may be sacrilege to some, but in my defense I think all Dead Heads are, by nature, irreverent individuals. Would Jerry agree? We are the outliers, we hear the beat of a different drum, we think outside the box, we think for ourselves. God bless the Dead.
Thanks for carrying the Test forward. You are one of the few Standard Bearers. And we salute you.
I gotta go to work.
Peace.
Thanks home-slice. Is this a mix of both nights? (I can't remember the set lists though we were there for both nights. Nor am I sure what they played the year before when we were also in attendance.) One thing I clearly recall is the price of ecstasy. MDMA was still legal on the 30th of June, and the designer drug laws went into affect on the 1st of July 1985. Designer drug laws refer to those drugs that are a molecule in difference from the original drug. In this case the original "Love Drug" was MDA. It went into legal limbo in the late sixties or early seventies, clever chemists, including A.S. changed a carbon or methyl group and came up with MDMA which was legal for almost twenty years. Deigned to get around the law, your Representatives in Congress designed laws criminalizing them. Anyway, on the 30th 125mg. tablets were running at between $2-$3, but the following day the scalpers had hijacked the price to $5, and still had problems selling it on either day, as back then most everybody dosed everybody else for shits and giggles, fun and freedom. Thanks for sharing.
Support your local Union.
Wow interesting Stefan! As always the criminalization failed to accomplish its goal and just made things more dangerous and harmful. It's a shame. Anyway yes this is a compilation from both nights, the track list in the description shows performance dates ✌
The same unions who negotiated their members out of jobs ?
Broening highway , Sparrows point , Bethlehem Steel . LOL.....love jawing with you "Stefan"
@@helbitkelbit1790 There are traitors everywhere. We are better off with Unions than without them. If you are unaware of all the good that Unions have gained the American workforce you might want to inform yourself. Unions are a force for good. Check it out. If there's a bad Union rep its because they/he or she, sold out, not because Unions are inherently a bad thing. You have a minimum wage and a forty hour work week because of Unions, and much more that most people ignorantly take for granted. Henry Ford used these changes to placate his employees. These efforts, nation wide, including those of the Teamsters, and other major Unions, strong armed the Federal Government to step in and make these changes the law of the land. Unions are 100% American. Its about freedom of choice and justice. Without unions the worker is no more important than a slave to management. The owners did, and do, use men up and then spit them out, getting filthy rich on their sweat, blood and tears, giving them nothing in return. Unions forced a more fair sharing of the wealth. America has a long way to go. Eventually we will get to the place where a middle income family of four can be supported by the efforts of one man. Take a look at the bigger picture world wide and you will see the good Unions have done. Never trust management.
Look at Twitter, Amazon, Starbucks and ask the employees there if Unions are a good thing. Peace young man.
@@LostMyDayJob I appreciate your choice of shows. Yes, unfortunately greedy, fearful and ignorant men will always seek to control that which is free and benevolent, anything that undermines their power structure is seen, rightly or wrongly, as a threat to their system, but ultimately, on a long enough time span, justice will prevail, but I ain't got that much time. I need's me's mine's now, feel me?
@@stefanschleps8758 settle down son...settle down . Yes , I realize management would still have children working 12 hour days . But just like management , the unions are run by a few
