Episode #111 - Dead Scraps

Last week's episode of Shakedown Stream (click on image to enlarge) had a different type of theme. Instead of playing a complete Grateful Dead show, I gathered together some of my "Dead Scraps" and put them on the Stream.

Many of us DeadHeads have many tidbits of incomplete shows. For example, the recent "Road Trips" release from Rhino records of 12/28/79, Oakland, CA. I possessed a cassette tape of the 2nd set of that show for years. I always wanted the 1st set, but for some reason, I could never get my hands on it. The thing is, many of my Dead Scraps are awesome, but because they are incomplete, they will not ever be featured on Shakedown Stream.

For instance, I have had part of 9/19/70 Fillmore East for many years, as so many other DeadHeads, but was not sure when I would have had the opportunity to stream it on mvyradio.com. It is so good and juicy that it deserves to have its' due. Also, I included the soundcheck of 2/22/74 from Winterland Arena. Some of the songs such as It Must of Been the Roses are new tunes for the Dead.

The rest of the month of February will feature Grateful Dead shows from the state of Texas. See ya next week - Jer Bear

Grateful Dead: Rocktober in Philly!

The Philly Spectrum is coming down. Yet, before they officially end the place, October is Rocktober for the Philly Spectrum on Shakedown Stream. I wish there were more weeks in the month so we could stream lots of the Grateful Dead shows at the Spectrum over the years. We will, however, pick different shows so as to cover the best spectrum of shows. Of course, 1973 is thought to be one of great years, ergo, we will pay homage to both year and venue.
