"We did some of our best networking over grilled cheese sandwiches and lines at the port-o-potties." The Shakedown Stream podcast on mvyradio.com is primarily focused on the music of the Grateful Dead. We feature specific Dead shows from a specific venue and specific date and year. However, the Dead scene was just as important, if not more, as the music. The parking lot was where deadheads communicated with each other, sold t-shirts, held drum circles, bought tickets and developed social skills that could not be found in other place in our society. Dare I say, it was an early form of Facebook or Twitter. We learned how to connect with people we did not know, but shared an interest in the same band.
An article in "socialtext" speaks to the Dead scene … http://www.socialtext.com/blog/2013/11/social-sharing-at-a-grateful-dead-show/#sthash.g8HiTKjh.dpuf
Shakedown Stream is a weekly Grateful Dead radio/podcast show hosted by Jer Bear. It is 4 to 5 hours in length. The first hour is a mix of old, rare, new, favorite and interesting songs of the Grateful Dead. Then Jer Bear plays a show - in its' entirety - selected from their 30 years run from 1965-1995. Afterwards, some more chestnuts may be played to help listeners ease on out of the Stream.
