Shakedown Street - Grateful Dead

This jam pretty much speaks for itself, but I will say one thing about it: for those among your crowd of party-goers who claim to 'hate' hippie music, or think the Grateful Dead is better left in the closet, this jam could possibly change their whole outlook.

Representing the Dead's satirical offering to the disco age, Shakedown Street turned out to be one of their most popular, cross-demographic hits. So please, regardless of who is at your party, focus more on the energy of the crowd. Being a disco-themed anthem, ou may want to sneak this carefully into a playlist that is similar to the example I have provided below:

...
...
24.)Boogie Oogie Oogie - Taste of Honey
25.)Get Down Tongiht - KC and the Sunshine Band
26.)Shakedown Street - The Grateful Dead
27.)Shinning Star - Earth, Wind and Fire
...
...
36.)Scarlet Begonias > Fire on the Mountian - The Grateful Dead
...
...

Ok, I was kind of pushing with that last set of jams. Jams though they may be, it is asking a lot of a given crowd to sit through what could be up to a half-hour of classic jam material. So, that ain't recommended.



btdubs...keep in mind when you're watching this that Jerry will be dead in less than 3 months.
