Dead & Company - Shakedown Street (Madison Sqaure Garden 11/12/17)

[@JA-io8nx]

Dead & Co soundman: "how many envelope filters do you want for the guitars?" Dead: "All of them"

[@kevbotchill]

😂😂

[@GreensnGuitars]

Thats an octave pedal over a qtron or similar not mult env filters

[@GreensnGuitars]

That sound man has nothing to do with the pedals either it's his guitar tech

[@patton303]

Mayer just carving a path of glorious beauty with an envelope filter. Loving the down tempo.

[@aubreyrose33]

My first Dead show ever! Flew down from Canada for both nights at MSG. A Shakedown opener is always killer

[@song-rz6hi]

This is NOT Shakedown but a zombie-like mimicking of Shakedown

[@agropsychonaut]

Very cool. ANY first show is. Wish you could have seen original, but the spirit still lingers. Didn't think i'd ever go to Dead and Company but they'll be far too close at SPAC for me to not, even tho i hate SPAC sound...

[@analogkid4957]

I like how Dead and Company are performing renditions of classic Dead Songs such as Shakedown Street. It’s a bit different but its introducing the music to a whole new younger demographic of new Dead fans.

[@CL-js1fb]

This is not a Dead show. Claiming that you went to a Dead show would not be a true statement. This is your first Dead & Co. show.

[@jahrojasexqsys5238]

I didn't fully understand john Mayer's voice in terms of grateful dead songs...maybe the first few i heard weren't the best representations...but now that i have listened to a few dozen hours of live D&C...holy smokes...these guys do some incredible harmonies, vocal improv...call and response...just so cool. I think this is definitely one area where D&C shine bright!

[@kaysenjaxon9571]

Instablaster.

[@2911sagar]

Yeah I think his voice is what makes him very different from Jerry so it can be confusing at first. But man, he kills it.

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I loved to go to the Boston gardens with the band

[@patriciaintveld2014]

I don’t want to seem to be making a negative comment about Jerry ; who was great and was main man of THE GRATEFUL DEAD❤️ But I feel John Mayer saved the GD! Yes he’s not “”Jerry” but, he’s added an amazing addition and seems to be well liked by Bobby! Also, adds more life to the 💀 Dead

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I really like him ,he has become the best replacement that could b

[@mbass718]

This was such a great night! Love Oteil really laying into the Funk of Shakedown!!

[@user-gh9si3po8t]

Love all the criticism about tempo here. Now I understand. This fan base takes every song and performance personally. There seems to be sense of ownership of each song between the performers and the audience. The continual variations of each song lends to what could be an experimental experience for both. The fan comes knowing THIS show will be different. That in turn, puts no limits on expectations. When it's on, its like heaven, and most fans express it. When its off in certain fans experience, it is expressed, here in comments. Don't think it affects the musicians judgement. The improvisorial nature of the band is a main factor in what attracts their fans. My personal approach is like trying a new cannabis strain. You know it will be enjoyable experience. Its the unlimited expectation that it may take you to a place you have never been before. That's what you keep going back for. Same songs and performers........new experience expectations.

[@markcefalu8301]

I can have the day from hell and when I listen to the Dead it reminds me of the things to be Grateful for, thanks for keeping this alive. Jumped on the bus in late 70’s. Peace to you. :)

[@RhythmWalker1]

YES!!!! Walk that guitar! This sound is good for you JM. Keep it funky for a while.

[@brianmcbride1975]

Great music still. I love continued transformation of the music. Thanks guys. Keep it coming.

[@marcosluna7792]

That poke around!

[@song-rz6hi]

Thank you boys!!

[@miklosweiner9300]

Do you enjoy it more than you did two years ago?

[@418Abdul]

good stuff man you betcha

[@salvijus9]

Pure magic, I'm glad I heard this, makes my day.

[@chrisfromkc5698]

John’s guitar sounds an awful lot like it did on his track “Rosie” which not coincidentally was released this very same year (2017) on The Search For Everything

[@willyabraham6576]

no question the deads are back!

[@jordanlacombe4318]

I was there behind the stage!!!

[@agropsychonaut]

I was too! Down the road about 300 miles, but behind the stage!

[@philipbarton2634]

Bob is grooving! Very cool.

[@johnwhiteman7483]

NICE

[@Kevo420-13]

Slowdown St?

[@TTttt293]

I was there!

[@joemello6446]

8:34 buuuuckle up!

[@patriciaintveld2014]

Bobby made a great choice! John is one of 2-3 top guitar players and is soooo dedicated to any musical task!

[@jordancressley3634]

They opened with this at the Bristow show I went to. Absolutely sick! Such an entertaining band

[@musicandotherstuff0045]

Well then hey there neighbor! I went to the 2016 show! I missed last years show unfortunately.

[@BillKinsman]

Can't wait to see you at the Shoreline and the Hollywood Bowl next week!

[@ksmui164]

Nice I went Shorline and the Bowl in 2019. Be at the Bowl all three shows in October 😊

[@bunnybeckman8029]

They r amazing!!

[@sherilynnbettevy8833]

Round and round 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥round👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I do love John he did bring back the dead !

[@17thshard62]

I've been on a Vulfpeck kick recently, and this is just what the doctor ordered. These guys know how to use silence and downtempo just as cleverly as the Sleepify album did, with the added bonus of sounding better live.

[@elifrancisco9318]

Porra pense numa banda do caralho. Sempre bom ter manos com a presença do Bob fazendo esse revival dessa banda incrível.

[@penajordy9562]

I love this guys but dammmm,are they playing in slow motion???

[@Rmag44xPITT]

New to guitar…. Anyone know what type of pedal makes that funky sound?

[@mikeygoda]

mutron or some kind of envelope filter

[@seans594]

You'll also hear it called an "auto wah"

[@guusverschuuren8495]

electro harmonix q tron

[@sherilynnbettevy8833]

Oh yea’ love this...if this doesn’t move you I don’t why lol cause it’s super😁😁😁😁👌👍👌👍👏👏👏👏✨✨✨✨🌹🕊🕊🕊

[@ianmurawski8165]

Ian murawski is going back on his tour and we’re gonna call this tour back on track

[@TylerStanley-ev6og]

Man who would have thought Grateful Dead and Mayer would be the perfect pair (other than folks that know way more about music than me 😂)

[@Princesslilly12]

This is around 85 bpm compared to the studio version at around 110bpm

[@motowizard4444]

Can someone help me understand why the tempo is so far off the original?

[@mattpelofske4632]

Ask bobby

[@Charlie-zj3hw]

Go watch JRAD if you want the fast tempo

[@joeryan1369]

That's one of the things that throws me with this band,the tempo.

[@Charlie-zj3hw]

@@mattpelofske4632 def Bobbies call

[@colinboyd9514]

Cosmic Charlie Nah mickeys the real ringleader

[@GratefulRob]

This sounds amazing at x1.25 speed

[@Kristian179]

it's closer to the original @ 1.25

[@goodgulfgas]

I know, so slow. I put it on custom @ 1.15

[@GratefulRob]

@@goodgulfgas I'll meet ya in the middle at 1.2. LOL

“Tell me this town ain’t got no heart”

[@JonnyBaryshnikov]

Bad to the bone!!! Tell me this town ain’t got no heart! Best Damn Band in the Land!

[@amandajones4173]

Love the funky psychedelic vibe. PS- I definitely ‘had too much too fast’. Lol. Still trying to recoup from the 80s and 90s (hell, and the 2000s!)

[@gregberry1812]

Slow is the new fast. Deal with it!

[@namcat53]

[@ernestancrum7373]

Powabunga chilluns! Beat the funk out of that town, boys

[@roncarter2188]

Gotta love the auto-wah pedal!

[@arvind030892]

Is it auto-wah or an envelope filter?

[@dylanflorig7839]

Arvind Venkat Envelope filter

[@straightmanforever69]

Gotta love that metal zone pedal

[@dima_r6]

1.15x speed brings it back to life kinda

[@Unoriginalswine]

Dead and Co? More like Dead and slow jesus

[@ColeSotil]

John like Elihu. 👍

[@gerrysongs4170]

The bass slide down was the best part of the song and it always gets left out. Bummer!

[@lukeclover3420]

If this were any slower, it would sound like Shakedown Street being played backwards

[@MJsap13]

I think the percussion throws everyone else off in the band. Their timing is awful

[@strattt10]

Agree 100%. I feel like i'm on candid camera. Love this song but this version is painful! Especially Bob singing it!

[@bunnybeckman8029]

John does so well I’m sure Jerry would b proud❤️🐰🐇🌹✌️☮️👽🪐🦞😘

[@agropsychonaut]

Mayer high as hell...

[@lindag8073]

J Martin yup!

[@bd2062]

Nice version of Shakedown

[@DaddySturgill]

Makes you appreciate Jerry so much more

[@31mbur]

John is amazing and a better vocalist then Jerry.

[@analogkid4957]

I like John and I know Bobby, Bill, and Mickey are all appreciative of John as Jerry’s replacement so to speak. John is an extremely talented guitarist and plays the music with a certain passionate energy

[@2911sagar]

I know your stupid ass meant it as an insult but Yes because it's so amazing that it makes you go back and listen to whoever was behind this amazing song. John kills it though.

[@namcat53]

@@31mbur ?

[@AJGantt395]

I wanna feel what Mayer is feeling😂

[@Perromedico]

Ehhhhh...I'm not too sure here...

[@benhi8541]

playback speed -> 1.25 🔥🔥

[@Unoriginalswine]

God they play so slow its crazy..that would drive me nuts

[@barbbush9573]

Why is is so damn slow?!

[@johnm3152]

First heard this version while in an elevator. Right after an uptempo version of "The Girl From Ipanema".

[@song-rz6hi]

totally agree, John. This sucks!!!!

[@Perromedico]

@@song-rz6hi More so ,after ya seen it with Jerry,Keith ,Donna,&Brent...this is lame

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I like his shirt too

[@charlie.something]

Glad they're still out there doing it, I guess, but this is probably the worst Shake I've ever heard. I've heard them all.

[@johnnytoobad7785]

Jackie Greene and his band did a much better version of this song with much less equipment in St. Paul MN a few years ago. And he kicked off his set with a great version of Bertha..

[@rocknrollson9440]

don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart.

[@bunnybeckman8029]

He’s good to look at also

[@ericwhyte9804]

Worst version of shakedown I've heard. Worst incarnation of the dead ever. Here's a suggestion... write something new and don't let Mayer sing ever

[@HBC423]

Maybe the dark is from your eyes

[@slayer51811]

Slow tempo. Bob's okay here, but I miss Jerry singing and playing his iconic guitar.

[@betsyduane3461]

So slow

[@LordGreystoke]

Sound so out of gas, you know? But I really do give the dead credit for continuing to burn the midnight lamp.

[@song-rz6hi]

I feel like doing a mash-up between this lugubrious Shakedown and Chopin's "Funeral March".

[@krissantos6624]

Interesting, I'm going to have to give that a try. I love the diversity found in us deadheads. Peace and Love

[@scottywans2788]

Great..one of my favorites! ..."the girl from Ipanema goes walking..."

[@lilibordei721]

I love Bob but I feel like you could take him out of the mix and only miss the odd weird squeak.

[@gclark12412]

No way!

[@willpalmer8894]

what? he is the dead

[@briandrum1]

Going around KZbin listening to some different Shakedown’s. Got to this one. I get it; it’s cool that Bobby, Mickey and billy are still playing, but this is just all sorts of bad.

[@analogkid4957]

A lot of people like it - it’s a matter of opinion

[@song-rz6hi]

Tempo, tempo, tempo, boys!!!! This is the Lawrence Welk version.

yeah, you said that 16 times. Had to change my 8 to a 16 when i read Further...

John looks so wasted ......

I can drive a van between the notes. Speed it up, boys!

[@danielhiggins5907]

This it's sooooo sloooooooooow

I can go to the fridge, make a sandwich, and come back-- between notes. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz...

Very good....there are so many good ones here...

The divergent supermarket subsequently borrow because toy intradurally drum a a symptomatic gun. bizarre, aberrant breath

Apparently impossible now.

now, the easy listening sound....
