Notes:
1) Occasional static/clicks/pops in the sources.
2) Cuts in the SBD between some songs. Some dropouts in C.C. Rider, and briefs cuts in LL Rain, Drums, and Other One. Other One also has some brief, shifty channel business.
3) The show appears to be seamless.

This was my first show. Went to a neighbor’s house in search of weed that afternoon. 17; senior summer… “I’m dry, dude, but you should come with us to this show … “ Split with them right there and then, barefoot with $20 in my pocket: got a ticket and “three for five,” and never looked back. Thanks for posting this; next year on the 40th, I’m gonna eat a five strip and re-live this show out in my back yard, and just sit and be thankful for all the memories. 🙏🏻🌻🐢☯️

[@SPINUNDRUM]

All the beautiful places cannabis will lead us. Thanks for sharing, I love hearing everyone's moment of how/when they found Jerry.💜

[@davetheotherone9461]

Rain cleared up, gorgeous weather, 2 hot shows, $11 Lawn tickets, 6:00pm start, Minuteman backdrop, great tapes, living in the moment… 1985

[@kevinconnell2471]

$11 lawn tickets to see this concert 🎵. Priceless ❤️🙏👍

[@georgemetesky5519]

@@kevinconnell2471 I quit going to Dead shows when the price hit $10. Saw lots of shows for $5 or $6 and I had other things to do with $10 by 1980. I think the Warfield shows might have been $15, and I went to them, but then I was really done. So wonderful to be able to hear all these shows now, at no additional cost other than surrendering our privacy to the Corporate Deathstar! I was too high back in the 70's to even pay attention to the music; I was there for the traveling acid party. Now I can actually just listen to the music!

[@kevinconnell2471]

@@georgemetesky5519 amazing I unfortunately didn’t see my first Grateful Dead concert until 1988 and the tickets back then were closer to $20

[@kevinconnell2471]

One of my favorite shakedowns

[@absolutelypositively]

The best shakedown ever

[@jenBaker707]

the second set of this show was one of my first bootlegs. I wore that sucker out. What a gem. Merriweather post, what a great place to see a band. Didnt see the dead there, but saw CSNY, Santana, Little Feat, George Thorogood, B52.s, Ziggy Marley and maybe a few others Im forgetting. Thanks for the great upload.

[@davehendricks2236]

Perhaps the best Shakedown ever. This is when the Dirty 80s got their (shake)down and dirtiest!

[@ScottEltringhamMusic]

This Cryptical Envelopment is great. I love when they play the full song

[@TheMastaSelecta]

Excellent Shakedown. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chrisgould7606]

The shakedown jam is so beyond good

[@absolutelypositively]

Sure is isn’t it my God! we woke up in Jamaica and we’re at Merriweather that evening for that shakedown opener. Not too many can say that and how great it was peace out to everybody.

[@autistichead8137]

Thank you Hunter, you cherry pick problematic eras magnificently. Although 85 was great , I was lucky enough to be at Richmond And Hershey.

[@charlesclark8568]

my first show of 200+

[@helbitkelbit1790]

Home town show.....MW Post has really gone downhill . Ever since they built Nissan pavilion in Virginia . Boy did we have some FUN !!

[@DouglasF68]

Getting ready for The Epic Shakedown. Nice matrix. I will take no pill.

[@joefelice5062]

There are only a couple Shakedowns that come anywhere near this one - the version that leads into Uncle John’s Band reprise from 12/79,and New Years 84. Not knocking any other version, it’s just high praise for the excellence!!

[@michaelsteding7720]

Check out the Syracuse 84 Shakedown from the Carrier Dome. It's a smoker.

[@jimpowell6789]

@@michaelsteding7720 Yes to all three -- 12/26/79, 12/31/84 and 10/20/84

[@jimpowell6789]

Five more kind ones are Red Rocks 9/7/85, Kaiser 11/21/85, Berkeley Community Theater 4/18/86, Shoreline 6/17/90 and Oakland Coliseum 12/16/92.

[@charlesclark8568]

$11 tickets, $3.35 per hr minimum wage for my high school junior days. Backyard show became the first of many. One of the few sellouts ever at MPP and the dead were banned afterwards although Jerry did a multi show run there (at least once) afterwards. Recall seeing them with Bobby + Wasserman opening.

[@craigsimon7658]

🎸 great music, thanks!!1985👍👍

[@Legginbass]

I was there!

[@noteecee870]

Had this on tape,then a download (Archive maybe) and woke up to it this morning 🌄!! Awesome show. Thanks KZbin for the auto play and Thank You DayJob for the primo post!!

[@LostMyDayJob]

Hey awesome, no problem noteecee!

[@jellyfishrising]

Thank You God!

Stellar 85

[@danielhubschmitt7897]

Wow cryptical

[@carycrediford7036]

This is an awesome show, great set list and audio! Thanks 😎✌️

[@onthebus11]

TY Never heard the Clapton tune too often , saw 2 shows on this tour 3/31 4/1...The Day Tripper 03/31 drove the place to a crescendo i never saw before it just erupted in the place Hummmmmmmmmm wonder what was in the air that day🚍🤡🍁

[@jimmyhawke]

Set II of this show is flawless all the way through. You know it's a great set when drums and space are equally as good as the rest of it! Oh yeah, and even Around and Around (not one of my favorites by the band (Chuck Berry set the standard for that one), even kicked ass!

[@helbitkelbit1790]

I also could leave round and round...along with Saturday night , and johnny b good .

[@absolutelypositively]

This is listed incorrectly. Unless already noted. The first set is 1984. And the second set is first set 1985. Hope this helps mixes up guys like me. As I was at both years and shakedown was prob the finest one they ever played. Greek 88 damn great too. Peace b’s and s’s!

[@LostMyDayJob]

Not sure what makes you say that but it's definitely not correct, this is the full 6-30-85 show. You can find full details for both the SBD and AUD sources used for this Matrix in the video description.

[@brentbauman3686]

Cole field house

[@RobHollanderMusic]

Many thanks. Great show! Just a general observation - wasn't 'Don't Ease' a cold shower of a set ending song? Such an anticlimax compared to the others they used to blow it away on. We used to call it a "Deadendum."

[@LostMyDayJob]

Yeah I've always thought Dough Knees was kind of a throwaway song too. I'd rather get a Deal, or Big Railroad Blues, or even Keep Your Day Job there personally.

[@onthebus11]

@@LostMyDayJob Deal was always so great end to 1st set

[@vmeglis70]

Agreed, but I always looked at it like they were giving us an extra quick tune before break..I personally love the way the boys did Don't Ease, but a Deal was always awesome..I know they always alternated songs in the ' 80's, but does anyone know if there was ever a Deal> Don't Ease to end a set?..much love, good health and happiness, to all my Dead fam out there..see you all starting in Bethel on July 1st.. staying Grateful..💀💨♥️⚡💙🎸🐺🍄🌹🎶
