Shakedown Street at Dead and Company L.A.Forum 5/20/23

[@teknik12k]

Shakedown was 5 rows deep in Phoenix, haven't seen anything like this since 1995. Had a great show!

[@sportsdadpw]

Thank you !

[@danielpollak6075]

Thanks for posting-somehow, it was entertaining And a buzz kill @ the same time 😄

[@coxmeb]

Lol- I used to sell corduroy apron shirts on the lot back in the day

[@StStvNn211]

Right at 7:30 the 2 heads that pop into frame are undercover ...you see them through out the video ..he never hits the small balloon its a prop...when they walk and talk like a cop they are a cop.

[@tnfanwayne]

Sometimes Shakedown Street is just as fun as the show.

[@jahrah103]

Definitely had a great time in the lot!!!😊🌞

[@ghettopressproductions5211]

The guy in the blue shirt and hat backwards shown multiple times is definitely a cop

[@zedwolf1589]

Haven't seen the dead since Jerry died a lot has changed, from people selling some kind stuff to alter your mind and a few shirts and some hippies selling pb and j's. This looks like a swap meet for dead gear, I do like the individual art work.

[@clarkeyeatman853]

Everywhere I went in the old days, cameras were a no-no on Shakedown/the lot. I remember the cops videotaping license plates and people a few times. After all, there were massive amounts of LSD coming in to town from somewhere.

[@bouncintigger4444]

I remember that too. People did not want to be filmed.

[@InteriorFinish]

We brought a Kodak disposable camera to Vegas one year. All those first shows I went to between 78 and 81 and not a single photo. Now you see kids with Iphones that don't even take a minute to video a drum circle in the lot just tons selfies of themselves. ha

[@Eric777-r1h]

I remember my first Alpine Valley Grateful Dead show and it was really packed!!! But not "commercialized" like it is now!!! Doses, shrooms, grilled cheese for a dollar!!😊 Those days are gone forever 😢

Those were the days

Man I was lucky to be apart of the Dead in the late 80s the parking lot scene and party the drum circle's nitrous oxide better known as Hippie Crack miss those days peace

[@Kimber123]

They had that in the 90s, too.

[@waynej2608]

Yep. Those were some groovin' good days. 😎👍

[@timturk1899]

I saw at least one, large balloon. Could've just been a balloon..?! Very different from the one time I was at The Forum in 89'. Seems like a vendor "license" is needed to sell goods, now..?! Didn't see many independent artists with their unique, psychedelic art. Best T-shirts ever when tripping! I remember when they started making everyone leave the lot within 2 hours of the show, starting around the early 90's. Everyone driving away tripping balls still! Just follow the car in front of you. We were all, mostly, going to the next show, so it wasn't too confusing, lol! Great to get a view of Shakedown, and hear the music in the air. Thanks!👍💯✌️🫡

[@jahrah103]

I'm with you on that statement brother 💯%

[@christophermiller9125]

Now nitrous mafia are at every "jam band" show. Sucks! Philly scum using Latinos and African Americans that take charges get released head to next show. Don't buy from them!!

I went to a dead show in 94 love seeing the finger in the air waiting for a miracle..... But we need to see more jerry in the vid... Also it will never be like it was in the 90's crazy rad time jerry was singing loud and every thing was free the best buds foods amazing time in high school.....

[@TheGratefulHead]

Thank you! So glad you made it. 🩵

When did shows turn into Swap Meets?

[@maximusthemerciful9452]

In 1986.

​@@maximusthemerciful9452shit I take it you watched everything slowly go downhill then!? I can't imagine what it was like to actually go on tour back in the 70s n 80s dude, holy hell❤

Looking for my friend Sundance who plays guitar and miss him...anyone seen or know him?😊

He and Etta left for South America with Butch. J/k. I hope you find him.

[@richardelliott8352]

that's a completely different world from when I saw the grateful dead over three nights at the Oakland civic center. Back then it was as if hippies in micro buses came out of the surrounding hills for the occasion , and some sold a few wares by their vans parked on the grass outside of the venue to recover costs of travel. I bought some hippie beads and an organic avocado sandwich, where it was explained to me that if you had a good idea, like the guy down the way selling multicolored dancing bear bumperstickers, you could make enough money to follow the band the entire year. The folks with the avocado sandwiches were debating if they should spend the money to go in, and said they would probably just save the money because you could hear pretty well outside.

[@dougpotosky4102]

See you all in Boston! Was the second stop on my first train ride. Still on the tracks!

[@MickeyWattsDeadHead]

Total clusterfuck. Live Nation confined shakedown street to a tiny area, and it was impossible to do a pass through and really see any of the goods being sold. It was like a mobbed subway.

[@rayhuntermusic]

At least the Forum let us have this. Dodger Stadium didn’t.

[@TheHuester44]

I hope a lot of these vendors come to Phoenix tomorrow for the 5/23 show .

[@TheHuester44]

So I went to the show . As usual in Phoenix there was no Shakedown Street. Unfortunately I bought a T-shirt from the Band merchandise store inside the pavilion. I regret it as I really don’t like it . I liked the back without really looking at the front until I got back to my car . It’s an xl . If someone wants it let me know. It has the large skull on the back with tour dates which I like but the front has that skeleton with roses that I don’t like with a Dead & Company logo on it.

[@skullcrusher9165]

Before a show, there was a guy in a big glittered out Uncle Sam top hat running around saying , " Mega dose, get your mega dose" . Later on I saw the guy inside the concert venue in a side room laughing historically at a couple attempting to play ping pong, but they were laughing too hard to get much done beyond a one bounce over the net serve.

[@pbnaj]

Time moves on. Drugs are legal now, and police on the West Coast don't give a shit about a bunch of people not shooting each other. There was a certain romanticism about the illegality of it all, but those days are gone.

[@pbnaj]

You're watching what used to be a counter-culture struggling with assimilating to the present where they are merely just other people. In order to be counter-culture nowadays you have to blur gender lines or be a "nazi".....whatever that actually means now.

[@reneepina-br1of]

A shakedown with No Dogs or the bro with a cat on his shoulder ..

[@samgunderson]

Not sure. My wife and I saw the Atlanta - Lakewood show this tour. It was crazy relaxed as far as police presence and I didn't see a single incident where police were arresting anyone (unlike shows in previous years). There was full strength edibles being sold right in open vendor stalls, great buds, mushrooms, acid, molly...and any other drug anyone might have wanted being sold openly. Nitrous was everywhere, including people hawking balloons right in front of the stadium as people were parking. Cops and staff everywhere, but apparently they didn't care. There were people walking around huffing balloons everywhere and toking up with not a care in the world. Compared to previous years, it was a welcome feeling. Disappointed we could only catch one show this year and sad this run is ending. It was great while it lasted. We'll keep looking for the next experience.
