Shakedown street

Don’t laugh. This track is a personal fave. I was 13 years old and in a pool bar that I shouldn’t have been in when they played this album and I just felt so grown up and it was my first exposure to the dead.

I’ve been thinking a lot about which songs have the definitive version on the studio album in which have the definitive version on a live album in which have definitive versions of both. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a live version of shakedown Street. Does anybody know if theres a live version out there?

update: thank you so very very very very much to all the great suggestions. Two observations. One it’s amazing that everything is a bootleg and that there is no official version of this on Spotify. And two holy crap there are so many great cover songs out there that I was unaware of on these bootlegs. Iko iko, gimme some lovin, etc. I’m a pig in shit right now trying my best to thank and respond to you all 🥰
