Shakedown Street is a song by the Grateful Dead and a place where people following the band set up tents and have their own community and sell their wares be it food, clothing, drugs, booze or Nitros balloons, lol. It is quite the spectacle.
Anyway, I always just called that area the parking lot. I didn't know that it had a special name.
My Deadhead friends always give me grief because the show I left was apparently a legendary one. I simply couldn't take it. The parking lot, er, Shakedown Street, was an absolute blast, though.https://youtu.be/VBwz4trY16M

1st pic is of a wook pulling a full bar around.2nd pic a person was tired and decided to hit his bowl right by the cops, lol.3&4 are of Shakedown st. Wooks a plenty. They should call it the Cantina…0

While most likely illegal, you gotta give it to the guy....the portable bar is pretty clever.
People watching on Shakedown Street/The Cantina is always a good time.
Who's the long-haired Wook in the bottom left corner of the last picture?0 -
I hope there aren't any of these "wooks" (aka dirty rotten hippies) at The Dream Syndicate show we're going to tonight, haha! Probably doesn't matter though because with my trashed ears, I may not last more than 5 minutes anyway. Which is OK because I wanted to support one of my favorite bands and at least get a taste of their live sound. And there are few bands for me that would serve as well as TDS for being my last live show. I am very determined to never go see live music again. I just don't have enough hearing left to be able to do it any longer.
There's no crying in baseball! It's been a long and wonderful trip!

JeBurkhardt said:brianlux said:Waiting waiting waiting haha, forgot about that aspect of club shows!Great, but LOUD!!! I had to wear ear plugs AND headphones, but stayed for the whole first set. The evening was a real mixed bag. I loved seeing this, one of my most favorite bands, but like most rock music today, it was too loud and I couldn't sleep much last night with my tinnitus bumped up to extreme. The songs were great and right before the break (at which point I had to leave), they played my favorite Dream Syndicate song, "Glide". That was amazing!
One sad, sad note about the show, there were probably only 3 dozen people in attendance. I can't understand how the turn out could be so low. I felt so bad for this great band who have been doing it for 40 years to only have 36 or so people show up. A major WTF.
I'm waiting for my wife to send some pictures she took on her phone. Also a 45 second clip of "Glide", but for some reason she is having trouble sending them.Thus ends my 57 years of seeing great live music. After the show we went to a quiet place with outdoor seating for a late desert and my wife expressed sadness when I told here I won't be doing any more live music shows. I told her, "There's not need to feel sorry for me! I am so luck to see so much great music all these years. And what a great way to cap it all off!"
Truly, it's been terrific!Here's the one pre-show photo she has been able to send to my email:
