Chef Free
Beat the scaplers scored a free ticket and slipped in just as Big Boy Pete started. Best Shakedown I ever saw.
This show was awesome! I can remember the lights dim for the second set. The boys come out. I was close to the stage, between bobby and phil. The 1st note of Shakedown and the red lights sweep up into my eyes. Feels like yesterday and it gives me chills. Listen to this Shakedown. Listen to this show. A CLASSIC.
this was one of my favorite shows not only was i in the front row but with my good buddy dome we both knew what a special show it was. the honey dripped from the speakers
Just got the dvd of this show. Yep the Shakedown was worth the price of admission. Glad i was there. What a great scene outside. The real deal fo sho. peace pot microdot
1985 had many highlights. many many Yet this night here I think everything came out just right. Ya the crazy fingers is off but the show itself was on the money. Last she belongs to me. post drums was intense to say the least. And Walkin the Dog encore. Not to meantion Big boy pete

Location
I had been to one show previously to this one, Nov 2, 1984 and had fun, but didn't really get it. For this night at the Kaiser, I stood close to the speaker stack near the Phil side and was my soul was blown inside out. I was in perfect mind set (wink) too, and I was surrounded by five or six of my closest friends and just remember feeling I could dance into and disappear completely into the music and the loving crowd. I remember walking in to the venue and feeling like I had stepped into a womb of fun.
Afterward, I felt I could fly.
I would forever make Grateful Dead shows part of my life from that point forward.
I soooo miss them.
