The Grateful Dead continue to unload their video vault for their ongoing "All The Years Live" video series, and this week they're serving up a stellar 15-plus minute "Shakedown Street" from a 6/22/91 gig at Chicago's Solider Field.
"From the excellent Summer Tour of 1991, featuring the dual keyboard attack of Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby, this 'Shakedown Street' has a relentless drive and focus, typical of the Dead's performances during this era," says GD archivist and legacy manager David Lemieux, adding, "This is from the Dead's first appearance at Chicago's Soldier Field."
Of course, in later year's the stadium would hold a critical place in Grateful Dead history, hosting Jerry Garcia's last performance (7/9/95) as well as the band's July 2015 GD50 celebration, which set an attendance record of 70,764 at the venue and was credited as the biggest music pay-per-view ever.
