David Crosby appeared on last night's Shakedown Stream pre-show, hosted by David Lemieux and Gary Lambert. The following broadcast was the Dead's previously unreleased Sept. 29, 1989 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif.

The long conversation with Crosby touched on his history with the Dead, writing with Jerry Garcia and more. Prior to the stream when the band announced Crosby as a guest, they shared a quote of his discussing the Dead: “Somebody somewhere, sooner or later, has got to realize that the Grateful Dead is one of the best bands in the world. And I hope that it’s more than just the people who occasionally see them do a really stupendous set. But they’re — man, on a good night the Dead is as good as it gets. Period.”
