The record

Title: Grateful Dead – Shakedown Street
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1978, Psych rock, Jam Rock, San Francisco, CA
Condition: VG plays well with some light surface noise

Cultural Facts:

  1. Band Drama: Made during internal strain and money pressure; the band’s business machine was growing faster than the “commune band” myth could hold it together.

  2. Studio Lore: Lowell George (Little Feat) was brought in to tighten the sessions, but the relationship got tense—his perfectionism clashed with Dead looseness.

  3. Media Narrative: “Shakedown Street” became literal: the parking-lot economy exploded into a floating marketplace, turning the Dead into a traveling micro-society.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
