Songs Of Their Own - #2 "Shakedown Street" Yonder Mountain String Band
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2015
- To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead, JamBase teamed with Telefunken to produce the Songs Of Their Own video series. We began with a list of 100 Grateful Dead original songs (exclusively their tunes, not covers they often played) and tapped many of our favorite artists to record a cover version either at the JamBase office in San Francisco or at one of the many venues around town and beyond. No song was allowed to be covered twice, and today’s participants Yonder Mountain String Band have “Shakedown Street” locked down.
Yonder is no stranger to “Shakedown,” having performed the song several times in recent years and on separate occasions with Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann. Though the band’s current lineup has evolved since those shows, when they came through town for a gig last month at The Fox Theater in Oakland we knew we were in for another blissfully bluegrass take on the title track to the Dead’s 1978 Lowell George produced LP.
While coordinating with Yonder, like with many of these sessions, scheduling was tight. The band was coming from a show the previous night in Reno and emails were flying back and forth between their tour manager, support staff and JamBase in an all out effort to make this recording happen. Luckily, the folks at Another Planet and The Fox Theater were kind enough to let us shoot at the venue after Yonder wrapped up their soundcheck. Shooting on-site at local venues has been essential to coordinating busy schedules, in addition to providing some eclectic backdrops for the project. And though we think JamBase HQ is pretty cool, it’s certainly no Fox Theater.

Shakedown Street is such an amazing song. If Songs Of Their Own did anything more than allow me listen to awesome music, it allowed me to see what AMAZING composers the Grateful Dead were. I've listened to the Dead since 1994. I love them. But the perspective that this series has given me is new and fresh. It has allowed me see Jerry and the boys as really excellent composers. I just never thought of the Grateful Dead in that light before.
They made music. They made really good music.
"Say it might have been a fiddle
Or it could have been the wind
But there seems to be a beat now
I can feel it in my feet now
Listen here it comes again"
This is just ridiculous and wonderful. It sounds like a very confused Irish murder ballad. A+++. Whoooo!
Mandolin was seriously badass! Well done sir!
Excellent.. I'm a sucker for a good string band and the Dead. This works for both. Great song - great rendition.
Awesome!!!
Right on, and Allie creeping it up, so clear!
Well played. Well played indeed.
I've never heard a better version of this song.
JamBase, all I know is, you have to put a DVD & CD set of this. This is fine stuff.
Agreed!
A song EVERYONEcan like...MONLEY AND THE ENGINEER. A song about tragedy narrowly averted, and my personal fave. If I get one, that is my formal request of you.
Loved it. Thanks
love the Yonder sound... sweet harmonies and fire breathing strings... appalachia psychodelic jamming... beautiful fluid guitar solo... keller-esque... and the only way I can think of to add to an already superior arrangement... ADD VIOLIN - and such nasty beautiful bowing...
love that venue
Loved it
Just HELL YEAH !!!
RIP Jeff
Loving this!
Thanks for fitting it in, nice!
Some fine pickin here.
I got it patrick. On 2 love it thank you for waking the fountain in me
Holy shit did the Mandolin just drop out of hyperspace to elfin let it rip for a quantum beat?11?? Yes he did.
how sweet. from some one who has been around quite awhile.
YEAH Banjo Slim!!! You got Ms. Fiddler goin'.
Turns out that Ben had a "dissection of his renal artery" at the time of this recording. It had begun the night before in Reno. Damn, boy~! Good on ya~!

Nice job! I saw you guys in Fairfield, instant fan.
Top shelf

Superb 🤗
Jerry would like this! xxoo
somewhere, jerry is smiling
So is Jeff...
Dear Ms. Fiddler Please meet Nash The Slash. He a dean good fiddler his self.
sharp, and a perfect wrap for me...
I love it but I laughed because it sounded like he said "sunny side of the street is doooooork!" and "tell me this town ain't got no hoooooooole"
You do know you got such dork eyes
It's the Kool aid. Just kidding. I heard it too.
Who is the new girl? She seems strong on fiddle and has a real good voice!
quartzimaging Allie Krall (sp?) she used to be in Cornmeal, was real solid in Cornmeal, probably the best actually. Check out Cornmeal when she was there, they were really good! But the founding members left so she did as well.
+George Dancy Do you happen to know why the founding members left? I did a quick Google search and didn't find anything. Thanks in advance!
Was this done at the Fox Theatre in Oakland pre show?
As a deadhead..i actually prefer your own written music since Ive actually seen you live many times for 23 yrs. Great song..great band(s). I just prefer not dead-grass when lustening to bgcm
eclecticheads
Tastey.
What is happening upper stage left? Angels of light incognito? It's weird. This song version is straight up rock solid superb, however. Grateful observation.
Great.... Just needs some drums....
dude
Maybe I had too much too fast.
We can all tell Ben doesn't have any ball$...
WEF champ u AustIN
A man bun????? WHY? you just lost all respect.
You wouldnt have even cared until you were told it was shit by the media.
Seriously, who cares? He shreds.
Says the insecure fool that is emotionally affected by how other people wear their hair... have you tried therapy?
The fact that it's hated it on like that is what makes me respect him for wearing it.
all respect huh? I've just lost all respect for you for judging a master musician on his hair style. I'm here for the music, not your trivialities.
Awesome!!
