The Grateful Dead have joined in on the fun and started a weekly stream on YouTube. The series, titled Shakedown Stream will share both your favorite concerts and never seen before footage of shows.
Last night, the series debuted with Truckin’ Up to Buffalo—the Dead’s much celebrated July 4th show from their 1989 tour. Sandwiched in-between shows in Foxboro and Philly, the Buffalo show was definitely one to remember—worthy of DVD, 2-CD and 5-LP box set releases.
Along side the livestream of the re-airing of the show, was a fundraiser for COVID-19 related charities. The stream raised over 20k in a single night—not too bad for the rebroadcast of a 30 year old show!
