With few exceptions, Shakedown Street, rife with blind intersections, comes across as an artistic dead end.

Unless you’re a die-hard Deadhead or hopeless sentimentalist, you have to concede that Shakedown Street effectively marks the demise of the Grateful Dead as a viable creative songwriting collective.

“Shakedown Street” embodies its time better than any of them—it’s a vivid specimen from a band that’s fiendishly difficult to pin down.

Shakedown Street wound up as a mess. It rambles and wanders all over the place.

Overall, this is a great album. Full of interesting tracks, and influence that has yet to be used by The Grateful Dead. Amazingly underrated.
