This is hilarious.

Want to know what the Dead lots were really like? It doesn't get more real than this.

Looks like somebody set a camera on a tripod and just let 'er rip. No fuss...no muss. I guess if you were sitting in the front seat of your VW bus at Irvine Meadows in '88 and staring out the front window, this is exactly what you would see.

The freak show is worth it alone.

Thanks, mike. I love stuff like this.

Awesome, though I gotta say everything I see looks like a subtle drug transaction.

Fascinating. I made it through one, it'd be much more proper with sound

by 94 man the Viagra was everywhere. And Low T medicine...I shouldn't joke about that, our fan base is getting there too...

Love the Super 8 '84, man; that's what I'm talking about! Sure miss those old school Shakedowns, though Blossom was pretty cool this past summer. Brought back some good memories.

Damn I miss that scene- was out of control and the spinners were so classic

why?

I love it! In my mind, listening to the music the scene always looks like Veneta Oregon 1972, Or the Fillmore east late sixties.

Great post. Thanks.

Foxboro '90 stands out as the craziest for me. Hanging out with a friend that just kept buying everything that came our way and feeding it to everyone in our group. Walking around that lot was like walking through different worlds. Every turn brought something new. Dozens of bands playing, food, beer, whatever you wanted all you had to do was reach out and it was there. There were so many vendors that the Shakedown was more like an outdoor mall. Phish lot scenes are great, but man, the Dead lots were crazy.

RFK lot was always crazy. Albany was always a gas too.

Their was that one overpass at RFK that was always crazy after the shows people were spun to the hilt and always big drum circles

Once they figured out where to put us it was great. Albany was a great lot for them and it was SO damn intense, like a movie, 'IT CAME FROM UNDER THE BRIDGES'
