Summary

We head to Shakedown Street on this week's Deadpod with a fine version from Long Beach California on November 14, 1987.

A great start to this short first set, followed, somewhat unfortunately in my opinion, by 'Little Red Rooster;, but the boys more than make up for it with the rest of set including a nice 'Althea' and 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' and my personal highlight - Brent giving us a spirited 'Hey Pocky Way'

Jerry closes things with a smokin' hot 'Deal'

We will save the second set for after our Thanksgiving special next week..

0:18.8	And then we'll probably take a week and play something else and play set two following that.
0:23.9	Anyway, this is a nicely recorded show. It's a rather short first set, but it opens up with a really
0:28.6	funky shakedown street that I quite enjoy that I think you'll like.
0:34.3	Unfortunately, it follows, Little Red Rooster follows not a favorite of mine, but there it is.
0:38.8	Althea follows that very nicely played, then when I paint my masterpiece, is done quite well,
0:43.4	and then Brent pulls out one of his, one of my favorite Brent tunes, Hey Pockyway, which always gets
