Grateful Dead Weekend Viewing: Shakedown Stream ‘Crimson White & Indigo’ Friday 6/5, Dead & Company Wrigley Field 2017 on Saturday 6/6

The Grateful Dead will host another Shakedown Stream YouTube event on Friday, June 5.

This week’s programming features a stream of Crimson White & Indigo, a concert that took place on July 7, 1989, at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia. The full live gig was released as a live album in 2010.

The stream will kick off at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on the Dead’s YouTube page, and begins with a Q&A session with Oteil Burbridge. Here’s a preview:

As has been the case for most weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the legendary jam band doesn’t let a weekend pass by without offering up some treasures from the vault, a great way to keep fans entertained at home during these strange times.
