My favorite Shakedown intro. Ha-oooooo, Ha-ooooo, and BANG!

Wonderland Toronto 6/30/87 Most of the songs had something to do with the border crossing hell people had to go through to get to this show. 1 1/2 hour search of my car. First set Ramble on rose (try to walk the line), think of terror if you give this show a listen. Esp. second set other one (heat came round and busted...)> china doll (just a little nervous from the fall... it all started to make sense to me) and then cheering us all up with a Dear Mr Fantasy (something to make us all happy) I was once again at peace. I had a D5 and knew the Scarlet Fire was coming out there, had to be there, did the whole tour with a had to be there approach. Wish I could bring up the set or a link, but at work and just wanted to chime in on 6/30

85/06/30 Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD Mississippi Half Step>CC Rider>Brown-Eyed Women, Mama Tried>Mexicali Blues, Keep on Growing, Big RR Blues>Looks Like Rain>Don't Ease Me In. Shakedown Street>Samson and Delilah, Gimme Some Lovin'>He's Gone>Cryptical>Drums>Space>Other One> Stella Blue>Around and Around>Sugar Magnolia. E: US Blues. First of two monster performances at Merriweather. Band amazingly energized, check the rainbow of textures provided by Brent throughout. Keep On Growing one of four and only first setter, counting the Greek breakout 85/06/14 set 1.5. Second opens with a high water mark Shakedown, scorching final jam. Of the five Crypticals in 85, two did not wrap the Other One, this play skipping the outro. The Bobby twofer to close a romp. Praise DSO.
