Shakedown Street is the tenth studio album by the Grateful Dead, released on November 15, 1978. Produced by Lowell George of Little Feat, the album marks a notable shift in the band’s musical direction, incorporating elements of disco, funk, and R&B into their signature rock and psychedelic sound. The title track, “Shakedown Street,” became a standout song, known for its infectious groove and reflective lyrics.

The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, showcasing the band’s versatility and willingness to experiment. Songs like “Fire on the Mountain” and “I Need a Miracle” have since become staples in the Grateful Dead’s live repertoire. Despite mixed reviews upon its release, with some fans and critics divided over the band’s new stylistic approach, Shakedown Street has gained appreciation over time for its adventurous spirit and catchy tunes.

The album cover, designed by underground comix artist Gilbert Shelton, adds to its distinctive character, depicting a vibrant, cartoonish street scene. Overall, Shakedown Street captures a unique moment in the Grateful Dead’s career, reflecting their openness to new influences and their ongoing evolution as a band.
