April 8 (UPI) -- The Grateful Dead will start streaming a weekly concert series.
The series, titled Shakedown Stream, will premiere Friday at 8 p.m. ET on the rock band's YouTube channel. The first episode will feature Truckin' Up to Buffalo, a full screening of the Grateful Dead's Fourth of July concert at Rich Stadium in New York in July 1989. The 21-song set included "Morning Dew," "I Will Take You Home" and a cover of Bob Dylan's "When I Paint My Masterpiece." Shakedown Stream premieres as people stay home and self-isolate amid the coronavirus pandemic."We've decided to start the streaming video series with the Buffalo '89 show for a couple of primary reasons," Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux said in a statement. "Its excellence is indisputable and is something that we think pretty much everyone will enjoy in the absence of actually being to see live concerts; and, as a tribute to the many rabid, loyal Dead Heads from the hard-hit tri-state area, which has been affected more than anywhere else in the country."
Lemieux and historian Gary Lambert will host a live Q&A prior to the screening. Fans can submit questions for the pair online.
Shakedown Stream benefits the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.
Next week's episode will feature the Grateful Dead Movie (1977) and clips of the band's 1974 shows at Winterland in San Francisco, Calif.
Dead & Company, a band consisting of former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kruetzmann, along with John Mayer, is slated to begin a U.S. tour in July.
