*Shakedown Street*\'s title track shows the Dead adapting shockingly well to the disco era, transforming their normal rhythmic interplay into a slick, grooving strut. The remainder of the album sees them tackling similarly funky sounds. The rough-edged blues of \"I Need a Miracle\" and the Caribbean-tinged \"Fire On the Mountain\" would become setlist staples, and their Latin-flavored version of The Rascals\' \'60s rock classic \"Good Lovin\'\" is one of the band\'s most beloved covers.
