Joe Russo's Almost Dead - 2016-08-26 - Arrington VA (SBD Matrix)

What would a month "deadicated" to the late, great Jerry Garcia be without a post from a Grateful Dead cover/tribute band. Just shows how Jerry's legacy lives on decades after his passing. Of course, Joe Russo's Almost Dead (JRAD) has a bit more credibility than most such bands since their leader, drummer Joe Russo, was part of Furthur with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, as well as a member of the 2014 line up of Phil & Friends. This soundboard matrix recording captures JRAD on August 26. 2016, 4 years ago today, at the Lockn Festival.. By the way, I first learned about JRAD in June 2015 when they played the 6th Annual Songs Of Love Benefit Concert at Webster Hall. Songs of Love is a non-profit foundation that creates free, personalized, original songs to uplift children and teens currently facing tough medical, physical or emotional challenges.
