Full Show Friday: Joe Russo's Almost Dead 10/2/15 Brooklyn Bowl

We search the murky back waters of youtube to find full concerts and post them to the site weekly, come back every seven days to help us celebrate Full Show Friday's.  These shows are of varying quality and may not be here for long so enjoy them while you can...As always, please support the artist every which way, but especially by seeing them live (if they are still playing)...This week...Joe Russo's Almost Dead!

We have discussed this group of players before here, but the full group of Joe Russo (drums), Marco Benevento (Keys) Dave Dreiwitz (bass) Tom Hamilton (guitar) Scott Metzger (Guitar) are an adept bunch of players who breath life and energy into the Grateful Dead's catalog. JRAD don't hold the music sacred, they know it is living and breathing, amping up the pace when needed and delving into the bands enormous back catalog.

It is simply the best "Dead" related playing we have heard since the days of the Phil Lesh Quintet.  Yes, that includes this summer and any project the original members have been a part of.

This show can't get any fresher as it comes from last Friday night at Brooklyn Bowl. We were seeing the TTB on the upper west side, so it is great to hear/see/experience this show from across the river. Our personal highlights from this one are the killer "Standing On The Moon> Wheel" combo and the pairing of our favorite Springsteen song "Atlantic City" with "I Know You Rider". This is a hell of show, pro shot, pro sound.
