Spafford is an Arizona-based jam band that made their Jam Buzz debut back in the fall with their killer tribute to Tom Petty. The 5-piece band returned to Arizona to ring in 2018 at the Crescent Ballroom.

Among the covers and originals they played on NYE, Spafford busted out a jammy take on the Grateful Dead classic “Feel Like a Stranger.” The song starts off harmless enough but then Spafford starts to jam hard on the tune around the five minute mark.

Thanks to Taper Troy for the recording. Check out the full show including the mind-bending “Electric Taco Stand” encore.
