Update: Listen to John Mayer’s Blazing Sit-in With Joe Russo’s Almost Dead in LA – 11/9/2018 Full Show SBD

Update: Thanks to Eric McRoberts and Peter Costello for the SBD Matrix of this awesome show!!

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead are halfway through their final run of 2018. Russo and his crew played two nights at the Wiltern in Los Angeles and are heading north to Oakland for a pair of shows in Oakland.

Dead and Company guitarist, John Mayer made a surprise appearance for the second set and encore. Introduced as “Instagram’s John Mayer,” Johnny Lightning didn’t take any time getting warmed up. Half way through “The Wheel,” Mayer busted out an ethereal, face-melting solo that set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Watch John Mayer Sit-In with JRAD for “Althea,” “New Minglewood Blues,” & More at Brooklyn Bowl – 10/13/2017 Full Show AUD

While Mayer has blossomed into one of the scene’s best guitarists, his role in Dead and Company doesn’t lend it’s self to a lot of experimenting. JRAD on the other hand is all about experimenting, getting far out there and jamming the hell out of Grateful Dead tunes. It’s a treat to see Mayer open up along side one of the best jam bands on tour today.

Listen to Joe Russo’s Almost Dead Blazing St. Louis Opener – 2/15/2019 AUD

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead made the second stop of their winter tour in St. Louis last night. JRAD performed their first of two shows at The Pageant in the midst of a winter storm.

While it may have been cold outside, it was blazing inside in The Pageant. JRAD dropped nearly three hours of good ol’ fashioned Grateful Dead and other covers on the St. Louis fans. Tom Hamilton eased the crowd into a 18-minute rendition of Jerry Garcia Band’s “Cats Under the Stars” to kick off the first set.

JRAD tucked in plenty of goodies into the two sets including a cover of Bob Weir’s “Gonesville” from his newest record, a rare second set “Jack Straw” and the rare “Never Been to Spain” cover to cap the night off.

Set One (8:08PM – 9:43PM)

Front Row: Watch Phil Lesh and Neal Casal Heat Up Terrapin Crossroads

Phil Lesh just completed his third of four free bar shows at Terrapin Crossroads last night. The run is entitled Dead of Winter and is coming on the heels of literally the coldest days of the year in the U.S.

Phil’s lineup last night included Ross James, Alex Koford, Adam MacDougall, Grahame Lesh and Neal Casal from Chris Robinson Brotherhood and Circles Around the Sun. Circles Around the Sun just finished their first show of 2018 last week on the West Coast, so Neal Casal was “already in town.”

While there was plenty of Dead songs in the set, the setlist included some rarely played jams like “Get Off Your Ass And Jam” and “Never Been to Spain.” Having both Neal and Ross on guitar in the line-up is a treat for sure.
