Joe Russo’s Almost Dead has checked off the tour circuit (although they do have LOCKN’ later this month), the East Coast and now has been attacking the West Coast with their high-energy Grateful Dead sets. A couple of nights ago, JRAD visited the The Showbox, a classic Seattle venue that is danger of closing and has been getting a lot of support from artists like Pearl Jam and Guns N’ Roses to stay open.
Being the home of grunge music and acts like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, there was a high likelihood of JRAD jamming on a 90s grunge classic. JRAD’s show was sold out, which is even more impressive given that they were competing with hometown heroes Pearl Jam across town. JRAD choose Soundgarden’s “Spoonman” to be the grunge anthem of the night and honor the late Chris Cornell who took his own life last year.
Another highlight of the show came at the end of the first set with a monster “Feel Like A Stranger” that included “Hey Bulldog” (The Beatles), “Frankenstein” (Edgar Winter Group) and “Voodoo Chile” (Jimi Hendrix) jams and teases.
