Joe Russo’s Almost Dead’s winter tour has passed the halfway mark. Two nights ago the Grateful Dead tribute band landed in Albany, NY for a show at the Palace Theatre.
The sold out Albany crowd was treated to a “Shakedown Street” with some Michael Jackson and Earth, Wind and Fire to end the first set.
During the second set, JRAD dusted off some tunes and teases they haven’t played in nearly a year including “Dupree’s Diamond Blues.”
