Watch Joe Russo’s Almost Dead’s “Shakedown Street > One More Saturday Night” at High Sierra

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead is back in action this summer and making the rounds on the festival circuit. Earlier this month JRAD was one of the headlining acts at the High Sierra Music Festival at the Plumas County Fairgrounds in Quincy, CA.

Dave Dreiwitz was MIA for the festival, but Jon Shaw kept the groove alive on bass. At the end of the second set, JRAD raged on “Shakedown Street > One More Saturday Night.”

Thanks to Ted Silverman for the footage!

Watch Keller Williams’ Grateful Gospel’s Killer “Eyes of the World > Franklin’s Tower” at High Sierra

With the Dead and Company’s epic summer tour behind us, what’s a deadhead to do? Luckily there are a ton of other musicians carrying on the legacy of the Dead on the touring and festival circuit this summer. One of those is Keller Williams.

Williams is a zany, crazy-talented instrumentalist who pays homage to the Dead with his gospel infused act—Keller Williams’ Grateful Gospel. Keller and his gospel act played a two hour set of Dead tunes on Sunday afternoon on the main stage at High Sierra Music Festival this past weekend.

One of of the highlights of the show was the 18+ minute “Eyes of the World > Franklin’s Tower” jam. Phil Lesh collaborator and Terrapin Crossroads usual suspect, Stu Allen sat in on the jam and added some extra fire power with his guitar. While Williams is known for his solo work, he and his gospel ensemble really shine on these Dead tunes.

Thanks to Ted Silverman for the great footage.

Watch Eric McFadden Join Gov’t Mule for a High Flying “Whipping Post” at High Sierra Music Fest 2017

Gov’t Mule (along with dozens of other of bands) landed in Quincy, California for the 27th annual High Sierra Music Festival this past weekend. Mule was given the headlining spot on Sunday night to close out the festival. Well technically the Greyboy Allstars jammed until the wee hours of the morning at the late night stage, but you know what I mean.

To close out their extended festival set, Warren and the boys welcomed guitar virtuoso and friend of the Mule Eric McFadden to the stage. With the double lead guitar formation in place, the Mule treated High Sierra to a cover of the Allman Brothers Band’s “Whipping Post.” McFadden and Haynes traded licks during the solo, veered off the beaten path a little and then brought it home. A great way to close out the set.

Thanks to Jam Catcher for the great footage!
