Joe Russo’s Almost Dead were scheduled to make their Red Rocks Amphitheatre headlining debut last April, but the performance was rescheduled to 1st Bank Center in Broomfield due to severe weather. It had a lot of fans, who traveled long distances to see the Grateful Dead-inspired quintet perform the beloved venue, bummed out about the change in plans. However, the band made up for it quickly with the announcement that they would return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre later in the year. Well, the day has finally arrived, and today, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead makes their Red Rocks debut! Unfortunately, Dave Dreiwitz is on tour with Ween, so in his stead, Dead & Company sbassist Oteil Burbridge has graciously stepped in for the performance, marking Burbridge’s fourth appearance with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, following his shows at the Brooklyn Bowl this March and sit-in at Fool’s Paradise in April.
Oteil Burbridge Opens Up About Playing With Joe Russo’s Almost Dead
Those of us who can’t be at the show tonight are in luck. A while back, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead announced that they’d be streaming the show through nugs.tv. You can tune in at 7:30 PM MST, 9:30 PM EST to see Joe Russo’s Almost Dead’s Red Rock debut featuring Oteil Burbridge!
