For the final day of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival last night, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead closed out their run at the Joy Theater in New Orleans. This run has been special to say the least, with the group composed of Joe Russo, Marco Benevento, Tom Hamilton, Dave Dreiwitz, and Scott Metzger channeling the New Orleans magic into their performance, including the debut of a brand-new cover of Zequinha de Abreu’s “Tico-Tico no Fubá.” You can check out the full setlist below, courtesy of Peter Costello, and check out pictures from last night’s show, courtesy of Dave Vann.
