It’s Tuesday, so you know what that means: a fresh SBD from Joe Russo’s Almost Dead! This week’s “Taper Tuesday,” the 27th installation in the series, brings us the beachside sounds of the band’s 12/4/16 set at Dominican Holidaze.
On the final day of the four-day destination event in Punta Cana, fans were treated to two full sets as well as an extended public soundcheck. Thanks to taper Peter Costello and archive.org user Eric McRoberts, you can listen to the soundcheck and the full show below:
