Fresh off their 6-night run at Brooklyn Bowl spanning the past two weekends, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead has released full show audio from their late night set at LOCKN’ with a special addition to their usual lineup: founding Grateful Dead member Bob Weir. The recording marks the 50th installment of the band’s Taper Tuesday series.

The performance took place on the “day of” 8/25/17, but didn’t begin until after the clock had ticked into the early hours of the morning on 8/26/17. Coming off his own memorable performance with Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band of the Dead’s seminal 1977 album, Terrapin Station, earlier in the evening, Weir joined the band for a total of 5 songs during their late-night set.
