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, on Thursday, August 31st (the night before Phish takes over Dick’s for the weekend!). Dave Dreiwitz will be on tour with Ween so Dead & Company‘s Oteil Burbridge will be stepping in. The Thursday performance will mark 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
To add to the excitement, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead has announced that they will be streaming the show through nugs.tv. Tune in at 7:30PM MST, 9:30PM EST to see Oteil Burbridge perform with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead.
