Joe Russo's Almost Dead is one of the best Grateful Dead tribute bands out there. Actually, I probably shouldn't call them a tribute band, because while they play the Dead's music, they don't try to immitate it note for now. Rather, like a good jazz group, they extend it and riff on it. They have that wonderful loose improvisational vibe that the Dead had at their best without imitating the Dead's exact sound.
Nugs.net has made one of their recent shows, August 16, 2018 at Red Rocks, Morrison CO, free to listen to or download in MP3 format. I'm listening to Eyes of the World right now, and it blows away any version I've heard by the Dead and Company.
I don't know how long the show will be free, so get it now. Heck, even if it wasn't free, it'd be worth buying.
