[UPDATED] Full Shows Audio: Joe Russo’s Almost Dead Fall 2016 Brooklyn Bowl Run

From Thursday to Saturday Grateful Dead tribute act Joe Russo’s Almost Dead played three shows at the venue where it all started for the band, Brooklyn Bowl in New York City. Audio of the exceptional three-night Fall Ball II run has surfaced and can be streamed below.

Thursday’s opener included a bonus acoustic set played on a stage setup over some of the venue’s bowling lanes. JRAD offered a number of debuts on Thursday including takes on blues classic “Good Morning Little School Girl,” Allen Toussaint’s “Fortune Teller,” Ween’s “So Long Jerry,” George Jones’ “The Race Is On” and Pigpen staple “King Bee.”

On Friday, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead was joined by Dead & Company guitarist John Mayer for nearly the entire second set. The five-piece performed another acoustic set that featured a riveting “Terrapin Station Suite” and also debuted versions of Bob Dylan’s “Tough Mama,” the late Grateful Dead classic “So Many Roads” and the early GD staple “Cryptical Envelopment.”

Saturday’s closer saw the quintet stick to the electric format for the entire evening. JRAD mixed heavy rotation favorites such as “The Wheel,” “Eyes Of The World,” “Help On The Way” and “Morning Dew” with more rare material including “Blues For Allah,” “Magnificent Sanctuary Band” and “He Was A Friend Of Mine.” The band was joined by friend Chris Harford for “Hippie Dream” to end the second set ahead of two encores.
