The skies were tangled in gloom all day in New Haven, CT, on May 24, 2025, but Joe Russo’s Almost Dead dispelled the inclement weather with two sets of improvisational heat. The performance marked the band’s thirteenth appearance at the Westville Music Bowl, a former tennis stadium turned premier concert venue near Yale University.

Joe Russo's Almost Dead gifted the Atlantic and Northeast states a three-night Memorial Day Weekend run, starting in Virginia Beach, VA. We missed this great show but were fortunate to attend their throw down at the Stone Pony Summer Stage in Asbury Park, NJ, on May 23, 2025. This was their second performance at the gritty venue that is erected in the asphalt parking lot of the famous Stone Pony, which is across the street from the Atlantic Ocean.

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, the celebrated Grateful Dead cover band featuring Marco Benevento, Dave Dreiwitz, Tom Hamilton, Scott Metzger, and Joe Russo, is thrilled to announce a series of highly anticipated performances in Colorado this August 2025.

March 2020 was memorable for many reasons, but for thousands of concertgoers in New York City one special night still stands out: March 10th when The Brothers took the stage at Madison Square Garden to celebrate the legacy of The Allman Brothers Band. Five years later, The Brothers have announced their long-awaited return to the famed arena for Tuesday, April 15th and Wednesday, April 16th.

The Met Philadelphia has stood for over one hundred years, serving a variety of purposes—from a church to hosting Bob Dylan. This ornate, history-rich venue welcomed Joe Russo's Almost Dead for the fifth time on Friday, November 15, 2024. The sold-out show was no slouch, as the band delved into a pair of rare covers alongside a hearty selection of Grateful Dead bliss.

“They’re not the best at what they do. They’re the only ones that do what they do.”

Bill Graham’s famous observation in the 1970s about The Grateful Dead was certainly true at the time. In hindsight today, roughly fifty years after Graham’s renowned declaration (it’s difficult to pin down exactly when he said it), both the insinuation of the Dead’s supremacy and the certainty of their exclusivity are debatable.

The Stone Pony Summer Stage is back for the 2024 season and hosted Joe Russo's Almost Dead for a raging two-set heater on May 17, 2024, that featured a full set with friend and frequent collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie. The band honored their Garden State roots, as eighty percent of the quintet are originally from New Jersey, with two tasty tunes by Bruce Springsteen along with their slate of Grateful Dead covers.

Joe Russo's Almost Dead returned to the famed Capitol Theatre on January 12, 2024, for another legendary run of their own, and their twenty-sixth show at the Port Chester, NY-based venue. Their clever interpretations of the Grateful Dead and other bands get better and better over time, and this show was no exception.
