Chris Robinson Brotherhood - December 30th – Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom
Last Tuesday evening we got up close and personal with 90’s Rock icon – close friends with the likes of Phil Lesh and Bob Weir – the often biblical-looking, ultra-talented frontman of The Black Crowes: Mister Chris Robinson. Weaving the perfect blend of covers, originals, and Black Crowes favorites, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood curated the most ideal night we could have asked for for the Eve of the Eve of the 2015 New Year.

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead – October 11th – Ogden Theatre
Anticipation levels were high as Deadheads old and new poured into The Ogden Theatre on Saturday Night. In the past few months the buzz that has followed Joe Russo and his latest project, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead has been deafening. Since their inception in early 2013, the quintet has piqued the interest of fans wondering what this group would bring to a songbook that is beloved by so many. When the show sold-out shortly after the doors opened, it was obvious this would be a special night and what unfolded was nothing short of spectacular.

Joe Russo Talks Furthur, The Grateful Dead, and “Almost Dead”
We had the pleasure of talking with Furthur drummer Joe Russo about this weekend’s Colorado shows with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead as well as some of his other recent and upcoming projects and collaborations. In part one of this two part piece we touch on how JRAD started as a fresh take on the classic Grateful Dead song catalog, the transformative experience Russo has gone through since immersing himself into the world of The Grateful Dead, and his place in the lone line of potential torchbearers of that music.

Dark Star Orchestra – July 4th – Ogden Theatre
This Fourth of July, the boys (and girl) of Dark Star Orchestra transported us to the year 1989, to the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia. Deadheads young and old were in attendance, and the floor of the Ogden was a sea of tie-dye vintage t-shirts, representing the Grateful Dead and Dark Star Orchestra alike. The result was an incredibly satisfying night of music, soul, dance, love and of course, independence. It was a very merry Fourth of July indeed. Keep on keepin’ on.

Furthur – September 20th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Red Rocks in September is an unpredictable place for the weather and it seems like shows go later and later into the Fall season each year. Furthur has embraced this trend and has made late September theirs; this year playing a 4-night run of shows. This year the Friday night show proved the former members of the Grateful Dead are still stalwarts of an industry where you’re only as good as your last sold-out show or successful tour. As a whole, the show was very well played, energetic, and fun as hell!

Furthur – February 22nd – 1stBank Center
Grateful Dead founders Bob Weir and Phil Lesh laid siege on the Colorado Front Range this past weekend with their band, Furthur. The 4-night run of shows started with a single, intimate performance at The Ogden Theatre in the heart of Denver, an extremely difficult ticket to obtain, and then moved up to the much larger 1st Bank Center in Broomfield where no one would be shut out. By all reports the run featured some great music.

Bob Weir & Jackie Greene – December 13th – The Paramount
The sweet smell of Colorado’s newest legal herb hung in the air outside The Paramount last Thursday night as hundreds of Deadheads milled around under the marquee with fingers in the air hoping to score a ticket at the last minute. Bob Weir and Jackie Greene were in town and they delivered a three set show that was heavy on Bob Dylan material and, though it showcased a bit of Weir’s uneven side, everyone still left with a big smile on their face.
