On Saturday, May 29, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead delivered the second of three socially distanced shows at New Haven, CT’s Westville Music Bowl. 

The Connecticut outing marked the quintet’s first gigs before a live audience since their three night Capitol Theatre run in February 2020.

Highlights included an opening version of “Silvio,” the Bob Dylan song co-authored by Robert Hunter, as well as a fully-segued passage that began with “Cream Puff War” and also contained “Truckin” a “New Speedway Boogie” jam, “Truckin’ Reprise,” “St. Stephen,” “Tough Mama” and “I Know You Rider.” JRAD had last performed the “Speedway” jam on 8/31/17 and “Truckin’ Reprise” on 7/19/18. 

Photographer Dino Perrucci was there to capture the action on Saturday night.
