This past weekend, Joe Russo's Almost Dead took to the friendly confines of the Brooklyn Bowl in New York City for Freaks Ball XVI. On March 24, 25, and 26, the band delivered three explosive nights of sold out music that included Grateful Dead covers as well as renditions of songs by the Allman Brothers, Father John Misty, and a few other surprises.
Courtesy of WMWV Radio, you can listen to crisp SoundCloud recordings of each night's show below. So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
