One of the greatest venues in Manhattan is the seasonal Pier 17 Rooftop. Located on the water in the Financial District, this venue boasts stunning views of Midtown behind the stage. Seeing one of your favorite bands there is truly special, and that was certainly the case for New York City s own Joe Russo s Almost Dead. This all-star quintet and Grateful Dead cover band delivered two incredible sets before Mother Nature intervened.
The Grateful Dead offshoot closed their final performance – held, of course, in San Francisco – with Dead classics Truckin and Brokedown Palace, and a spirited version of Buddy Holly s Not Fade Away
