A soundrich experience from the parking lot of The Dead's show in Albany, New York on April 17, 2009.
Read the full description.
The band that defined fan loyalty are back on tour. The surviving members of the “Jerry Garcia-less” Grateful Dead are now playing as a band known as just “The Dead.” The iconoclastic rockers who kept the groove alive long after the original hippies turned grey will be touring until July. They were in Albany, New York in mid-April and played at an arena once known as the Knickerbocker, a venue near and dear to the hearts of many deadheads. Reporter Brad Horn traveled to Albany for the show, where he took in the sights and sounds of the famous parking lot scene.
