Dead On Live Saturday Shakedown Show! Featuring the Dancin’est Dead!
Based on their unique approach of recreating, literally note for note all instruments including the lush vocal harmonies as heard on the classic recordings of the 70’s, DOL has quickly become recognized nationally as one of the top acts to pay tribute to the music of the American treasure known as the Grateful Dead.
Dead On Live will feature the most fun, finest, dancin’est Dead tunes in their vast catalog. From early burners like “Beat It On Down the Line” and “Big River”, 70s rockers “Bertha”, “Big Railroad Blues” to the syncopated complex rhythms of “Estimated Prophet” (C’mon, dare ya to dance in 7!) and the driving “Touch of Grey”. Slow dance to soulful Jerry tunes “Ship Of Fools” and “Stella Blue”.
Multi-instrumentalist, touring and recording veteran, Marc Muller (Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain, Tommy Shaw) has assembled a cast of world class musicians featuring local PA Bob Weir “Ace” Jimmy McGuigan, Keith clone John Pittas, Paul Avrutin tackling the rootless syncopation of Phil’s idiosyncratic bass lines and the deep grooves of Dave Anthony. There’s always lots of good old, Dead-inspired jamming to be had in every show. With much “deadication” these musicians come together to present their truly unique, note-for-note offering, performing the music of the Dead, absolutely “Dead On – live”!
Dead On Live
Dead On Live shows have featured specific records of specific eras, performing “Workingman’s Dead” and “American Beauty” in their entirety, the 71-72 era with songs from “Skull and Roses” and the iconic “Europe 72”, as well as their 73-74 show with selections from “Wake Of The Flood” and “Mars Hotel”. The latest DOL offering features the double drumming eras of both the psychedelic 60’s and Blues For Allah and beyond. Impossible to recreate studio recording of songs like Anthem Of The Sun’s “Born Cross Eyed” and “New Potato Caboose” are replicated, complete with all instruments and drug drenched vocals, to a tee as never performed live before.
Multi-instrumentalist, touring and recording veteran, Marc Muller (Shania Twain, Tommy Shaw, Bruce Springsteen) has assembled a cast of world class musicians featuring John Merjave, Tom Circosta of NYC’s Zen Tricksters, drummer Joe Chirco (Donna Jean, David Nelson), John Pittas, Paul Avrutin tackling the rootless syncopation of Phil’s bass, and perhaps one of the best Pigpen inspired vocalists/harpists on the scene today, Sandy Mack. Special guests are sure to be stopping by to join in the fun, as there’s always lots of good old, Dead-inspired jamming to be had in every show. With much “deadication” these musicians come together to present their truly unique, note-for-note offering, performing the music of the Dead, absolutely “Dead On – live”!
