Joe Russo’s Almost Dead were slated to kick off a two-night run at New York’s Pier 17 last night. However, both shows were cancelled due to an incoming Nor’easter that shutdown most outdoor live-music events throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions this weekend.
The New York-bred Grateful Dead project had already arrived at Pier 17 and started to soundcheck when they learned their show could not proceed as planned, so the quintet decided to stage a free pop-up show outside the venue instead. JRAD setup in front of the concert space’s street-level box office and performed from 5:23-6:52pm, a “gentleman’s 90,” in Joe Russo’s words, for fans who had already made their way to Pier 17. The extended set kicked off with “Scarlet Begonias,” before segueing into the Bob Dylan/Robert Hunter collaboration “Silvio,” Jerry Garcia Band’s “Ruben & Cherise” and The Rascals’ “Good Lovin.” The ensemble paused briefly and then jumped into “Shakedown Street,” Dylan’s “All Along Watchtower,” “Slipknot!,” “Help on the Way,” the rest of “Slipknot!” and “Franklin’s Tower.” From there, JRAD closed the impromptu performance with a segue from “Feel Like A Stranger” into “Terrapin Station,” before encoring with “I Know You Rider.”

John Mayer will return to Las Vegas’ Sphere for a series of headlining dates next year. The guitarist, who hosted residencies at the venue in 2024 and 2025 as a member of Dead & Company, will appear at the immersive space on April 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18. According to the announcement, he will perform solo, with his full and in a trio format. The trio spots will feature bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan; the John Mayer Trio last performed together in 2023, when they regrouped for short sets at Love Rocks and the Crossroads Guitar Festival. Since Bob Weir’s passing earlier this year, Mayer has shied away from covering Grateful Dead music as he has inched back into his solo career.
Up next, Mayer will appear at Buddy Guy’s 90th birthday celebration at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on Thursday, October 1. He will also perform at Uncasville, CT’s Mohegan Sun Arena on October 9 as part of Mohegan Sun’s 30th Birthday Celebration and Hollywood, CA’s Chaplin Studios on October 10 during Soundstage of Hope.
