Joe Russo's Almost Dead takes Grateful Dead songs apart and rebuilds them over long, surprising jams, and every night's setlist is different. The band plays the Salt Shed's indoor room, one of Chicago's best-sounding mid-size halls. Deadheads and jam fans should put this on Friday night.
What to expect
Two long sets of improvised Dead material inside the renovated Morton Salt shed. Expect a dancing, standing crowd.
Good to know
- Doors and set times are on the Ticketmaster listing.
- This show is in the indoor Shed, not on the outdoor lawn.
Going? Keep it.
Also in Logan Square, Wicker Park & Bucktown
