A tribute band performing the music of the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band at Music Box SD.
Live Dead & Brothers play Music Box SD in downtown San Diego on Wednesday, October 14. They're a tribute act that pulls from two different legacies: the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band. If you've spent any time with either, you know the common ground—long jams, dual guitars, and a certain kind of loose, improvisational spirit that works better live than on a record. They describe their show as an electrifying tribute to both, so you can expect a set that draws from both catalogs in one night.
It's a 21-and-up show, which is worth keeping in mind if you're planning a group. Tickets are $37 for advanced standing and $42 for day-of-show standing, and you can get them at the box office as well. There's a delivery delay on the advance tickets—they're sent to your inbox 48 hours before the show, so you won't have them in hand until a couple of days before you head downtown.

Doors open at 8 PM, and the show starts at 9 PM. With the venue in downtown San Diego, it's an easy mid-week night to swing by if you're already in the area. Between the two bands they're covering, there's plenty of material to pull from, so it should be a full evening of playing. If you're into the Dead and the Allmans, this is a straightforward way to hear both in one room.
