RTD's New Year's Run was an overwhelming success, something we don't have to tell you if you made it to any of the gigs! Matt, Dave, Bill, and Chaim played all three, and we were joined by Alex and Joseph for NYE. Jody Bauman live painted for all 3 events, and the heady, Deady vibes were heavy and thicc.
Sardine 12/30 was a cover-heavy set, with 10 of 18 songs written by non-Dead members. Ferndale Project NYE was a family reunion of sorts, lots of the Otus Supply crew came out to see us and shake their bones. NYD PJ Brunch was totally sold out, and the crowd energy carried us through our final sets of the run. After hauling instruments and sound equipment for three days in a row, we were ready for a well deserved break! Dave will work on producing audio and video in the coming weeks, while starting a rock school and giving lessons (more at shinyheadmusic.com) 12.30.23 Grateful Brunch at the Sardine Room, Plymouth, MI (Bill, Dave, Chaim, Matt) I: How Sweet it Is, El Paso, Sugaree, Gomorrah, Let’s Spend the Night Together, Bertha, China > Rider II: Touch of Grey > Psycho Killer, Loose Lucy*, Now and Then*, Dear Prudence, Good Lovin’, Second That Emotion, The Way You do the Things You Do, Might as Well, Run run Rudolph, Ripple * = first time played 12.31.23 Grateful New Year at Ferndale Project, Ferndale, MI (Bill, Dave, Chaim, Matt, Alex, Joseph) I: Let the Good Times Roll, Hard to Handle, Scarlet Begonias, Cassidy, Samson & Delilah, It Must Have Been The Roses, Brown Eyed Women, Loose Lucy II: Help On The Way > Drums# > Help On The Way > Slipknot > Psycho Killer > New Speedway Boogie, Black Throated Wind, Althea, Lazy Lightning > Supplication III: Shakedown Street, Feel Like A Stranger, Happy New Year! > Auld Lang Syne > The Music Never Stopped > Dark Star V1 > Eyes of the World > Dark Star V2 > Dear Prudence > Good Lovin’ > GDTRFB > And We Bid You Goodnight > Franklin’s Tower # = Drums courtesy of a blown fuse.

It was a packed house at the Sardine Room, and the audience included our regular Jerry, Matthew Cole and Dave's mom and stepdad. Beetlejuice, Formal Apology, Jedi Knight, and Bill played a special Halloween set including Psycho Killer by Talking Heads, Sympathy for the Devil by Rolling Stones, Exit Music (For A Film) by Radiohead, Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon, The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Goblin Girl by Frank Zappa, and Brain Damage>Eclipse from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
