While the popular Grateful Dead-inspired act has performed at 1stBank Center before, this will mark the first time the Joe Russo-led band has performed there intentionally. Back in 2017, JRAD delivered a memorable show at 1stBank Center—the band’s arena debut—after an unseasonable late-April snowstorm pushed a scheduled gig at Red Rocks Amphitheatre indoors. The band responded in kind, offering up a Bob Dylan “Shelter From The Storm” debut to open the show and a lights-on, sing-along rendition of Bruce Springsteen‘s “Born To Run” to close it down. Read our full recap of that show here.
