High Time

The music of the Grateful Dead finds another willing host in this NYC-based tribute band, which focuses on the band's rootsy, jam-heavy early period. The group skillfully weaves between tuneful replication and psychedelic bedlam, both in the spirit of the original group. Its monthly gatherings at Union Pool's cozy back room are a haven for aspiring and experienced Deadheads alike, with trippy light projections and locals hawking bootleg shirts.
