DEAD ON - LIVE! -- A Recreation of Grateful Dead Classics In Newton

originally published: 02/22/2013
(Newton, NJ) -- The Newton Theatre is excited to welcome Dead On Live for a performance of Grateful Dead classics on Saturday, April 20th. Dead On Live "Cream of the Crop" concert will feature favorite recordings of the Grateful Dead.

Based on their unique approach of recreating, literally note for note, all instruments as well as the lush and complex vocal harmonies as heard on classic recordings of the 70's, Dead On Live has quickly become recognized nationally as one of the top acts to pay tribute to the music of the American treasure known as the Grateful Dead.

Dead On Live shows have featured records of specific eras, performing Workingman's Dead and American Beauty in their entirety, the 71-72 era with songs from Skull and Roses and the iconic Europe 72, as well as their 73-74 show with selections from Wake Of The Flood and Mars Hotel.

For the band's debut performance at the Newton Theatre, Dead On Live is happy to offer a special "Cream Of The Crop" show featuring a cross section of favorites from their 1970-74 catalog. Songs such as Easy Wind, The Wheel, China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider (in it's entirety!), Scarlet Begonias and Mississippi Halfstep will be performed as they were recorded and released, with all instruments and vocals.

Multi-instrumentalist, touring and recording veteran, Marc Muller (Shania Twain, Tommy Shaw, Bruce Springsteen) has assembled a cast of world class musicians featuring John Merjave, drummer Joe Chirco (Donna Jean, David Nelson), John Pittas, Paul Avrutin tackling the rootless syncopation of Phil's bass, and perhaps one of the best Pigpen inspired vocalists/harpists on the scene today, Sandy Mack. Special guests are sure to be stopping by to join in the fun, as there's always lots of good old, Dead-inspired jamming to be had in every show. With much "deadication" these musicians come together to present their truly unique, note-for-note offering, performing the music of the Dead, absolutely "Dead On -- live"!

All seats will only be $25.00. Tickets for Dead On Live! are on sale at www.thenewtontheatre.com or call the Box Office at 973-383-3700. Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, NJ.

Founded in 1924 as Sussex County's premier entertainment venue, The historic Newton Theatre presents a wide range of programs that entertain, enrich and educate the diverse population of the region and enhance the economic vitality of Northern New Jersey.
