What a night it was! The very successful, energetic, well attended and beautifully performed Deadstein monthly residency concert at New York's famous Bitter End Rock club on May 10, 2023 was a blast for everyone involved. The band played a mix of Grateful Dead classics, Beatles covers, and original songs that kept the crowd dancing and cheering for more. The highlight of the night was the debut of Jordan Goldstein on keyboards, who joined the band as a guest musician and added his own flair and style to the tunes. Jordan is a talented and versatile keyboardist who has played with various bands and artists in the New York scene. He fit right in with Deadstein and brought some fresh energy and creativity to the stage.

Another special guest who made the night memorable was Kathy, who attended her first show since the pandemic. Kathy is a longtime friend and supporter of Deadstein, who has been through a lot in the past year. She was thrilled to see the band live again and to reconnect with old friends and fellow Deadheads. She sang along to every song and even got up on stage to dance with the band during "Sugar Magnolia". It was great to see her smiling and having fun after such a long time.

The concert also featured some surprises and giveaways for the loyal fans who came out to support Deadstein. The band auctioned off a one-of-a-kind Deadstein guitar, which was custom-made by Johnny "Freakboy" Long, a renowned guitar maker and Deadstein fan. The guitar was signed by all the band members and had a unique design inspired by the Grateful Dead's artwork. The lucky winner of the auction was Jordan Weiner, who bid $10,000 for the guitar and got to take it home as a souvenir. Jordan is a huge Deadstein fan who has been following the band since their early days at Carroll's studio. He said he was honored to own such a rare and beautiful instrument and thanked the band for their generosity.

The concert ended with a rousing rendition of "Not Fade Away", which had everyone clapping and chanting along. The band thanked the audience for their love and support and promised to be back next month with another amazing show. Deadstein proved once again why they are one of the best tribute bands in the country and why their fans keep coming back for more.

Freak Out!
