The news was exciting - Joe was going to be back in town, and we had the opportunity to do a live-streamed gig at our favorite venue for Valentine's Day!  While the whole band wasn't available, Bill, Matt, and Dave were, and we set out to do something special, with help from Otus Supply owners Thom and Yorg.  So on Saturday, February 13, the RTD Quartet met at The Parliament Room at Otus Supply in Ferndale to perform a stripped-down acoustic set of Dead classics.  The guest list was held to 10, we kept our masks on, and we were joined by Chris and Michael of TheFunkShop.com, engineering the sound and webcast.  We made our way through a 2-hour set of stripped down classics, marked by patient jamming and sparkling 3-part harmonies. 

By the end of the night, Facebook had registered over 2000 views, and counting. Here's the setlist, give it watch if you missed it!
