Grateful Dead fans (of which there are undoubtedly a few here in New Mexico) and lovers of jam bands in general should be aware that a special two-night tribute to the iconic band warms up the amps at Nob Hill’s Lobo Theater (3013 Central Ave. NE) this coming weekend. As the initiated know, “Days Between” refers to the dates Aug. 1, 1942 (Jerry Garcia’s birthday) and Aug. 9, 1995 (Garcia’s death). The seven days in between serve as sort of a high-holy week for Deadheads to celebrate the life and music of Jerry Garcia. On Friday, Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. you can check out Days Between with Grateful Dead tribute band The Jerry Project. On Saturday, Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. its Days Between with Grateful Dead tribute band The Deal. That’s double the Dead! General admission tickets are $15 each night and can be purchased in advance at HoldMyTicket for Friday (tickets.holdmyticket.com/tickets/435313) and Saturday (tickets.holdmyticket.com/tickets/435314).
