Steely Dead brought their fusion of Grateful Dead and Steely Dan to the Crown Room at Crystal Bay Club Casino for a two-night run.
The shows featured impressive psychedelic visuals and were described as "face melters" from start to finish.
The band started with a rocking "Truckin'" by the Grateful Dead, jamming into "Black Friday" by Steely Dan and back into "Truckin'".
The group likes to hit the stage without a plan and let the crowd's energy decide what they will open with.
Guitar player Dave Abear mentioned this approach in an interview between shows on Saturday.
