Ditching the setlists, Steely Dead jam through two nights of lively shows melding Grateful Dead and Steely Dan songs - Tahoe Onstage | Lake Tahoe music concerts and sports

Steely Dead's Unique Fusion

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.
