Playing Dead will be playing Dead at Showcase Live in Foxboro on Sat. 4-21 ... it's an awesome venue with killer sound and lights.





To make it interesting, we're asking people to help us choose what we'll play that night. You can take this quick survey online (you don't have to sign up for anything) and we'll post the winners before the show and use the input to craft our setlists.

Nice setlist! Love the 'for Levon' additions...obviously, my previous post was my lame attempt at humor, I always check out your guy's stuff, and it's always top notch...can't wait to check out the vids and/or archives of what I'm sure was a kick-ass show...Peace, Joe
