Chances are you\u2019ve probably seen them, or some variation of them previously at the Den or The Hollow in downtown Albany. The keyboard-based, electronic exploration took listeners through two sets of music that lasted into the late hours of Sunday morning. Things kicked off a bit late but instantly let loose the second the six-piece stepped on stage with keyboard wizard sit-ins. Just last Wednesday, the same venue saw a room packed with Dopapod faithful\u2019s adorned in Dead and Phish gear, eager to see what their <a href=\"https:\/\/nysmusic.com\/site\/2016\/10\/28\/photo-gallery-dopapod-and-pigeons-playing-ping-pong-funk-saratoga-up\/\">joint tour with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong<\/a> would bring.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 28.1018518519% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BMdA9-BAnMD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saturday night at @putnamden: feelin&#8217; grateful! #SkeletonKeys #Grateful #nysmusic #livemusic #Saratoga<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center;\">A video posted by NYS Music (@nystatemusic) on Nov 5, 2016 at 8:19pm PDT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You can say once you\u2019ve seen one Dead cover band show, you\u2019ve seen them all. To an extent that could be true, but Skeleton Keys made sure to spice up the night with set breaks and solos in all the right spots. Two percussionists, one manning a drum kit and the other on hand drums, two keys players, one bassist and a vivacious singer took den-goers through an authentic rendition of 1976\u2019s Steal Your Face tune, \u201cSugaree.\u201d The second song of the night found its way into an extended jam that ended with a captivating hand-drum solo.<\/p>\n<p>On November 5, 1979, the Grateful Dead brought fourth the famed matchup of \u201cChina Cat Sunflower\u201d into \u201cI Know You Rider\u201d during their show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Fast-forward to 2016, and the Skeleton Keys pulled out another approved combination. As things wrapped up, Mazur led the group into what seemed like a tease of \u201cFire on the Mountain.\u201d After being played in full, the Shakedown Street hit then segued into \u201cScarlet Begonias\u201d which found most people up on their feet with a drink in hand.<\/p>\n<p>The Saratogian nightlife staple will host a number of stimulating shows in the coming months. On Nov. 19, returning favorites Pink Talking Fish will take on a performance of Pink Floyd\u2019s Dark Side of the Moon juxtaposed with Phish\u2019s rock-opera \u201cGamehendge,\u201d all while sprinkling Talking Heads songs in between. A special Thanksgiving Throwdown will take place with Eastbound Jesus on Nov. 23 and the Capital Region\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/formula5music\/?fref=ts\">Formula 5<\/a> will throw down with Tauk on Dec. 8!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, November 5th at the Putnam Den had the Capital Region feeling pretty grateful.
