Cost: $14-17
Grateful Dead tribute bands are a dime a dozen, rarely capturing any of the Dead’s actual appeal or virtuosic jamming, but The China Cats actually do the legacy proud. What became a one-off tribute last year among self-professed Deadheads has grown into a primary concern, and for good reason: instead of trying to attempt note-for-note re-enactments, The China Cats evoke the spirit of the Dead through limber jams potent enough to give even the sober a contact high.
