Joe Russo’s Almost Dead joined forces with The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and Band of Changes front-man Chris Harford for a rousing take on Neil Young’s “Fuckin’ Up” at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY on Sunday evening, February 23rd. The comedian made his surprise appearance during the encore when he sauntered on stage, beer in hand, to provide backing vocals while Harford sang lead on the rocking track from Young’s 1990 album, Ragged Glory. During the performance, Fallon took center stage to channel his best inner-Bruce Springsteen, delivering a quick hello to the crowd before inserting lines from “Born to Run” and The Beatles “Hey Jude”. The band then segued back into the final verse of “Fuckin’ Up” to close out their 3-day NY run.
