Dark Star Orchestras shows are built off the extensive
catalog of the
Grateful Dead. On any given night the band will perform a show based on a
set list from the Grateful Dead’s 30 years of extensive touring or use the
catalog of original songs and often played covers to create a unique set
list for the show. This allows music fans both young and old to share in the
experience. Dark Star Orchestra presents its critically acclaimed live show
at esteemed venues from coast to coast and internationally. Grateful Dead
classics are performed in the same way that an orchestra interprets music of
classical composers. The composer spirit is derived and channeled as the
players capture the excitement and innovation of the original performances
and compositions.
Touring nationwide for eleven years to the tune of over 1800 shows since
forming, the band’s determined commitment to “raising the Dead” has drawn
national media attention.
“Fanatical attention to detail.” Rolling Stone
“Dark Star Orchestra takes its act to a level of detail that befits a rock
band famous for its fanatical following.” Associated Press
Critics aren’t the only ones singing Dark Star Orchestra’s praises. Five
original members of the Grateful Dead have played alongside DSO and have had
this to say:
“Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like
it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.” Donna Jean
Godchaux-McKay, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest.
This is an ALL AGES show
