The weather was great, the bands were fun, the beer was cold and Governor's Island was beautiful. It was an excellent evening.Written on Jul 15 2008
A couple of areas for improvement: 1- Almost everyone was smoking; what was that about? It seemed gross that such a nice lawn would be a sea of cigarette butts in morning. 2 - another food concession would have been good. The lines were long. 3 - the ferry could definitely make more trips.

I missed Tea leaf Green, but arrived in time for the entire DSO show! It was awesome, and the venue was really nice, but make sure you bring your patience while waiting for the Ferry.Written on Jul 15 2008

Great venue. Well run. Definitely a great place in the city to see a show. But get to the ferry early as it bottles up and moves slowly.Written on Jul 15 2008

The venue was great, air quality could have been better. No quite what I anticipated as what I read about the groups and what transpired was a not what I expected. It was a "moment". I would check other events at this venue.Written on Jul 14 2008

Description
The Highline Ballroom is proud to announce the creation of The Governors Island Concert Series, the inaugural edition of a rain-or-shine, all-ages music series on beautiful Governors Island, located only 800 yards off of Lower Manhattan. The Governors Island Concert Series is a groundbreaking event: one of the first-ever large-scale performance events to take place on historic Governors Island.
Dark Star Orchestra performs Grateful Dead classics 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 nine years to the tune of nearly 1500 shows since forming, the band's determined commitment to "raising the Dead" has drawn national media attention.
