So they ship us out to an island off of Manhattan, it starts raining right when the headlining band is getting into the swing of things and they make us stand in the pouring rain and flashing lightning while we wait for ferries to slowly remove the crowd. Worst concert experience ever and I want my money back.Written on Jul 14 2009

Description
Using entire shows from the Grateful Dead's 30 years of extensive touring as a launching pad, Dark Star Orchestra recreates the original song for song performance set list for an entirely new generation of, as well as old school, Deadheads. Dark Star Orchestra presents its critically acclaimed live show at esteemed venues from coast to coast and internationally.
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.
