Recently joined by Phil Lesh at a show in San Francisco, beloved Grateful Dead tribute act Dark Star Orchestra returns to enchant both old Deadheads and those fans who may never have gotten to see the band perform. Dark Star reconstructs historic setlists from the Dead’s extensive live catalog of more than 3,000 shows, song for song – though not necessarily note for note – and changing their equipment, stage layout and band lineup depending on the era they’re repping. The musicians perform a different setlist each night, revealing the date and location of the original setlist at each show’s end.
