Dark Star Orchestra

As its name suggests, the Dark Star Orchestra is a Grateful Dead tribute band named following the Dead’s famous song “Dark Star.” It had been structured by engineer/maker Bob Matthews, a longtime associate from the Deceased who done albums from the band from your past due ’60s to the first ’80s. The theory behind the Dark Celebrity Orchestra is definitely that, at each of its concerts, the music group re-creates a particular Grateful Deceased concert, playing the same tunes in the same plans on similar devices. For example, on, may 8, 2004, on the Fillmore Auditorium in SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, the Orchestra replicated the present the Dead acquired played on, may 5, 1977, at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven, CT. Matthews organized for the functionality to be documented and filmed, leading to the double-DVD place Live on the Fillmore, released on Matthews’ very own ArSeaEm Documenting label (R.C.M. getting his initials).
