Dark Star Orchestra

On October 14, 2005, Dark Star Orchestra performed at the McDonald Theatre in Eugene, Oregon, showcasing their unique ability to recreate the magic of Grateful Dead shows. At this point in their career, they had just released their album 'The New Deal' earlier in 2005, highlighting their artistic evolution and the depth of their repertoire. This performance, part of a tour that emphasized live energy and spontaneity, allowed the band to connect deeply with their audience via the familiar but fresh sound. Interestingly, their shows are often lauded for their dedication to respecting the essence of Grateful Dead music while adding their own flair, making this recording a real treat for fans. Plus, the fact that it was webcasted by Grateful Web adds a layer of modern interaction, allowing fans from afar to experience the performance as it unfolded.
