Dark Star Orchestra

On March 8, 2011, Dark Star Orchestra performed a captivating acoustic version of 'Unbroken Chain' during a live show at Mexicali. At this time in their career, they were riding high on the success of their highly regarded albums and tours that celebrated the legacy of the Grateful Dead. Their most recent studio album before this performance was 'The Aloha Series,' which showcased their ability to blend original work with classic Grateful Dead vibes. Interestingly, DSO has gained a reputation for crafting each show as a unique homage to the Dead, often recreating setlists from historical performances. This live rendition of 'Unbroken Chain,' a classic composed by Phil Lesh and originally performed by the Grateful Dead, illustrates DSO's emotional connection to the music and their talent for striking a chord with audiences, whether in an intimate acoustic setting or a large venue.
