Dark Star Orchestra

On December 2, 2011, Dark Star Orchestra performed 'Help On The Way' live at the iconic 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. This period in the band's career was marked by their dedication to honoring the Grateful Dead's legacy through live performances that replicate the original shows' spirit and energy. Leading up to this recording, they had released their album 'The Last Time,' which highlights their ability to reinterpret classic tunes while adding their unique flair. An interesting tidbit about this particular show is that DSO incorporated not just the song but an entire setlist reminiscent of specific Grateful Dead concerts, immersing fans in a rich tapestry of nostalgia. It's clear that, by blending their artistic expression with a profound respect for history, Dark Star Orchestra continues to thrive in the jam band scene.
