Dark Star Orchestra

In 2014, just before their electrifying performance of 'Playin' In The Band' at the Gathering of the Vibes Festival, Dark Star Orchestra had recently released the album 'All Good Things' in 2013. This album not only continued their established tradition of honoring the Grateful Dead's legacy but also showcased their evolution as a band, solidifying their place in the jam band scene. What’s fascinating is that this performance took place during a time when the band was embracing their distinctive blend of improvisation and tribute, thrilling audiences not just with musical notes but with genuine passion. The Gathering of the Vibes is known for a community vibe that's often described as familial, creating a unique atmosphere where every note resonates deeply with the crowd. This connection with fans reflects Dark Star Orchestra's mission to keep the spirit of the Grateful Dead alive.
