Dark Star Orchestra Performs Uncle John's Band at Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival
In the summer of 2014, Dark Star Orchestra performed 'Uncle John's Band' at the Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival, showcasing their continued dedication to the Grateful Dead's legacy. Before this electrifying set, the band had released their album 'All Good Things' in 2013, which highlights their growth and their ability to reinterpret classic Grateful Dead sounds while bringing their own flair. This live performance not only showcases their mastery of improvisation but also highlights their deep connection with fans, evident in the way they engaged with the crowd at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The energy in the park that day was palpable, a warm snapshot of the camaraderie found at such festivals. Given their extensive history of honoring the Grateful Dead’s music, this performance stands out as another testament to Dark Star Orchestra’s commitment to keeping that spirit alive.
