Dark Star Orchestra Live Performance of Franklin's Tower at Crystal Ballroom
On April 18, 2013, Dark Star Orchestra graced the Crystal Ballroom stage with a riveting rendition of 'Franklin's Tower.' By this time, the band had already released their studio album 'The Blacking Out,' which came out in 2013, just months before this live performance. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing fresh original material while still paying homage to the musical legacy of the Grateful Dead. The concert's energy beautifully encapsulated their dedication to live improvisation, a core tenet of their performances. Interestingly, the Crystal Ballroom venue is known for its unique spring-loaded dance floor, adding to the groove of the night. It's almost as if you could feel the vibrations of the music not just in your ears, but all around you! This performance is celebrated by fans for its authentic vibe and improvisational flair, making it a memorable moment in Dark Star Orchestra's ongoing journey in the live music scene.
