Dark Star Orchestra

Before their lively performance of "Tennessee Jed" at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe on February 21, 2019, Dark Star Orchestra had been making waves in the music scene with their studio album "All Good Things" released in 2017. Known for their dedication to recreating Grateful Dead concerts, DSO’s live shows, like the one captured in this recording, not only highlight their musicianship but also their ability to connect with audiences. It's noteworthy that the band is beloved for picking specific setlists from the Grateful Dead's rich history, allowing fans a chance to experience their favorite shows all over again. In this performance, the spirit of improvisation and nostalgia permeates the venue—just like a classic Dead show. This performance encapsulates DSO's mission: preserving the essence of the Grateful Dead while lending their unique flair.
