Dark Star Orchestra Performs 'Bertha' at Red Rocks Amphitheater
On July 8, 2018, Dark Star Orchestra hit an iconic milestone with their debut performance at the majestic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. This concert wasn’t just any show; it marked the 40th anniversary of a legendary Grateful Dead concert from the very same date and location in 1978. Just before this performance, DSO had released their album, "All Good Things: 20 Years of Dark Star Orchestra," which celebrated two decades of bringing the beloved Grateful Dead's music to life. This live recording of "Bertha" captures the band's energetic essence beautifully, highlighting their uncanny ability to channel the spirit of the Grateful Dead while adding their unique flair. Getting to play at such a revered venue, especially with this historical nod, makes it an unforgettable moment for both the band and their dedicated fans. DSO’s connection to the Dead's legacy runs deep, and moments like this reinforce why they’ve garnered such a loyal following.
