Dark Star Orchestra

On June 28, 2012, Dark Star Orchestra took the stage at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, delivering an electrifying performance of "Help On The Way / Slipknot! / Franklin's Tower." At this point in their career, the band had just released their album, "Knights of the Living Dead," in 2011, which showcased their unique blend of classic Grateful Dead tributes mixed with their distinct improvisational flair. Interesting to note, the recording at the Ogden is emblematic of DSO's commitment to preserving the Grateful Dead's legacy while still carving out their path in the jam band scene. It was a pivotal moment as they were gaining recognition not just for their live performances but also for their original work. This live rendition is a perfect example of how they honor the spirit of the music while making it their own, bringing the crowd to life and embodying the essence of the live concert experience.
