Saw DSO last Fri. in Dallas and these guys are fun. When they come by, go see 'em.
Last fri. they did Indy '76. Samson and Help/Slip/Tower were INSANE!!!
We just saw DSO at the El Rey in Los Angeles recently... what a great time! While it is not the same thing as seeing the Dead, it was even more fun than some of the last shows I saw... it's like seeing the Dead in a small (tiny) venue! Plus DSO busted out a scorching Lazy Lightning, Viola Lee Blues and a St. Stephen! These guys really do the music justice while not looking too much like a corny tribute band. "Beatlemania" this is not!
Jambase.com is giving away a pair of tickets for each of the 3 nights they play at the beautiful Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado. The shows are April 16, 17, & 18, so hurry. All you have to do is go to Jambase, click on the Contests tab, scroll down to Colorado, and enter away!! Cuz the only thing better than a Dark Star show is a free Dark Star show.

"May your dogs be with you"
My wife and I went to two festivals last summer, and DSO kicked off both of them. I could not believe how spot-on they were and how much care they took in handling the tunes of the Dead. The night before All Good in W.V., they did an incredible set, with fireworks popping over the stage ever 15 minutes or so. Really, really special. If you get a chance, download that show off of Archive.org.
