Managing to honor both the band and the fans, Dark Star Orchestra's members seek out the unique style and sound of each era while simultaneously offering their own informed improvisations. Dark Star Orchestra offers much more than the sound of the Grateful Dead, they truly encapsulate the energy and the experience, it's about a sense of familiarity, it's about a feeling that grabs listeners and takes over, it's about that contagious energy…in short, it's about the complete experience and consistent quality show that the fan receives when attending a Dark Star Orchestra show. Fans and critics haven't been the only people caught up in the spirit of a Dark Star show. The band has featured guest performances from six original Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, Vince Welnick, Tom Constanten and even toured with longtime Dead sound man, Dan Healy.
