Jerry Garcia famously said, “There’s only two theaters, man… that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that — the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country.” Tomorrow (5/13), Dark Star Orchestra play The Capitol Theatre for a special recreation of the Grateful Dead’s legendary Europe ‘72 Tour performance in Lille, France, 50 years later to the day. Decades after, the legend of Europe ’72 remains one of the more famous chapters in the Dead’s storied history and a testament that the band’s unique vision of artistic community could cross oceans, continents, and cultures.

I picked this horse in an extended-family pool becuase there were literally like 3 left to choose from. Man - if I woulda bet $100 for reals, I'd have some "Let's hire DSO 😜!" CAI$H! Instead, I got $160.00 and sent my payment invitation with the following:

Gotta step up my gambling terminology.

We're heading to Europe! 🌍 Join us for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of 'Europe '72' with nine European performances in England, France, Germany and Italy September 13 - 25, 2022. Every show will be a recreation of a historic Europe ‘72 tour performance; as we'll be performing in four of the exact cities from Europe ‘72, notably in Paris, France - at The Olympia - the very same venue the Grateful Dead performed on May 3, 1972. Before we head to Europe, we'll bring a few Europe ‘72 recreations to life in the States - 50 years to the day! We'll recreate the Dead’s 4/8/72 show from Wembley Empire Pool London, England at the Skull & Roses Festival on April 8 in Ventura, CA. Additionally, we will take the Europe ‘50 Years Later’ recreation to The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on May 13, offering up the Dead’s performance from Lille, France from 5/13/72. Adding to these two stateside performances is the presence and participation of Jerry Garcia’s ‘Alligator’ guitar; a 1955 Fender Stratocaster originally used by Jerry on the Europe 1972 tour, shared with DSO’s lead guitarist Jeff Mattson to handle and elevate the specific tones from this legendary instrument. This historic Jerry Garcia instrument is provided for use at our shows with a special thanks to Grateful Guitars Foundation. Foundation’s Andy Logan. Logan states "Grateful Guitars is thrilled that Dark Star Orchestra is celebrating the Grateful Dead’s legendary Europe ’72 our’s 50th anniversary. We’re excited to celebrate some specific show anniversaries this year in the United States and especially to ‘take that ride again’ and tour Europe with the band and our loving tribe. We know this will enliven Deadheads around the world and will help ensure this music thrives for generations.” Rob Barraco summarizes the magnitude of experience stating “It is an honor of my lifetime to pay tribute to such a transformative event that we all have come to know as Europe ‘72.” Tickets for all European shows go on sale Friday, March 25 at 6 AM ET are available via our website.

Confirmed. Skip sang it

So 'Shape I'm In' is not 100% it turns out. The embedded reporter 'Thinks' that's what it was but admits to a moderate scramble.

At least I think this is right. Had an incomplete setlist: Onongada County War Memorial on 1978-05-09 Franklin's Tower, Minglewood Blues, Row Jimmy, Looks Like Rain, Friend Of The Devil, El Paso, Candyman, Passenger, Deal Samson & Delilah, Ship of Fools, Dancin' In The Streets-> Drums-> Not Fade Away-> Black Peter-> Around & Around, E: Werewolves of London F: The shape I’m In

A BIG Elective comin down the track?

Mayer is an accomplished song-writer and a very talented guitarist. I tried to drop my preconceived notions and give some of his stuff a try. Just not my cup of tea (I'm trying be really nice). His solo catalog is way outta my demo, I guess. All of this to say - if I found myself at a D&C waltz and they dropped-in Gravity anywhere, it would be Miller Time and a trip to the loo. Not trying to insult anyone (other than Mayer) by saying this, but: The tone and cadence of this voice insults me. Sorry, John. I'm still happy you got bit by the grateful dead bug, though. He gets it, I think.

Tough to stretch your legs in that place. It ain't The Orange Peel or The National but it's pretty cramped in there. I was shocked when a guy told me to sit down as I was blocking his view. I turned around and he said, "This is a Theatre, not a nightclub." I couldn't help but laugh - uncontrollably at that. If looks could kill
