Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted December 29, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Amazing show. This was my first time seeing Dark Star Orchestra with Jeff and to be introduced with this 60's show was absolutely incredible. So pleased to hear this band progressing after the past year of change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted December 29, 2010 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Another thought from last night.. some kid who looked very young was walking around the floor with his cell phone open showing the original Grateful Dead setlist sometime around the first set. He was tapping people on the shoulder to show off his discovery as if he was doing someone a favor. In my opinion this is just rude.. I've yet to see this happen at a DSO show andI would rather not know what is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyg Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 What I witnessed last night might have been one of the best shows I have ever seen. To be able to recreate a sound that I have only heard on my old sounboard cassetes is truly remarkable.The precision and detail must be admired.DSO delivers this level of intensity on a consistent basis which among many other reasons keeps me comong back.I started seeing the dead back in 1977 never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be able to listen to a live band deliver the sounds that were only available on recordings.DSO is not acover band they are a miracle.

Guest Lisacat Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 My opinion? I thought the show was very very good....however I can't compare it to the SF 69 show (avalon recreation)- which to me was just an utter psychedelic meltdown of a show-the creme de la creme of the 69 material- but I think that really had way more to do with the audience and setting (and what people are ingesting!). I actually think the setlist chosen for NJ was perfect for the crowd....I don't know if the NJ crowd on a whole would have responded as well to a slow jammed out duprees>mountains>dark star start as they did to the casey jones kick off. It was a LONG setlist for a 69 show...lots of music to squeeze into 3 1/2 hours or so of play time when the dead's show was probably a bit longer. Loved the Dark Star and all the pigpen tunes. Nice to hear the old school dancin' too! Glad everyone made it in safely...looking forward to tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopittome Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I really, really feel like I've been lucking out with DSO. Vasa Park in July 2009, an INCREDIBLE show in Madison last February (their longest show ever, 5+ hours), and then this awesome, awesome show last night. The only way it could have possibly been better was if they had made the smart choice to skip Dark Star, which has always been my "time for a bathroom/beer break" song.

I believe someone around here once said its ALL dark star. That happened to be one of the highlights of the show for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
