The whole band received this this morning At 80 I was probably the oldest one in the audience so maybe my comments will be dismissed. But I've had many years listening to the Dead and for the past few years listening to you guys. I've always been impressed with your shows but Monday's show hit another level. Had that have been the Dead who performed it, it would have been treasured as one of the classics. I am still on a high. Thanks for an incredible evening and thanks to the crew for an impeccable set list. What way to keep this music alive and to honor the memory of those who first got on the bus. God Bless you all.

What he said;-)

“ I don't go to see DSO to see their creativity come through.” i reallt dont know ehat to say.🙉

The music must move forward. It’s the nature of the beast. Dark Star Orchestra must move forward. Elective set lists are necessary. I was sceptical at first but I now understand. The success the band has achieved as a result of our support has led to this. I now embrace electives and am eternally grateful to the entire band and all of it’s supporting cast for the sacrifices and devotion they have made and given. Anything less than commitment in return is beyond my comprehension. That’s what love is, baby....that’s what love’ll make you do.

A few of us such as me have been listening to the Grateful Dead longer than you have been alive but I can't or just don't bother to remember years and even eras that various songs were played. For me, that it is being played "tonight" and I can dance to that song once again is the most import thing. I try to learn the years just so I can keep a reasonable conversation with you and other loved friends. Peace and Love, Doc

Guess people think you guys transcribe dead shows and then perfectly play the transcription...... the funny thing is that in a show like this, the dead could have performed this and only a song or 2 is a giveaway that this is an original and unless you know dead really well you couldn’t tell an original from a recreation . Most shows I go to I hear people in the bathroom say do you know what year the show is even when you have an unbroken chain and alligator. Keep making these epic setlists!!!! Edit: but a courtesy heads up would be great so we can hop a flight

Sometimes it’s on us to pick up th energy of those around us. The band brings it every night.

This was my 3rd time seeing DSO (saw the 2 Wellmont shows last year) and this was by far my favorite show. I love the early, primal Dead stuff. As soon as I got there and saw Jeff and Skip's Gibsons (as well as an acoustic) on stage, I knew it was going to be an awesome show. Mountains of the Moon > Dark Star was incredible imo. At the same time, I completely understand what Mojo is saying, even though I don't agree. The people sitting next to me were there to dance and were disappointed by the song selection (in that context, understandable). A lot of people started heading for the door during Death Don't. Still, I really enjoyed it. Hopefully heading out to Penn's Peak this weekend. I took some (not so good) cell phone videos that I can upload here if anyone wants to see them

Come to penns. Find our spot. Feel our energy. It won’t matter what era their playing. You will feel it.
