    Very discouraged by DSO and some states decision to do drive in radio broadcast with no amplifiers. How can you enjoy live music without feeling it in your body?

    Rob Barraco does not get enough praise. He has played great for years, is fairly versatile with Dead vocals, and damn if he doesnt smile the whole time he is playing. Agree with what you said. Zen Tricksters were great.

    DSO Shows in Portland/Eugene
    I will be attending both these shows on 4-1 and 4-2. I will be coming down from Seattle area (due to work constraints, cannot attend shows in Bellingham or Seattle). Looking for someone to share ride down Friday afternoon, and/or probable return late Sunday afternoon. I'll drive and provide tunes; you provide good company. Also looking for people to meet before shows for dinner, drinks, etc. Contact me here or at tiedyehigh@gmail.com.Thanks, and enjoy the music. "Whatever comes to pass Will just pass right on away"

    anyone seen DSO since John left the band?I haven't gotten the chance to hear the new lineup yet, and I'm curious to say the least... I'm weighing Grateful Fest vs. the July 2 Furthur show, & a review of DSO's new guitarist would make my decision leaps and bounds easier!

Dark Star Orchestra to their fans: Dear DSO Fan – Thank you for joining us and being a part of this continuing, long strange trip these past 12 years. Your support and excitement for the music has kept us going strong for over 1700 shows. Throughout the years, we’ve had transitions both difficult and uplifting, yet the positive energy of our fan base has continued to propel our mission onward for performing this important music and for keeping this vibrant scene alive. That said, we, as a band are entering another chapter in this story. Dark Star Orchestra’s lead guitarist and one of its founding members, John Kadlecik, has decided to resign from DSO. John’s last show with us will be on December 5 in Buffalo. DSO is supportive of John’s choice and we wish him the very best. Dark Star Orchestra will continue to bring you this music at its highest level. In our 12-year history we have gone through three drummers, three keyboard players, three bass players and numerous rhythm guitarists and we have always managed to keep improving the sound and the experience. We will be taking on a new player with his own talents and energy and turn yet another chapter in DSO history. Veteran guitarist Jeff Mattson of the Zen Tricksters and Donna Jean Godchaux Band, will be joining us this week, on the New Year’s run, Jam Cruise, and for our upcoming Winter Tour that begins in February. We assure you all the things you love about the Dark Star Orchestra experience will continue, and we ask for your patience, friendship and positive energy as we keep truckin’ on… Dark Star Orchestra

I think Stu Allen is THE Jerry Guitarist out there....vocally and musically...here's a link to a show I recorded a month or 2 ago...it's a SBD feed mixed with a lil Audience to add to the ambiance. The show's smokin hot. http://www.archive.org/details/schwag2009-09-19.sbd.mtx (listen to Standing on the Moon if you only have time for one) "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.
