Musical Interlude No.05: Dark Star Orchestra

Since the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995 I have regretted not getting to Hamilton in `94 to see The Grateful Dead. A hard lesson was learned and I have not missed the opportunity to see my favourite artists again. I passed on seeing Dark Star Orchestra the first time they came to Toronto, blowing it off as just another cover band. Heck, I`ve seen The Dead, Phil Lesh & Friends and Ratdog which have former Grateful Dead members and nothing has ever compared to the real deal. My friends convinced me to take a chance on the recent DSO show and I was amazingly surprised to my delight. Consider me on the bus. PIX
