With its fanatical attention to detail, the hottest Grateful Dead tribute act, Dark Star Orchestra, returns to the Smith Opera House.
Using entire shows from the Grateful Dead’s 30 years of extensive touring as a launching pad, Dark Star Orchestra recreates the original song-for-song performance set list for a new generation of Deadheads.
Dark Star Orchestra performs Grateful Dead classics in the same way that a symphony interprets music of classical composers. The composer spirit is derived and channeled as the players capture the excitement and innovation of the original performances and compositions. Precision is king with DSO, which position the stage plot based on the year of Grateful Dead show to be performed, adapting phrasing, voice arrangements, and even arranges specific musical equipment for the various eras of Dead music performed. At the end of every performance, the band announces the date and venue where the original show just covered took place. Dark Star Orchestra dips into every incarnation of the Dead, so most fans can see shows that happened long before they were born.

Doors open at 7 for the 8:00 show. VIP ticket-holders receive early admission to the venue (6:15 p.m.), preferred seating, and an event poster.
