Dark Star Orchestra kicked off a three night run in Colorado on Friday night. The first two shows of the run where in Boulder at the Boulder Theater. Tonight’s finale will be at Red Rocks where they will recreate the Grateful Dead’s Red Rocks show from the same date on 9/8/1983.

On night one of their run, DSO chose a juicy 1976 show to recreate—July 13, 1976 at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco, CA. The show kicks off with a monster “Mississippi Half-Step” and never stops! DSO throws in a couple of bonus tracks for good measure including “Mr. Charlie” and “Box of Rain.”
