This was a bizzarre weekend. Rain had been falling steadily during the week prior to the festival, so the entire place was MUD, mud & more MUD.(Mud can be FUN !!) There were dancers in the crowd covered head to toe in it.(Mudmen)

It was raining as DSO took the stage & they were asked to make a weather service announcment regarding an impending storm front approaching. Many people tried to leave at once, causing a major single file traffic jam towards the exit. The majority of people who hung out got to hear Steve K. & John K. share leads(both world class players). Thank You DSO for being creative & cheerful through incliment weather.
Peace,

This was the 2nd set of their show, which is the set that Kimock played on. It is also all that the band gave me.

thank you to whoever posted this. i dont think you could grasp how long i have been looking for a copy of this stella. honestly..i even emailed dino who also agreed that it was incredible. i am a deadhead all the way but i am not one of those who downplays DSO. if you saw them 420 or saw this version of stella your mouth would have been as wide open as mine was. i posted earlier on archive a sincere plead for this stella to be circulated by someone and here it is. thank you so much. it held me captive and was my finale for all good.

Nice recording but abbreviated. Is there more or is this the entirety of the show? 5 for what is here!

Thank You DSO!!!

I was at this show (All Good Music Festival), and when I saw this, it confused me. Dark Star played a set before this, including Scarlet->Fire->? , Estimated Prophet, and Terrapin. They said it was the rest of a show they had played previously. It was amazing, and I'm disappointed it's not posted here. If anyone has a copy, please post it!

The Dead who?

Hey Hatta,

I know Kimock is awesome, and I hear him ripping through on this Eyes, but I'm giving it a listen, and I think the guy you're talkign about who is so damn close to sounding just like the happy fat man is none other than John Kadlecik (sp?), the guy who plays Jerry's part in The Dark Star Orchestra.

I wasn't at this show, but i'm happy to see people posting dso shows--which leads me to my point-does anyone have the electric factory show in philly, 11/19/05? post it!

With the dead effectively leaving the archive, I guess there's finally a reason to download some DSO. Always loved their shows, but when the real thing available I never bothered before.

Awesome show, awesome sound. No surprise Jerry called Steve his favorite unknown guitarist. It ain't the real thing, but it's damn close. A lot nicer than some distant sounding aud, plus I can actually download it and burn it to a CD!

First of all thanks to Charlie Miller for getting this fine show featuring Steve with DSO up on the Archive. So big thanks to CM. The part of the show that really showcases Kimock on fire is the Eyes > PiTBand...he's smoking.
Great tone, great sound all around.
Kimock definately put a spark in DSO as well.
Excellent show_DL this immediately.

This is the best Dead cover band currently touring. The energy at the shows is amazing. The jams are tight, the Bob guy is over the top, as the previous reviewer wrote, and the addition of Baracco on keys is sweet. I agree that it is just as easy to download the Dead as DSO, but as far as a live show, it earns two big thumbs up.

Excellent sound quality, and this is possibly the best GD cover band I've ever hard. This is the first time I've ever heard them, and I bet they are a lot of fun to see live. The Bob guy is a little bit over the top, but- isn't that kinda appropriate? The Jerry guy does a decent vocal impersonation, but most importantly they know how to jam, and how to rock out from time to time. (I'd really like to hear them do a stretched-out 1973-era Here Comes Sunshine and really crunch it up.) Also, much like the good ole Dead themselves, more playing and less singing would be a a good thing. I found it worth a listen, and would possibly go see these guys play, but I don't think I'd ever listen to them again, and that's why only 3 stars: There is just too much of the real stuff around out there to listen to an imitation, even if it is a very good imitation.
