What had been planned as a quiet, symbolic expression by United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War (IJCAM), quickly became a heated ideological dispute between the non-partisan group and Students for America. The Students for America members also interfered with a JMU Today production team's attempt to videotape UCAM members by repeatedly stepping in front of cameras and shouting slogans. JMU Today was videotaping the group for a feature story. JMU Today field pnduccr Sandy Hack said, "Those guys need to be spanked by a board with a nail in it." As UCAM members started forming a human peace sign around 5 p.m., Students for America members appeared waving Bush-Quaylc signs and sounding a megaphone with a hand siren. George Uribe, a national field director for the group, raised the megaphone and began shouting "peace through strength." Stressing his support of the Strategic Defense Initiative, Uribe said, "If a nuclear bomb were to attack our great nation, the peace shield. will protect and defend all freedom-loving Americans and all human beings during war."

    “This is a great band, and I had a great time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead founding member (guitar/vocalist) “Inspired and accomplished musical discourse at such a deep and serious level: I had no problem at all believing that this was what the Grateful Dead sounded like 40 years ago.” David Gans, Grateful Dead Hour “I've always been impressed by DSO, but the other night I thought they'd taken it to a new level. It was some of the best Grateful Dead music I've heard in the past 20 years, and that covers some ground. Somehow, Jeff Mattson manages to play Jerry's parts perfectly in the spirit, but without any sense of being imitative. And boy, does the band pick up on this energy. Big fun!” Dennis McNally, Grateful Dead publicist & biographer 1980 – 1995; Author “A Long Strange Trip: The History of the Grateful Dead” “As one who is classically trained, I actually always thought that DSO was very cool, treating Grateful Dead music as repertoire- much as I've tried to do in my various bands.” Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead founding member (bass/vocals) “Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.” Donna Jean Godchaux, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest “There are moments where I can close my eyes and go back 30 years and have it be every bit as rewarding and satisfying. Dark Star is an amazingly legitimate representation of the Dead.” Dan Healy, Grateful Dead sound engineer 1966 -1994 “Thank you for a real good time.” Jon Fishman, Phish drummer after sitting in with DSO “The Dark Star Orchestra re-creates Grateful Dead shows with a flashback-inducing meticulousness.” The New Yorker “...recreates the Dead concert experience with uncanny verisimilitude.

  • The Other Ones the Strange Remain (Arista)
    The Other Ones The Strange Remain (Arista) The recipe for a successful jam-band reunion reads something like this: three parts Grateful Dead, two parts Bruce Hornsby and the Range, a splash of sax, garnish with a couple of guitarists, serve chilled. As the Other Ones' performance at last year's Furthur Festival proved, you can't keep a good band down. Three years after the death of Jerry Garcia, founding members of the Grateful Dead–Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Mickey Hart–put the act back on the road. Bruce Hornsby, who joined the band temporarily in 1990, played keyboards and brought along longtime drummer John Molo from the Range (and, recently, Hart's Planet Drum). John Ellis of Weir's Ratdog added some brass. Steve Kimock (who played with former Dead members Keith and Donna Godchaux) and Mark Karan filled in on guitars. This project is hardly a Dead rehash; the two-CD set collects recordings made at the Furthur Festival, spotlighting the new, the old and the different. Weir struts his stuff on "Jack Straw," and on the unreleased "Corrina." Hornsby's "White-Wheeled Limousine" and "Rainbow's Cadillac" get the full-out Dead jam treatment. "Only the Strange Remain," an eerie trip, is originally from Mickey Hart's Mystery Box. The bluesy "Banyan Tree," penned by Weir, Hart and Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, debuted just last year. Lesh shines vocally on "Mountains of the Moon," where fans insist his voice sounds better than it has in decades. Jerry is obviously not on this album, and on tunes such as "Friend of the Devil," "St.
