  • This Is a Great Band, and I Had a Great Time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Founding Member (Guitar/Vocalist)
    “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.

  • Black Tie Dye Ball
    Furthering a Tradition of Grassroots Giving Black Tie Dye Ball Nightclub 9:30 Washington D.C. December 3, 2005 Welcome from the Rex Foundation In the spring of 1984 the first Rex benefit was held in San Rafael, California. For the next 11 years, the Grateful Dead performed Rex benefit concerts across the country that resulted in over $7 million in grants to some 900 programs. In December 2001, the Rex Foundation initiated its renewal efforts by presenting benefit events and extending its reach to a broad base of supporters, and has since granted $512,000 to 79 programs. The Black Tie-Dye Ball is a celebration on many levels. We honor our history while also celebrating the success of our renewal efforts to connect with an extended base of musicians and fans who want to see the Rex Foundation once again fund many worthwhile programs. We extend our deepest appreciation to Dark Star Orchestra for their generous support. They have been part of the Foundation’s renewal efforts from the very beginning. Our firstBlack Tie-Dye Ball was held in Chicago in March 2004. Scott Larned whose memory we honor tonight was key to creating this wonderful event title that we now “take on the road”. We thank special musical guest Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay for helping create with Dark Star Orchestra both a unique musical experience and tapestry of musical past and present. We also thank our Washington, DC Host Committee for helping us create a successful event outside of our home base. Everyone participating in this event – musicians, production staff, in- kind contributors, ticket purchasers, generous supporters, and volunteers – are making it possible to not only celebrate community spirit, but also to support the Rex Foundation’s efforts to fund grassroots programs across the United States and beyond that might not otherwise receive mainstream recognition, yet work in innovative, bold and sometimes controversial ways to bring about helpful solutions to challenging situations.
