  • 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.

    1 “ON MERCER” Rediscovering The Genius of the American Songwriter, Johnny Mercer, Giant Of The Great American Songbook: [Up Close, Moving and Personal] by Frank Gagliano [email protected] ONE: MERCER RESTART My Johnny Mercer journey started — well, restarted — sometime in the 1990s, when I first read “Roses In The Morning,” browsing in a bookstore in Pittsburgh. This was the title of an essay in Gene Lees’s book, “Singers and The Song.” (Oxford Press, 1987). The title of the essay referred to songwriter Johnny Mercer’s ritual of sending a dozen roses in the morning to people Mercer had insulted the night before, when he was very drunk. What first attracted me to “Singers and The Song,” however, was the cover: The iconic Frank Driggs photo of a young, skinny Frank Sinatra, standing on a stage, in front of a 1940s vintage microphone, in the midst (probably) of singing one of his signature ballads, arms down and out from his sides, palms up, head tilted to his left shoulder, eyes shut tight, wearing a tailored double breasted grey pinstripe suit with floppy grey bow tie, in full spotlight, against a black background, with only a portion of the accompanying white piano catching part of Sinatra’s spotlight. Whatever that venue, one could almost hear the bobbysoxers in the audience, squealing and swooning. 2 In the bookstore, I thumbed through the Sinatra essay and saw, immediately, that the chapter dealt with the artistry of the singer, and how Sinatra had revived the public’s interest in America’s greatest popular songs, and how Sinatra had also revolutionized the art of singing those songs.

Heads crane from the balcony, knees twitch, a chain of excited coughs. I pull a string into tune. The crowd waits, would wait for hours, just to listen. We are about to begin an event, a shared experience of collective spirituality tapped through primal desire for music. I am the crier, they the devotees, ready to sing along to my naked intimacy, to the feelings and melodies that make them think of me as an intimate. Adjust myself on the stool, take a deep breath.
