DARK STAR ORCHESTRA COMES TO MISSOULA MISSOULA-- The band the Washington Post called "the hottest Grateful Dead tribute act going" will perform two live Missoula shows in November. The Dark Star Orchestra will play at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 2 and 3, at the Wilma Theatre. The show is presented by University of Montana Productions. Tickets are $15 for students and $18 for the general public. They are on sale now at all Tic-It-E-Z outlets or by calling (888) MONTANA. Unlike some Grateful Dead cover bands, the Dark Star Orchestra performs authentic set lists, song for song, from past Dead shows. "The DSO are capable of rendering a nearly perfect imitation of the sound, performance approach and texture of a Dead show," wrote a PauseRecord reviewer. "And with the addition of a willing audience, the band is quite capable of realistically invoking many a journey into the past."
