“Fanatical attention to detail.” – Rolling Stone “Dark Star Orchestra takes its act to a level of detail that befits a rock band famous for its fanatical following.” – Associated Press “The hottest Grateful Dead tribute act. A cover band for people who don't like cover bands.” – The Washington Post Critics aren’t the only ones singing Dark Star Orchestra’s praises. Five original members of the Grateful Dead have played alongside DSO and have had this to say: “A couple of times when I had my back to John (Kadlecik) onstage and he started to sing, I had this weird sense that it was Jerry.” – Bob Weir, Grateful Dead co founder/ vocalist/ guitarist “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
