Dark Star Orchestra • Music

This 3 CD set was recorded live in digital stereo at the State Theater in Ithaca, NY on the 30th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s concert in Barton Hall at Cornell University on May 8th 1977. To celebrate this famous show, the band recreated the set originally performed on 5-8-77. The recording was mastered by DSO’s own Rob Eaton.

All proceeds from this CD go directly to the “G. Larned Port Education Fund” for Scott Larned's daughter. Scott was a leader, co-founder and, for years, the band's manager helping guide this thing through some tricky waters in the early goings. His swirling hammond organ and glassy piano trills captured the eighties-era sound backed up by a most effective growling Mydland-esque voice. He is missed by many.
