DSO is a cover band that can't even be bothered to come up with their own setlists.

DSO plays at least one original set list a week

they tend to play under aprechiated dead music for thier original setlists
 
Yeah, they are good, so you Deadheads to have shrugged them off are missing some good music.
Not saying I'd choose them over an original band, but they are very good.
 
uh, no. zane kesey sells it; it is considered an official release.
 
Soundboards can still be downloaded, but its just frowned upon
all the boards that were on archive.org that were removed are still there, just hidden.

goto www.deadlists.com and they will direct you to the show you wish

Wharf Rat... What happened to the hooded, in the shadows, KGB's, doses... Pick'n up 5 sheets at 16 for $375... What happened to all those good memories? Im missing a little Jerry Garcia Band quick little fall interupt tours, what happened to summer, spring, fall, and winter tours. What happened?

Why? I'd pay a few grand easy to see a classic out east show, HighGate, Vermont... ahhh, kids these days dont have diddly squat for music, be for a few fair bands, IMO.

The Scoop: Ithaca Mayor Declares May 8 Grateful Dead Day
Ithaca — In honor of the 30th anniversary of one of the Grateful Dead's most legendary performances that took place on May 8, 1977 at Cornell University's Barton Hall, Ithaca Mayor Carolyn Peterson will declare May 8, Grateful Dead Day in Ithaca.

The headlining event of this anniversary celebration is Dark Star Orchestra's recreation of the Legendary May 8, 1977 Grateful Dead concert.

Tickets for Dark Star Orchestra are on sale now. They are $24.50 in advance or $26.50 at the door. Go online at www.stateofithaca.com, by phone at 273-4497, or in person at The Ticket Center at Clinton House located at 116 North Cayuga St. in downtown Ithaca or at the Theatre on the day of the show to purchase a ticket.

The Mayors Proclamation is as follows:

Proclamation from the Mayor of the City of Ithaca

Whereas, the Grateful Dead have been recognized by many highly credible organizations, individuals and entities including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as significantly important and integral to the musical and social fabric of our contemporary culture, and

Whereas, on May 8th, 1977 the Grateful Dead performed in Barton Hall on the campus of Cornell University in the city of Ithaca New York, a concert that is widely acknowledged and regarded as a defining and transcendent occasion and example of the art of contemporary musical improvisation, collaboration, musicianship, and performance, and

Whereas, many tens of thousands of individuals who were not in attendance that night in Barton Hall, have become knowledgeable & familiar with the extraordinary nature of the performance on May 8th 1977 through the trading and sharing of recordings of the show, and

Whereas, the cultural identity and perceptions of Ithaca as a community, have been informed and bolstered by the widespread acknowledgement of the magic of May 8th, 1977, and

Whereas, it has been said many times by many people that, “there is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert”,

Now therefore, be it resolved that as Mayor of the City of Ithaca, and in heartfelt recognition of the thirtieth anniversary of the May 8th 1977 concert performance, I declare May 8th 2007 as Grateful Dead Day in the City of Ithaca.

5-16-81 is the best of the three barton hall shows.
