Dark Star Orchestra were back in Madison recreating the Grateful Dead experience, this time with a set from the May 4th show at the Olympia Theater in Paris France, the legendary Europe ’72 tour. Listed as show # 1766 on the band’s website, this performance also introduced the Madison audience to Jeff Mattson on guitar and vocals, doing a swell job channeling the Jerry Garcia spirit. A fun, epic 4 hour plus mid-week performance was just the dose needed to keep on truckin’ through the work week! Here’ s the set list from the show and some pictures…
