November 15th I attended the Darkstar Orchestra concert the Opera House in Toronto. An amazing show, I really could not tell the difference in some of the jams between them and the Grateful Dead, and I saw the Grateful Dead play 150 times. I got lost completely in the dancing which I haven’t done for a long time. I dance all the time and love it, both swing and house music, but nothing beats Grateful Dead Music.
The show they played was the Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, ILL (6/26/76)
