    With an intimate rock-based band and setting and answering questions from the audience, this exclusive set of shows will continue throughout June. Special guests for the much-anticipated performances include GRAMMY-nominated Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall and acclaimed, offbeat singer/songwriter Dan Bern.

    Daltrey was inducted into the Rock and Hall of Fame with The Who in 1990, received a Lifetime Achievement award from the GRAMMY Foundation with the band in 2001, and received Kennedy Center Honors in 2008. Considered to have one of the most recognizable singing voices of all time, Planet Rock listeners voted him Rock’s fifth-greatest voice in music history. Known for his magnetic presence and rebellious creative spirit, Daltrey has been an actor and producer with multiple roles in films, theatre, and television.

    He’s released ten solo studio albums, including the acclaimed discs Daltrey, Ride a Rock Horse, One of the Boys, and the 2018 release As Long As I Have You, and such hit singles as “I’m Free,” “Giving It All Away,” “Without Your Love,” “Free Me” and “After the Fire.” Queen Elizabeth awarded him a CBE for his service to music and charity in 2004.

    Daltrey is the Teenage Cancer Trust’s Honorary Patron and co-founder of Teen Cancer America (with Pete Townshend). On March 15, Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler released a new, special recording of his composition, “Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)” featuring over 60 of the finest rock performers ever assembled on one iconic track, including members of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Dire Straits, The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen, Black Sabbath, Rush, Guns N’ Roses, and many more.

  • DSO plays Dead in Utica

    On Thursday March 14, Dark Star Orchestra (DSO) kicked off their Spring 2024 Tour at Utica’s Stanley Theatre. DSO has been performing continuously for 26 years paying tribute to The Grateful Dead. Known for playing The Dead’s actual concert setlists DSO treated the Utica Deadhead faithful to their own uniquely crafted setlist. 

    The show opened with classic Grateful Dead opening song “Cold Rain and Snow” which featured all seven DSO musicians on stage. Vocalist Lisa Mackey left the stage for the Bob Weir classic “Black Throated Wind”. Balloons and some varying scents began to fill the air when the band broke into the standard “Deep Ellum Blues”, a song covered by Jerry Garcia’s solo projects as well as The Grateful Dead. Part of the fun of DSO shows is to guess what Grateful Dead concert they may be playing.

    DSO Utica

    After “Deep Ellum Blues” there was a lot of chatter in the crowd about what show this could possibly be. Keyboardist Rob Barraco switched from piano to organ and the band kicked into the opening riffs of The Dead’s 80’s rarity “My Brother Esau”. It seemed as if there was a collective epiphany from the crowd that We were in the midst of an original DSO setlist. “I like how they did their own set list and how they have the low energy and then bring in the high energy.” Said Debbie Rathbun. The band next slowed things down with the Hunter/Garcia ballad “So Many Roads” featuring Jeff Mattson on lead guitar and vocals. This was one of those “close your eyes moments” in which Mattson’s guitar tone and phrasing was beautiful and so spot on to Garcia’s. DSO kept it mellow following up with the Brent Mydland song “We Can Run”, sung by Rob Barraco. Earlier in March Barraco performed two shows with original Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh celebrating Lesh’s 84th birthday at The Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. 

    DSO continued to mix Grateful Dead favorites, rarities and Jerry Garcia Band staples in set 2. The first deep jam of the night came shortly after the opening song, “Help on The Way”. The instrumental “Slipknot!” showed off DSO’s prowess, tightness and put on display live in Utica why they are the world’s premiere Dead tribute. “Franklin’s Tower” seemed to have the entire crowd inside the beautiful Stanley Theatre on their feet. The band sounded fresh and really seemed to be having fun with smiles abound. Rob Eaton delivered Bob Weir’s “Corrina” with ferocity and passion. The band continued to groove and segway from song to song eventually turning over the stage to Dino English and Rob Koritz for a lengthy, trance-like  “Drums”; a staple of The Grateful Dead experience. Set 2 concluded with “One More Saturday Night”, appropriate after a night of weekend energy on a Thursday Night. 

    The Rolling Stones “Honky Tonk Women” was the lone encore, capping off a night of fun, song surprises, reminiscing and originality in Utica from the world’s number one Grateful Dead tribute. 

    DSO Utica

    Dark Star Orchestra – The Stanley Theatre, Utica, NY – March 14, 2024

    Set 1: Cold Rain and Snow, Black Throated Wind, Deep Elem Blues, My Brother Esau, So Many Roads, We Can Run, Midnight Moonlight, Box of Rain, Greatest Story Ever Told, Shakedown Street
