Dark Star Orchestra, the long-running Grateful Dead tribute act, brings their note-for-note recreation of the Dead's legendary live sets to The Refinery on Meeting Street. Known for pulling full concerts from the Dead's actual touring history — reproducing a specific night's setlist, era, and sound — DSO offers something closer to a time-machine experience than a typical tribute show.
Doors open at 7 PM for what's likely to be a dedicated crowd of Deadheads and jam band fans. The Refinery, with its industrial-chic space on the Upper Peninsula, makes for a solid mid-sized venue for a show like this.
