Dark Star Orchestra at The Cap
Before heading to Europe, Dark Star Orchestra’s Europe ‘72 recreations come to life ‘50 Years Later’ to The Capitol Theatre, offering the Dead’s performance from Lille, France from 5/13/72.
Adding to the band’s authentic sound at this show is the presence and participation of Jerry Garcia’s ‘Alligator’ guitar; a 1955 Fender Stratocaster originally used by Jerry on the Europe 1972 tour, shared with DSO’s lead guitarist Jeff Mattson to handle and elevate the specific tones from this legendary instrument.
Here’s the Dead Set List from May 12, 1972
