The “gold standard” of cover bands, the Dark Star Orchestra recreates Grateful Dead set lists with compelling and uncanny accuracy. Each night, this Chicago-based band decides on performing one show from the over 2,500 that the Dead performed during their 30-year tenure as the fathers of improvisational rock. Dark Star Orchestra will be at McCarter Theatre in Princeton on Monday, May 15 at 7 p.m. For tickets, visit www.mccarter.org or call (609) 258-2787.
