Dark Star Orchestra – Celebrating 45 Years of Reckoning

Dark Star Orchestra brings its celebrated Grateful Dead tribute experience to The Anthem for a special evening honoring the 45th anniversary of the Reckoning album. The show serves as a Rex Foundation benefit, presented as part of the All Good Presents series, and promises a night of Dead classics performed in the band’s signature faithful-but-fresh style. Fans can expect a dedication to the acoustic-tinged live album Reckoning, originally recorded in 1980, alongside the exploratory spirit that defines Dark Star Orchestra’s performances.
