Well, as soon as they came, they’re gone. What a weekend blowout it was though with Furthur at the Fox, they really proved that the Dead’s music is alive and well, still able to take on new forms and flavors. All we can do now is hope for some more dates to be announced. John K. posted via the DSOForums website that ‘more dates are in the works, but likely nothing on the east coast until at least 2010’. It’s also yet to be seen if Dark Star Orchestra or Furthur will be playing NYE this year. So far, DSO has announced shows for Dec 28th and 29th only, both in Virginia. Look for New Year’s announcments in the coming weeks. Until next time – furthur on up the road.
