Minnesota Senator Al Franken—a longtime Deadhead and former SNL personality—made a surprise appearance at Dark Star Orchestra’s 9:30 Club show last night. Franken introduced the members of the group onstage before the show using many of the quips from his introduction to the Grateful Dead’s 1980 Radio City Music Hall run. Dark Star Orchestra then performed the Dead’s famous October 8, 1989 Formerly the Warlocks show from Hampton VA’s Hampton Coliseum in its entirety (though in his introduction Franken misidentifies the show by joking that Rob Barraco—who plays the role of late Dead keyboardist Brent Mydland—would be dead in three days). Dark Star will return to the 9:30 Club tonight.
