Kenny Brooks, formerly of RatDog, will join Dark Star Orchestra at their May 30 show at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. The saxophonist will help the group recreate the Grateful Dead’s March 29, 1990 show originally performed at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY.

On that night, Branford Marsalis sat in for the entire second set, marking the first time he’d join the Grateful Dead. The band also released the show, available to purchase
here.

On the sit in, Marsalis said, “When I agreed to sit in with the Dead in 1990, I didn’t know what to expect, aurally or visually. What I experienced was what I remembered music to be in my younger years, something that I’d felt was lost long ago. Process over product.”

Tickets to the Dark Star Orchestra show are available here.
