On March 30, Florida resident and Dead & Company bassist Oteil Burbridge dropped in on Dark Star Orchestra's Pompano Beach gig, performing the tail-end of a "Space" jam into a classic "Truckin'"
"What a blast it was to sit in AND be in the audience for Dark Star Orchestra at Pompano Beach Amphitheater - The Amp this past weekend!" Burbridge wrote on Twitter. "DSO sounded great and it was a pleasure to sit in with them for the first time!"
Like many DSO shows, their March 30 performance was a recreation of a previous Grateful Dead show. This time it was the band's 9/11/82 show from West Palm Beach, Fla., which also happened to be Rhythm Devil Mickey Hart's 39th birthday.
The concert opened with a rocking "New Minglewood Blues" and, later, after Burbridge's sit in, DSO closed things out with "Stella Blue," "Around and Around," an appropriate "One More Saturday Night" and, finally, "It's All Over Now Baby Blue."
The Oteil sit in also followed a March 29 sit-in by sacred steel master Roosevelt Collier on "It Hurts Me Too" and "Viola Lee Blues."
