Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and all you travelers of time and space, gather round for a tale of musical alchemy, a story spun from the strings of guitars and the whispers of the past. We present to you the Dark Star Orchestra, custodians of the Grateful Dead's ethereal legacy, who've been conjuring the magic of the Dead's live shows for over two decades and across more than 3000 performances.

The Grateful Dead performed at more benefits than they can count, to the point where they (amazingly!) got organized and created the Rex Foundation 40 years ago in 1984. Each year thereafter they would play shows for Rex, rendering unto the common good – small nonprofits that benefited society in the realms of the environment, arts, Native American issues, and education. This year they will celebrate grants that now total over ten million dollars given to over 1,400 grantees, a proud benchmark.
