This loving homage will make you fall in love with Grateful Dead's music all over again, or for the first time.* ***DJ Darkstar Dan*** *DJ Darkstar Dan hosted and DJ'd the original Bay Area Grateful Dead Night, starting in 1992 at Nickie's. Mixing up live tracks from different eras of the Dead, based on the energy and vibe of the event and space, he soon gained a Deadicated following.
