Dark Star Orchestra :: 12.31.15 :: Electric Factory :: Philadelphia, PA ::

Grateful Dead tribute act Dark Star Orchestra celebrated New Year’s Eve at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia on Thursday night. The band put together their own setlist that included an acoustic first set and final two sets straight out of 1969. DSO teamed with Peak Experience Productions to present a spectacle as the clock approached and turned midnight with a gold-painted “Dream Tree,” confetti cannons, LED hoopers, stilt walkers and costumed performers among the craziness. Photographer Suzy Perler was on hand to capture the action
