May 8th, 2004 ~ The Fillmore, San Francisco CA
The Heart of Gold Band and Dark Star Orchestra
It just gets better! What a night at the Fillmore! The show was completely sold out and their were only 12 tickets available at the door. Miracle fingers were everywhere, and anyone who got their miracle knows this was THE show to have one for.

Donna lights up a room with her smile wherever she is and she has been ON... "Looks Like Rain," was as good as any version I've ever heard, and they tore up "The Music Never Stopped." The dance floor at the Fillmore felt like tectonic plates were shifting underneath us like a 7.0 quake! It was surreal how much they sounded like '77 Dead. The best summary of the evening came as Dave Mackay, Donna's husband turns to us during DSO's 1st set and rhetorically says, "You think Donna's having a good time up there?" We are all jazzed at what a good time she has been having! Watching Donna onstage doing all these old Dead songs is fantastic.

Here's how it all went down:
