John Kadlecik 2004 - Back To Back - #1: In 1997, John Kadlecik co-founded Dark Star Orchestra, which was originally intended to be a one night a week Dead cover band. Before long all the group members quit their other projects and began concentrating on the group full-time. The band would often recreate set lists from a particular night in Grateful Dead history. Kadlecik had an uncanny ability to emulate Jerry Garcia's playing and singing style.  So much so, that in 2009, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, original members of the Grateful Dead, asked him to join Furthur, one of the many projects that the former members of the Dead embarked on after the death of Jerry Garcia. He would also later play as part of Phil Lesh & Friends. This soundboard recording captures John playing alongside Melvin Seals, who for many years was the keyboard player for the Jerry Garcia Band,  Afton on October 8, 2004,  21 years ago today. Download this one to see for your self how much Kadlecik sounds and plays like Garcia, then come back tomorrow for the 2nd half  of this Back to Back set.
