The Other Ones - 1998-06-02 - San Rafael CA (SBD)

The Other Ones 1998 - #1: After Jerry Garcia's passing in August 1995, the band officially retired the name the Grateful Dead, announcing "that the long strange trip of the uniquely wonderful beast known as the Grateful Dead is over. Although individually and in various combinations they will undoubtedly continue to make music, whatever the future holds will be something different in name and structure." For the next 2 years, the band members pursued individual endeavor, though, they worked collectively to sponsor The Furthur Festival, a summer tour that featured a collection of bands with links to Dead, such as Bob Weir's Ratdog, Mickey Hart's Mystery Box, Hot Tuna, Los Lobos and former GD keyboardist, Bruce Hornsby. Then, in 1998, they decided, in the words of the blues Brothers, to put the band back together. The 1998 version of the Furthur Festival saw Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh & Mickey Hart reunited to form The Other Ones, which was lifted from the title of the Grateful Dead tune That's It For The Other One. The name was appropriate it reflected that the new band was something different from, yet related to, the Dead. The 1998 version of the Other Ones also included Bruce Hornsby, John Molo, Steve Kimock, Mark Karan and Dave Ellis.  This soundboard recording captures the Other Ones warming up for their first tour, in San Rafael, on June 2, 1998, 23 years ago today.  Download this one, the stop back on June 30 for the secobd part of this Same Tour, Different Show entry.
