Grateful Dead - The other one 1968 live

[MrMattybeats]

check out the other one off of europe 72 vol two. its thirty minutes long. it comes out of a dark star so its like a dark star wrapped around the other one

[OrpheeD]

Hommage to Neal Cassady (year of his death)

[chasefukuoka61]

sweeeeeeeet..

[zaphodfortytoo]

Raw a fuck

[djdogeni]

this is a gem

[jerryme2100]

Dude all the "THE OTHER ONES "I would think about commenting on are a LOT longer than 3:00 they get raaaaaaaawwwwwweeeeeeeerrrrrrr­rrrrrrr than this .

[Hazlenuts1991]

Good version but the performance at the  Carousel Ballroom 3/17/68 is better.

[Hazlenuts1991]

MrBalaw28 I agree should Put The Whole Song Too short!!! Amazing song despite The length

[MrBalaw28]

this is trully an epic jam but way way to short raw yes! but ive heard jerry pull of jams longer and more powerful than this short snapshot into the other one. it is missing the intensity of 5//15/70 the long beginning that just gets you ready for more and more until they hit you with a 15 min jam intense

[theXartXofXpimpin]

best stuff was when they were the warlocks and tripping mad lsd with there fans

[daveniner]

Is that pigpen on organ, or Tom Constanten?

[theotherone1965]

@daveniner pig pen

[NeoSquadillah]

The Other One from Grateful Dead (Skull N' Roses) is a great version! It's up to us to keep the dream alive...

[bluesriot2]

It goes to show how powerful the industry was then and is today when you look at how this incredible national treasure that is without a doubt the Dead and their amazing music was practically and for all intents and purposes completely overlooked and I know so many people who think that the Dead were country bumpkins because of Workingmans and American Beauty. The frenetic energy was overlooked for the cutesy British accents of the Beatles, and look at who got single of the Decade from RS mag

[darost]

As a diehard Beatles fan and a diehard Dead fan, I agree that the American music industry was short-sighted (the musical equivalent of Hollywood). The Dead were quintessentially American and could have been loved by crossover fans of nearly any genre of popular music, and their incredible talent deserved a much wider audience. Still we're lucky any of us got to hear anything at all considering the mighty forces arrayed against them.

[brotherbuttcrack]

Somebody recommended I hear the dead. So I downloaded the first 2 songs from Live/Dead. I immediately started going through withdraw from not having the whole thig

[geekorthodox9]

i might even add that the literary dimensions of this song and born cross eyed draw upon Platonism as found in the tales of the Golden Age of Cronus when the sun rises in the west...'coming around, in a circle'...!

[willruddock]

The Other One from 3/2/69 is the greatest Other One ever! In fact, the March 2, 1969 performance at Fillmore West is the greatest performance of all time. A complete first set that has Bob Weir shaking at the end, and an unforgettable second set from the cartoonish opening of Doin' That Rag to the chilling climax. What is this fascination with this group called The Beatles?

[philzkidz]

haha, i feel the same way, this fascination with the beatles..

[geekorthodox9]

indeed!!!

[kajaja420]

@willruddock dicks picks vol. 4 disc 2 is a pretty good performance too. I also downloaded this version of anthem of the sun thats not the actual one, but has this solid rendition of it, but its just the other ones with out the other parts

[willruddock]

I agree. I like the Not Fade Away tease they play during the transition from Cryptical into the The Other One.

[tomonsterboy]

Heh heh heh! I;m still on that bus! The Other One really IS an (overlooked) acid-rock classic when you put it up against some of the more mainstream music of that era.

[boodaliscious1]

"keeping my earballs open..." =)

[skellykees]

neal cassady lives on

[nadmenny]

I drive that bus everyday

[hightechelec]

I saw a replica of "Futher" at the Hog Farm in...1995? Tim Leary was riding on top- threatened to jump off the roof and fly...and shouted how the Moody Blues were WRONG! "I ain't dead YET!!"

and several of the pranksters were within- wow- that wuz FUN!! Ken and Timothy are missed!

[Anghdhpstr]

Correction: The Smithsonian museum wanted to acquire "Further," but Kesey didn't want to give it up so he sent a fake one in its place, which didn't work. Ken Kesey parked the bus in a swamp, (and it became quite rusted) And currently resides at Ken Kesey's ranch where workers are wanted to assist in the restoration process.

[Anghdhpstr]

To stonerlaughy: even if Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters' bus titled "further" was still in operation it would certainly not be used by anyone, it would be in a museum, which I'm almost possitive it is now.

[StonerLaughy]

"the bus came by and I got on"

it's 2009 and the bus is still going, long live the hippie spirit : )

[booksteve]

where is this recording from? the band sound really hot. Thanks for posting.

[1999wharfrat]

This is from the Carousel Ballroom.

[Jenscool]

And a gr8 place it was in the late 60's.

[CadillacL]

This is the most raw I've heard them. I've been a fan since 80s when I heard "Touch of Gray" I was born in '71 so that was really the first time i heard their music. Anyway, I know have Grateful Dead Movie & Closing of Winterland. Thanks for posting this.

[moshwangles]

thats cool, and raw is a good word for this.

have a nice day man

[CadillacL]

You too bro.

[sisifo]

yesterday i buyed 'live dead', well awesome. but i think 'anthem of the sun' better

[caseyjones67]

the other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded, solemnly they stated, he has to die, ohh you know he has to die,all the children learnin, from books that they were burning, every leaf was turnin, to watch him die, the summer sun looked down on him, his mother did but frown on him, and all the other sound on him, he had to die, youknow he has to die , spanish lady come to me, she lays on me this rose, it rainbow spirals round and round, it trembles and explodes,man best lyrics ever

[cadetstarnoodle]

I really appreciate the rawness and feeling behind this. Wait! It just stopped when I expected more! Alas. Whaddia sayin', that that's it for the other one?

[moshwangles]

ya, this is in the middle of cryptical envelopment,

[circlestream]

song makes me want to come around

[sugarhollowdaddy]

This song, like no other, reflects the insanity, joy, hope, innocence, and chaos of the youth culture in 1967-1969. Cowboy Neil at the wheel on a bus to never-ever-land!

[Altoonasuks]

[crashing78]

the smoking crater of my mind.... It is not mentioned much, but The GD were also a power/hard rock band. I love this. Thanks for posting this.

[moshwangles]

no problem glad u liked it

[pbl1]

its not mentioned much because its not so. at this stage, they were psychedelic/blues

[poopies474]

yeah they weren't much of a power or hard rock band and i am thankful that they weren't
