The Other Ones, aka The Grateful Dead, begin their Fall tour today in Roanoke Virginia. Just wondering if anyone on the board is going to make it to any of the shows? Get back Truck'n On! |

I'd love to. Using realistic finance planning, however, I'm anxiously awaiting some Canadian dates. Phil's been to Toronto twice in the last couple years. The 1st being the tour they did with Dylan. Terrific show!
The East Troy shows were a huge success. |

They are doing a New Year's Eve gig at the Oakland Arena - like old times. I'm giving it some serious thought. The guy playing lead guitar now - Jimmy Herring (formerly of Col.Bruce Hampton's Aquarium Rescue Unit) - is no slouch. |

Just got back from the Roanoke show. The guys sound really good. There's a lot more jaming and taken chances then the last couple of years before Jerry died. Jimmy Herring is a damn good guitarist for sure. This venue was packed to the hilt! I think it sold out in like 30 minutes or something. It's nice to see these old schoolers out doing some great music again. |

I'd see Ratdog in a second--Hell I saw them when Jerry was alive, but the 'Other Ones', no.....too sad, it all ended 8-9-95, I don't fault them for touring--just that I will never see them as it all ended that day and it will be too sad to see those songs |

Nope, not doing the show tonight, that was the only one of the tour for me. Lotsajizz, you have to remember this is NOT The Dead. Without jerry it just wouldn�t be right calling it the Dead, but it is really really close. That's the beauty about this music, it demands to be played and these guys are just caring the torch. They know that it's not the Dead without Jer, but on the other hand, Jerry was not the dead, it was a collective effort. One thing about the shows today is they are going back to the way they approached the music in the 60's. They are doing a lot of old tunes that they haven't played in a long time. And talk about stamina, the show lasted three and a half hours! When the second set started they never stopped once, it was 2 1/2 hours of constant music, weaving in and out of tunes. Simply magical! |
