Furthur / The Dead / The Other Ones | OtherOnes.Net

set one- i love set one! ALL CLASSIC DEAD!
Jam before Straw sets up the tune and set!
"Who *ever* would have believed that Cold Rain & Snow would be considered the slow song of a set?"

Set two-
FANTASY- As much as i hurt at times over Garcia, this tune just gets me thinking about Brent. He literally had become a frontman in the band by 1990, there were so many nights he would just carry the band to new heights.
I am kinda surprised JK does not go for the HEY JUDE more often being into the Beatles.
Fantasy--still needs something for it to work for Furthur??
PASSENGER-where was this song in the late 80s? It rocks!!!
AUGUST WEST-JK has got this down and good support from the rest of the band with the backing vocals.
WHARF to POTATO is good with Phil heavy in the mix.
2 tunes from distinctly different G.D. time periods.
NEW POTATO- used to listen to Anthem of the SUN cranked way up looking out at the N.Y.C skyline Songs like N.P.C and Floyd's GRANDCHESTER MEADOWS got me thru living in a city of 8mil souls cramped into a shoe box.
The jam in NPC is pure space, and really this song and the other's on Anthem are so psychedelic.
Now if I could stay totally dancing, locked in thru drums and space now that was something,
Oh Phil hits the Cryptical bass line and they are all right on it. This is another one of those tunes that Jerry played often until 1971 but then only once in 72 and five times in 85 and that was it.
To me it is like Sailor before Saint and Weather before Let it GROW! glad they are exploring the full tunes again!!!
OTHER ONE- This is highly explosive, Phil is the second drummer on his bass , all kinds of trippy noises and effects,
CAUTION-Always reminds me of the Batman theme or the Kinks doing Milk COW Blues medley but I digress
This is perfect for Weir to sing and the jam carrying over from Other 1 is right on the surface of Phils bass leads,
The All YOU NEED part is where Pig used to get the band so fired up! A blues song moving as fast as Lightning.
KINGSOLOMON'S-ready for a Drum solo!!
JK is playing!!!Phil too!!Nice Piano from Jeff C
I remember taking a musical appreciation class at Queens, and the instructor was real into the Cello and he would play us some real obscure classical stuff, none of which impressed me very much, although now i can appreciate some of that stuff a little more but it would be fun to play this for somebody who has never heard our music before.
DEATH DONT- sing it Bobby! putting some reverb on his mic, Jerry just blew me away when he brought this back on the Warlocks tour.
Great backing vocals by JEFF P and Sunshine!
One reason I don't review too many Second Sets is because it is difficult finding enough free time to sit and listen to a whole second set at least for me.
The ELEVEN-they are just hammering the old extended jam tunes, I am not even sure if i could dance my way throught this second set without some oxygen, they are just relentless, Phil's bass lines so strong and JK playing beautifully, Perfectly worked this tune dare i say better than it was back in the day.
It is a wonderful time to be a child of the 60's
You know i really hope that 2012 SABBATH tour with OZZY rocks -"Symptom of the Universe a love that never dies"
LOVELIGHT-Really just cake! My face already gone.
Phil's rap-got to admire Phil -much better than politics.
e) TOUCH-You laugh after such a blistering set but there are people coming to these shows and the only dead tune they have heard is 'Touch' so let them get some, Is this not one of the most hopeful tunes that the band played in those dark days of the 80's.
When we were all in the spotlight briefly
and 50,000 plus summer shows were a regular thing.
We Will Get By , We Will Survive!
