The Other Ones was an American rock band formed in 1998 by the remaining Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh , Bob Weir , Mickey Hart and the occasional member Bruce Hornsby . The band was named after a song by the Grateful Dead.

Band history

After Jerry García , the band leader of Grateful Dead, died on August 9, 1995, the band was officially disbanded on December 9 of that year. The individual members gave themselves up to their solo projects. In 1998, former members were asked to attend and perform at the Furthur Festival in Vermont . However, since the name Grateful Dead had officially dropped and did not want to take it again, the group The Other Ones was founded and announced by the organizers as the headliner.

In 2000, Bill Kreutzmann , who previously played in the Grateful Dead, joined as Phil Lesh left the group. In 2002 Phil Lesh came back and Bruce Hornsby left the band for it. Over time, the line-up of the band changed often and musicians such as Mark Karan , Steve Kimock , John Molo , Dave Ellis , Alphonso Johnson , Jimmy Herring , Rob Barraco , Jeff Chimenti and Susan Tedeschi played in the group. In 2003 the band was officially renamed The Dead .

The Other Ones continued the style of the Grateful Dead by playing the Grateful Dead songs at the concerts and continuing to improvise on stage. A highlight of the short existence under this band name was the Furthur Festival in Vermont in 1998, from which they participated annually. For this purpose, a double CD with the name The Strange Remain (Arista Records) was released in 1999, which received average to good reviews. In addition to the Furthur Festival, three major tours took place every two years within the USA (1998, 2000, 2002).
