Song Review(s): Grateful Dead - “The Other One” -> “Stella Blue” (Live, July 26, 1987)

Those who like to say the Grateful Dead weren’t particularly psychedelic in 1987 need to hear “The Other One” from July 26 of that year and repent.

Barely hitting the five-minute mark, it is nevertheless juicy as Phil Lesh plays a calmer version of his early-days rumbling intro, Bob Weir fairly screams the first verse, Jerry Garcia spins webs and Brent Mydland splashes color over the propulsion of Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart’s drums.

It was released alongside “Stella Blue,” which arrives after a crooked “->,” as part of the band’s “All the Years Live” video series. While “Stella” seems destined for mediocrity, the Dead spring to life on the bridge and Garcia responds with a gritty guitar solo that he deftly brings down, along with the band, to near silence.

So, yeah, the Grateful Dead were absolutely psychedelic in ’87. Tender, too.

TAKING A PHOTO OF A PHOTO BEING TAKEN -- WAY BACK TO THE OLOMPALI YEARS.

NOTE: The person in between Bob and Bill is Ken Babbs, not a member of the Dead.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1053x1557 -- Spotlight on a group portrait of American rock band, the GRATEFUL DEAD, photographed by Thomas Weir during the band's "Aoxomoxoa" period at Olompali State Park in Novato, California, c. 1969. 📸: Sylvia Clarke Hamilton.

OVERVIEW: "The Dead had a close connection to Olompali – it was, for them, something like sacred ground. After returning from Los Angeles in spring ’66, they moved to Rancho Olompali and stayed there through May and June, renting the property for several weeks.

Though they weren’t there long, they would remember their stay as an idyllic golden age, a “paradisiacal retreat.” (Although sometimes in their acid trips, they’d have threatening visions of the ancient Indians who’d used to live there, their spirits still haunting the walls and trees.)

The band held some famous parties during their stay, playing music for a stream of tripping visitors from San Francisco. On one occasion, May 22, they sent a flyer to all their friends in the music scene: "The Grateful Dead invite you to an afternoon of inter-galactic travel, to a communion with the spirits of long dead Indians, to a dance celebrating mainly all of us.""

One of the best live albums and my introduction to this incredible band which I first heard in my early teens in the early 70's.
