[edit] Continuing the Legacy
The Other Ones continued the musical legacy of the Grateful Dead, playing many Grateful Dead songs and utilizing a similar jam band style that emphasized musical improvisation. The name of the band was taken from the title of the Grateful Dead song from 1967's Anthem of the Sun, "That's it for the Other One". Although Jerry Garcia had died in 1995, "the other ones" from the Grateful Dead carried on.
[edit] Album
In 1999, The Other Ones released The Strange Remain, a two disk CD recorded live during their 1998 Furthur Festival tour.
