- Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Spanish lady come to me, she lays on me this rose
It rainbow spirals round and round, it trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away
But the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day
[Chorus]
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle
[Verse 2]
Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began
There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land
[Chorus]
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle
Coming, coming, coming around
Coming around, coming around, in a circle
One of the first albums I ever bought. I loved the artwork, I had never heard of the Grateful Dead. The music was better than the artwork. I was 12 years old, and a Deadhead for life. I'm now 67 yo. Bless you boys.
Way back in the beginning of GD life I opened for the Warlocks. My daughters family are Dead Heads for life. I was raised on Brit bands for life BUT I can only give love credit to this wonderfully talented band of musicians. I'm a 40's / 50's jazz music person now but I think I may be becoming a Dead Head. It's finally happening!
YaY!
Weren't The Warlocks tied to The CIA?
@@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms
True - there are videos out there. The CIA did experiments using LSD during the 1950's and apparently beyond.
In the truest sense, they were a jazz band. Improvisation was at their core. The same songs every concert, but totally different each and every night - sometimes for eight hours.
@kevinmclaughlin2706 country music seems like a much more obvious influence as a whole save for the extended drum solos. Santana is way jazzier if anything.
for the last ...almost... forty five years to me this has been, still is, and always will be the quintessential Grateful Dead tune.
The bus came by and I got on... that's how it all began for me... and you?
For many, this was the "one" that when you LISTENED you understood what the Grateful Dead were all about. I bought Anthem of the Sun in NYC the day it came out and listened to it with my first set of "Good" Headphones when I got home. I don't think I left my room the next day.
blusmahn the infamous Furthur bus Neal Cassidy drove. The beginning of The Grateful Dead. The history in a song :)
It began for me BEFORE I went to my first show @12 years old @ Hollywood Bowl in 1974 with THE WALL OF SOUND !!!! And,i STILLL got to "experience" "Orange Sunshine" (Aka:Owsley Orange ) a few years later !!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Now,a few years later,I got a hold of some more Owsley Orang (Aoiut a hit and a half) And thne inside the show,I got about a gram and a half of some good shrrroms and I was high FOR Years.!!! But,I/m MUCH better now.And,I've even had some of the newer "designer" lsd and hnestly SOME of it...I liked much better !!
Bob Matthews is my grandpa so i grew up 100 feet from a studio constantly playing and remastering the dead shows. also my spent every Christmas at tiff garcias house so kinda just born into it.
The Ultimate sound of this
Era.....unbelievable....
Been on the bus to long to remember my favorite Phil riff . Billy is a god
I toured with Dead along the east coast early 80’s, tripping ass off nearly every day. Needless to say, what a long, strange trip it’d been!!
Sweet titties . I love when the Phil bomb hits .. Spanish lady comes to me lays on me this prose , it trembles spirals round and round, ...coming around
High school motto of ‘02.
Fuck phish
I call bullshit. What band and what is your beams?
Bands name….not beams
This slightly slower tempo, just makes the song all that much more cinematic. It's got a heaviness to it, and the band is playing so tightly, it's such a perfect execution of this song.
I don't even really listen to the dead but I always come back to this song thru out my life just for 5:08
That bass!!!
That roaring baseline just might be my favorite ever
Ikr HOLY COWWWWW my jaw every single time b like😮😮😮😮😮
Bravo Billy 🥁 🎶 🎶🥁
5:08 and on,mindblowing!! This is why I love the dead!an explosion of creative genius!
You’ve never heard anything so dope in your entire life!!!
I have. It is the studio version of The Other One.
and there were Grateful Dead concerts, and then there were the concerts we saw until the Grateful Dead came back.
Still relevant!
fuck yeah
I'm a great lover of those first trippy high drum playing in some of the trippy rock bands of the 60s' and 70s' Like Jim Fox of James'Gang, Mick Michell and Neil Peart . And also Barremore Barlow with Jethro Tull but I can't stop to say just how much I first tripped off of those 2 great drumming brothers of the Grateful Dead M.Hart and B,Kreuztmann . I seen those 2 the most doing it on the high peaceful places out west in sunny California.Peace to you drummers still hitting out there for us ol' hippies
This is just Bill - during the Mickey exile.
@@Mrbeahz1 you are so right . Go billy , pretty early stuff , great recording . I can't hear any keys , maybe Keith was napping .
@@davidcurtis7547 I don't think that Keith was in the band yet. I think he joined in '72. I know he's not in the album photo.
Si simply btilliant
the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day
Cly Howdiness. If you'e the Liz-beth I think you are, please say Hi to David, Doug and Sue.
Vajra Pani yes it's me!
Elizabeth Snyder yup big time
This is it folks
I've been a Deadhead for 35 years. The Other One is my favorite Grateful Dead music. It has the trippy, spaced-out psychedelia paired with a faster tempo than say Dark Star(which I also love)........and don't forget the lyrics; oh my, the lyrics, people!!!!!!!
I was 21… divorced, back at home with my parents
They were out for the evening…
I donned the best earphones available in 1975….
But I was unaware that the speakers were still working…
They came home!
Shit!
My mother smiled comparing it to how thrilling experiencing Gene Krupa live was
My father (yeah, NY) he was going to drive me up to Woodstock
I could see CSN
One of the best versions of this song, can actually hear Weir...
Loved them high school 1970
It is a great recording , right off the board
Cowboy Neal at the wheel ....Coming around
I recall around 76 when I bought three Dead LPs at the recommendation of a buddy in grad school. Picked this one up Live Dead, Wake of the Flood and American Beauty. Once I added Europe 72 a year later I was in Dead Land to stay. One of the early mailing list deadheads back in the later 70's. :)
larry wallen jr what a great way to introduce yourself to this group.
@Tilden Cats I just listened to that tonight on 275ug. I'll be honest. I fought liking this band for the longest time, but now I get it. I'm a youngster(38), but I see the light. I know I get it bc I don't NEED the LSD to get it anymore. But, boy does it add to the experience...
yea ....thats one drummer !
Umm… no
Freakin’ way
(Come on you tube, let me edit when it post before being done)
@@stephantelm4922 uh yeah. Billy don't need no stinking help! Get it straight, buddy.
Yep, Hart was on hiatus during this time (early 1971- the second set of the last show in '74).
So clear!!!
In our Hearts, if Nothing Else !!
you have to smoke a joint play this as you cruise thru the back hills and roads of the Catskills on a summer day from a fishing trip, when life is slow and lazy!
love upstate ny ,,, albany here ,,
Right on. Done that plenty....but up in Cobelskil.
Frank Roger funny I live in Delaware county
Canandaigua/rochester here.
I have missed the bus most of my life, but on 5/30/24 at 18:30 in Las Vegas. The bus came by, and I got on. Never knew what I was missing until now.
After Anthem of the sun ,this was my 2nd Other One experience- the bands crackling with energy,doin it live,the way the Dead do it best.
phils crunchy bass riff at 5:08 .simply brilliant
michael maira yes!
michael maira man dude pretty bad ass
When I saw them in`74 with the Wall of Sound, Phil had each string designated to one forty foot stack each that spanned the entire system. So when he did his 'crunchy bass riff', the sound traveled from left to right on all four stacks, one at a time. Pretty awesome.
@@monopolymike1 The Wall of Sound was truly awesome - and expensive. That costs of touring with that thing almost bankrupted them.
He never played it better than here - especially the riff following at 05:11
an absolute journey
This song reminds me of when I went to Red Rocks for Further shows!
Neal Cassady!
Smoking crater of the mind, like to get blown away.
Very Happy Birthday Phil!
the best the other one that ever was or ever could be
MY GOD
God's own bass tone!
THE BUS CAME BY AND I GOT ON THATS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.
4/28/71 Fillmore East. This one fades in during the final notes of "Cryptical Envelopement." I've always wondered why they didn't include the entire song.
Because that particular 'Cryptical Envelopment' was a disaster; hard to believe because THIS was so awesome.
I've been playing guitar and banjo for over 20 yrs with Jerry's major influence. I'll never forget the constant rewind of GD cassette tapes in struggle as a teen to figure out the beginning first few seconds of leading A riffs as well as the rest in lead picking of E n' D with the E, D, C, A, G (coming around...) Kids today have no idea how lucky they are with UA-cam. Of course, Original ear learning as long as it takes, brings more diversified skills.
Jeffrey Nelson
would love to hear.
start a UA-cam.
TOO correct,my friend !!!!
youtube is like a search through my old cassette collection. Only better.
Hear! Hear! Jeffery! I wore out the first 4 albums from playing them over and over until the fidelity was worn off the vinyl. It made me a much better musician(guitarist). I bought the first album in '67 as a senior in High School. I never looked back. 😎
Haha all these years never tried playing it and because of u I got it in minutes...thanks!!
Just love that meltdown space out monent on this. Like the Dark Star peak pause. Brilliant. Inspiring
Love hearing Phil’s bass come rolling in…
5:10 i can give a good into but sheba holds that fire... from beyond eternity...
Absolutely fucking EPIC. Bob weir is a genius lyricist
Best GDamned musicians in the FCKING WORLD !!!
Sadly, they were fairly crap when I saw them at Finsbury Park Rainbow in 1981. The smack had started to affect Garcia even then, I fear.
A true deadhead!
Classic!!
I was looking at a big orange California sun set
Saw them four times. Never got to see dark star or this saw terrapin though
🦋
Totally agree with Vajra Pani
Lucky You ! Never got to go there ! Only saw Bay Area & LA Shows !
From 10:29 to 10:33. I've always loved what Garcia played there.
I've always loved what all of them play at any point in any version of this song
Isaac swan I agree.
His singular note fills in between the phrases were like an instrument in itself. Very much up and in your face. I’m guessing he moved away from that to two and three note triads to fill the sound in bigger venues throughout the 70’s. Other than the blues players not a lot of guitar players took a chance like he did
I'm so impressed right now...wow..nfa
And im dancing
yes it appeared as if by magic. I climbed abord myself.
+cindi dup Yes, I remember you climbing aboard!
Yeah dig it. Sounds like one of them starts it off. Im a drum solo fanatic lol i love that short instrument part in the front
That would be the tail end of "Cryptical Envelopment", which was typically the beginning of the suite from 1967, but by this time, "Cryptical" was becoming increasingly rare in their live performances and would disappear entirely over the next year before being revived for a few shows in 1985. "The Other One" would remain a regular part of their repertoire through 1995.
l agree !
Bill K fucking kills this!😀
This is the song that brought me into the light. 13 yo., puberty, drugs, girls, acid, amd the fucking dead! “98
Best "drums" ever (to me) :)
Billy is a beast!!!
Yeah, too bad they mixed out too much of the highs/cymbals. There's at least one bootleg from this night where these drums sound even better.
But Billy had stamina - and swung - like crazy. Easily one of rock's all-time-underrated drummers, and the Dead were much tighter with just him alone. (Although they were also much tighter during Mickey's second run than his first.)
Don’t feel too bad..
Don’t Worry About It, only reason was able to go to a Fillmore Show, was due to my friend’s Dad went & drove us ! Otherwise, would’ve been Verboten !!
Let Phil Sing !! Unbroken Chain !!
The GREATFULL DEAD
Live forever
The only version that comes close to this - and where you get to SEE them play it - is their German 'Beat Club' TV performance of 1972, which for some reason seems to have disappeared entirely from UA-cam (perhaps due to the part where Pig's keys are TOTALLY off for a number of measures?)
Winterland 10/17/74 is on UA-cam and it shows them playing.....
@@VoluntaristJAM Uh, yeah: I was talking about top-shelf performances of 'The Other One,' none of which come from 1974, as far as I know.
@@xianshep In 1974, their standout exploration songs were really "Eyes Of The World", "Weather Report Suite", "Truckin'", and "Playing In The Band". "The Other One" and even "Dark Star" from that year did at times sound as though the band was getting tired of those two songs.
saw Closing of Winterland Show - It ended at Dawn.. Seven friends went, so Great !!
Dad made me miss the Bus..fuckin square.
Shouldn’t hate, some people get it, some people don’t, that’s all
🎉
Sí señor
@05:08 ..... PHIL!
Gotta build up your calluses for this one
This is acid song!
How many shows have you been to, and which was your favorite? I wrote this question on 275ug.
I have been to 0, as I am too young(38) to have seen them before Jerry died(without my parents taking me, which never would've happened), and really just started understanding their grooves these last 5 years.
You can write on 275ug?
Were Bob's vocals ever better?
Anyone know if it was just Billy on the drums? Or was it the two?
Obviously Billy
Neal Cassady
uss johnston taffy 3
Its jus5 a vgroo ve man
From what album is this song?
Raul,it's "commonly known" as teh "Skiull & Roses" album (Since Warner Brothers wouwldn't let them nam it what they they wanted (wHICH WAS "SKULL fuck " !! Look up either eityher name on wikipedia and you'll het a very interesting explenation of this !!
The studio version is on Anthem of the sun
@@deadfungi1Which was itself comprised of several live versions and possibly some studio recordings.
I know it's from the album, but which show did this come from?
4/28/71 at the Fillmore
Anyone know if this is Billy or Mickey
Both
@@saucearsonist7046 Just Billy, Mickey left the band at this point.
@@91117182035 True. Mickey left in February, 1971. This solo is all Billy the Kid.
the song that killed Pigpen!
Elaborate please!
Yes pls
@@nickg1601 Dead PIG Suite. 🐷🐖🐷😔
@@nickg1601 he couldn’t deal with 3/4
Weird
Maybe if this song was 15 minutes shorter, it would be a little more entertaining.
lol, ya, but it wouldn't beThe Other One.
@@VoluntaristJAM and the other one wouldn't be this one; it all evens out.
