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.

Suddenly Stella and Sadie are giving big ‘romantic tension’ energy what the hell.

Also, why did we not get an august/Sadie reunion moment didn’t he have a whole crush on her in her three episodes last season? Like I get that he’s having a crisis about almost selling all of his music stuff but. It would at least be awkward! For a moment, right? But I’m so excited actually cause I waited two whole episodes for her to return and shes actually in it a whole lot more than before.

(Maybe I just missed a line with the august thing I was too busy looking for characters I hadn’t seen yet so)

All the years combine They melt into a dream A broken angel sings From a guitar In the end there's just a song Comes crying like the night (wind) Through all the broken dreams And vanished years

Stella Blue When all the cards are down There's nothing left to see There's just the pavement left And broken dreams In the end there's still that song Comes crying like the wind Down every lonely street That's ever been

Stella Blue I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel Can't win for trying Dust off those rusty strings just One more time Gonna make em shine

It all rolls into one And nothing comes for free There's nothing you can hold For very long And when you hear that song Come crying like the wind It seems like all this life Was just a dream Stella Blue
