FURTHUR FESTIVAL 2000 The most common Grateful Dead icons relate to bones and skeletons, but in the new millennium it should probably be the phoenix, the force of energy that eternally arises from its own ashes to shed light again. The Other Ones arose from the Grateful Dead in 1998, and Dead Heads rejoiced and danced at the Furthur Festival in cities across the nation. The fire's still burnin'. And it's time to go Furthur again, this time with 2000's version of The Other Ones. Grateful Dead Productions and Metropolitan Entertainment are pleased to announce the return of The Other Ones to Furthur: Mickey Hart (percussion, vocals), Bruce Hornsby (keyboards, vocals), Bob Weir (rhythm guitar, vocals), Alphonso Johnson (bass), Mark Karan (lead guitar, vocals), and Steve Kimock (lead guitar). Supported by Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Furthur will tour North America in late August and September of 2000. In certain lucky selected cities, other special guests will be included -- check local listings. The tour will play in amphitheaters as well as arenas, and fans can anticipate more than two hours of music nightly from The Other Ones. Furthur is not your average tour. As producer John Scher said, "Furthur was a concept that was created for the fans, the Dead Heads. It's not only music, but a unique musical and sociological experiment, and the fact that the musicians want to continue the experiment into the new century is just plain great." "We had something pretty damn powerful," said Bob Weir, " -- and real nice -- put together the last time we were out. Our aim is not to pick up where we left off but to exceed that. We know what we're doing, and we know where we've been, and it'll be fun to see where this all takes us." "The Other Ones were a blast the first time around," said Mickey Hart. "We have new songs, great energy, and the will to play. Missing a year has us just increased our thirst for playing music with each other again." "I'm with those guys," said Steve Kimock. "Seriously, the first Other Ones tour was the trip of a lifetime for me, and I have no doubt that this one will be even better. I really am looking forward to hitting the road again." Let Bruce Hornsby have the last word: "Once again the embattled warriors of Grateful Dead land, bruised and battered by the internecine warfare of the past two grim seasons of Richard Dawson-esque Family Feuding, embark on a month-long tour of the American shed circuit. Why have we decided on another stroll down counter-culuture memory lane? Because two years ago our Other Ones' tour was musically very special, and we would like to try to create that same feeling once again." In addition, the tour will be preceded by a Hybrid Recordings release of Furthurmost, another in the series of Furthur compilation CD's containing material from each artist on the tour. Stay tuned; this movie isn't over.
