would it be fair to say that the first drums, and space first appeared on Anthem of the sun?

the last couple minutes of Other one really sound like a Spacey-type thing. and then the drum solo in alligator.

in a lot of concerts, the setlists say "Alligator>Space>Alligator"

the 2nd "alligator" being the part where they go "ALLLIGATOOOOORR" because the live versions and the studio versions of alligator have the same structure, in that sense.

another question: why did the dead keep playing Morning Dew and Other One as their two psychedelic jams. they had some others from back in the day that i thought would be cool to hear in 95.

i meant to say "Alligator>Drums.."

not space.

Actually, Space & Drums in concept started in the 60s for the band and Anthem is a mix of live and studio. So I'd say that no, Anthem was not the first because the first would have been live.

But without 2 drummers, drums didn't really seem to have much time. Plus they played with a lot of feedback which of course, was very similar to spaciness.

TOO was a staple because of Bobby and it was easy to transition to from just about anywhere.

MD - I think Jerry just loved it!

yeah, anthem really messes with my head. all that converting from live to studio back to live.

ony of my favorite guitar lines from anysong comes just a few moments before the "allliiigatttooorrr" part of the song.

def. one of my favorite albums, too.
