12/08/02 - Will TOO do annual Terrapin Station tours starting in 2003? Lesh told the Worcester Telegram & Gazette (07/06/02), “I want [Terrapin Station] to be like the circus where we come to your town and just set up for a couple days and then go to the next town.” Then the Boston Globe (11/15/02) reported, "As to the future, Weir and Kreutzmann say they'd like to have the Other Ones tour annually, but Lesh says that at least for next year, he'd like to spend time with his two sons, aged 13 and 16." But Barraco told Jambands.com (11/24/02), "Phil is. . . being closed lipped, but I'm sure The Other Ones are going to do more playing. I don't know this for sure, of course. It could change on a daily basis. I bet we tour next summer."
11/29/02 - From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
Although the band has not talked about recording, and has no plans past the year's end - Lesh will go solo again, taking Herring and Barraco with him - the players insist this is no nostalgia trip.11/24/02 - From a Jambands.com interview with Rob Barraco:"It's more than good playing," Hart says. "It's catharsis, you know? It has that inner clockwork, which you can only get from 30 years.
"It would be criminal not to continue with this."
John Patrick Gatta: As far as the future goes you talked about some solo work, some solo touring, but what would you like to see whether it be Phil & Friends or The Other Ones do as far as future?09/12/02 - I will be posting Other Ones Fall Tour updates and articles over on Grateful Dead Resources Galore.Rob Barraco: I'd like to see both of them do something. I don't know what Phil's plan is. He said to me, looked me in the eye and said, ‘Hey Phil and Friends is not over.' But I think that Phil is probably going to want to experiment, do something maybe a little different. He's being closed lipped, but I'm sure The Other Ones are going to do more playing. I don't know this for sure, of course. It could change on a daily basis. I bet we tour next summer.

In regard to unretiring the old name, all I've got to say: if it looks like a whale, smells like a whale, eats like a whale, and is recognizably a large aquatic sea going mammal that spouts and sings like a whale - why call it a squid?

the guys are getting along so well they're talking seriously about taking the Other Ones on the road. Don't say I told you, but I think it's a reality. They all want to, so what should stand in the way?07/15/02 - JamBands.com: Mickey Hart Performs with Phil & Friends (Jones Beach)

"Depending on how things go, there is every possibility of additional [Other Ones] shows, lots of them," [Dennis] McNally said.

"if you don't have a ticket [to Alpine Valley], don't come," [Phil Lesh] stressed. If these concerts are compromised by unruly fans it's going to hamper any future reunion plans -- which "we are talking about."07/06/02 - From the Worcester Telegram & Gazette:
the Grateful mothership was interested in doing something along the lines of a big, mobile festival to celebrate the history and music of the band. Original plans called for a permanent museum, archive and performance space to be built, sort of a Grateful temple to be called Terrapin Sation after one of the band's popular song suites.07/05/02 - New Alpine Valley Update from The Band
“Setting up a fixed place that people had to travel to was not as attractive to me as something that came to your town,” [Phil] Lesh said. “I want it to be like the circus where we come to your town and just set up for a couple days and then go to the next town.”
07/02/02 - There is a new Message from The Band regarding the Alpine Valley shows.
07/01/02 - From E! Online:
As for rumors that the Other Ones will reincarnate the Dead's traveling circus by hitting the road in the fall for a full-blown tour, [Dennis] McNally demurs, saying it all depends on how the August shows go and what band members decide from there.06/29/02 - From PollStar:
"For the record, nothing is planned," he says. But, noting the good vibe during recent rehearsals, McNally adds, "It wouldn't surprise me."
There are rumors of some fall shows for the surviving members of the Dead, but [Dennis] McNally said the band is taking things on a show-by-show basis. If anything, the traditional New Year's gig would be the first step.06/29/02 - From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
the Other Ones, the four surviving members of the Grateful Dead, will tour in the fall. Billy Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh will perform an undetermined number of shows together, said Jonathan Levine, a booking agent with Monterery Peninsula Artists.06/29/02 - From the Wisconsin State Journal:
Information on tickets sales for the tour will be released before the Aug. 3 and 4 Alpine Valley dates, Levine said.

06/15/02 - There is a new Message from The Band regarding the Alpine Valley shows.
06/13/02 - From Daily Southtown:
Tinley Park's Tweeter Center may be the scene of the first — and possibly only concerts — by the surviving members of the Grateful Dead since 1995.06/12/02 - From Mickey Hart:
In what could be a national event, concert organizers have approached the Tweeter Center about the possibility of holding two or three August shows after a bid to use Chicago's Grant Park was denied and a deal for Alpine Music Valley Theater in East Troy, Wis., hit a roadblock.
The shows — Aug. 5 and 6 and possibly Aug. 7 — would be the only concerts performed this year by the group, now known as Terrapin Station. The band wants to come to the Chicago market because its central location will make it easier for fans coming from across the country, Tweeter spokeswoman Pam Morin said.
------------------------------------
And a deal may still be worked out for Alpine Valley, where 70,000 tickets to shows on Aug. 3 and 4 have already been sold.
The Other Ones are working on a solution to the problem we are experiencing at Alpine Valley. There seems to be mass hysteria by local authorities over our planned shows at this venue. All this is speculation and confusion, which somehow will be worked out. Not to worry. We will play somewhere. The Other Ones have been in rehearsal for a week an a half, and it sounds absolutely fabulous. You're going to love this. Stand by. More to come ...06/11/02 - From JamBands.com:

The Walworth County Highway Committee voted 4-0 to turn down the request by Clear Channel Entertainment to stage "Terrapin Station — A Grateful Dead Family Reunion" Aug. 3-4 in East Troy.06/11/02 - In a new Message from Mickey Hart, Mickey writes about Terrapin Station, Bembé Orisha, etc.
