The second sampler album associated with the post-
Grateful Dead Further Tour contains a few recordings made on the first edition of the tour during the spring and summer of 1996, among them a version of the Dead's "Cassidy" by former Dead guitarist
Bob Weir's band Ratdog, and two tracks drawn from the show-closing jams and including many of the participants: "All Along the Watchtower," featuring Weir,
Jorma Kaukonen, and Cesar Rojas of
Los Lobos and done in the
Jimi Hendrix arrangement; and "Proud Mary/Not Fade Away," featuring members of former Dead drummer
Mickey Hart's
Mystery Box and
Bruce Hornsby's backup band, done in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue and
Grateful Dead arrangements, respectively. Looking forward to the 1997 edition of the tour, the
Black Crowes provide "Somebody's On Your Case," an outtake from their Three Snakes and One Charm album, and there are also tracks by Moe and
Arlo Guthrie.
