Examples of song reprises

Reprise can also refer to a version of a song which is similar to, yet different from, the song on which it is based.
  • The Grateful Dead Frequently used "reprise" in several songs during their live shows. Extensive touring of over 30 years helped them pioneer this technique, which is difficult to get right. Playing in the Band often would be used as a jumping off point to a jam and several other tunes. Often played in the 2nd set it would sum up a suite of songs with a "Playing in the Band reprise", sometimes after 6-7 consecutive songs. Another form of this would be "The Other One" where the band would play the first section of the song and use it as a jumping off point for a jam. After the jam resolved it would often lead into other Dead tunes and at some point they would work their way back into a jam and go back into "The Other One".


Here is an example of a typical set set list of Dead songs. A ">" indicates a seamless transition from one song to another:
Grateful Dead Hartford Civic Center May 28, 1977
Estimated Prophet>
Playin' in the Band>
Terrapin Station>
Not Fade Away>
