Grammar

Plural with the

Hi,

1. When you go to a concert, observe (the) other concertgoers.
2. At the party he looked around. (The) other guests were drinking or socializing.

From the point of view of correct grammar, is it "other" or "the other"? I was told that "the" means all/those who were there, zero article is less specific (some who were there). Is that right?

That's right. It's implausible to observe all the other concertgoers, but you can look at all the other guests at a party,
