In Loving Memory of Jerry Garcia (August 1, 1942 -- August 9, 1995). Excellent soundboard recording from October 29, 1977, at the Field House, Illinois...

The beautiful thing about this song is how it builds in suspense until it hits the section where he says "See here how everything..."! Even more impressive how it is told in 1st person until Peter has started to transition to the other life, at which point we are getting narration from an outsider looking in as he dies. Just brilliant.

I saw this show, and still count it among the best I've ever seen. Garcia delivers not only a great performance throughout, but his vocal and guitar at the end of this thing are so passionate and so completely inspired it just blows you away. It was a great performance from a show that wasn't supposed to happen. I still get shivers hearing it. It's why the Dead were so insanely attractive to so many of us; moments like this made us listen and smile at the pureness and directness of it all. No one did it better.

@ourworld2154 жыл бұрын
well thank goodness you pointed that out cause you know listening to a 77 show can't be enjoyed for what it is without destroying it first.And certainly during this performance where I did not hear any wrong words or wrong notes improve or written Jerry was and had been a completely sober individual. I mean there hadn't been two distinct factions Waring already and the idea that anyone could forget lyrics from a list of hundreds of songs played in multiple bands over thousand's of nights would just be ridiculous unless it was but for... It's not that clearly a porting of the downfall isn't what you say it is your injection as though you came to some great understanding that if only everyone would be certain to include cavitation akin to Iranian backed or malign behavior then they may appreciate that some of the most intrinsic art, deepest philosophy and learned scholars have came and do come from Iran. So something like , Jerry's drug habits destroyed his ability to connect with the audience in the same meaningful way after years of drug abuse even leaving him to be forced to relearn guitar and his own lyrics after suffering from a six day coma; On October 29, 1977 Jerry had a stellar performance. This was during his most prolific period of taking multitudes of different types of drugs in different combinations for years. The long time drug taking drug induced flawless black peter brings inspiration to countless individuals. Helping them cope with life and death of friends, changes in their lives including post or current drug addiction and putting so many in touch with Americana music one of the most precious commodity the Untied States has been on the forefront of since its inception. Before you enjoy this drug music you must repent and you must tell at least three other people how disappointing it was to all of society that you were not participating in denying all that is good without declaring it bad first. black peter Oh, wait Jerry and Hunter already told us you silly jaded troll. You just had to listen to the song "I was layin' in my bed and dyin'... ...Just want to have a little peace to die, And a friend or two I love at hand... ....One more day I find myself alive, Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.... ...The people might know, but the people don't care, That a man can be as poor as me. Take a look at poor Peter, he's lying in pain, Now let's go run and see, run and see."

You're right, Chase, this is great stuff. For what it's worth, yours truly is captured laughing at the acoustic Black Peter on DP8 (Harpur College, 5/2/70), when Jerry sings "The people I know, but the people don't care." Why? Because not only don't they care, they're clueless, or at least so it seemed to me. I had no idea what this song later became. However, I agree with the late Dick Latvala that Harpur was the greatest show ever -- and as a student, I was there.
