Grateful Dead Black Peter

1970-03-21-CapitolTheater

All of my friends come to see me last night,
I was laying in my bed and dying.
Annie Bonneau from St. Angel say the weather down there so fine.

Just then the wind came squalling through the dark,
But who can the weather command?
Just want to have a little peace to die,
And a friend or two I love at hand.

Fever roll up to a hundred and five.
Roll on up, gonna roll back down.
One more day I find myself alive,
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.

See here how everything led up to this day,
And it's just like any other day that's ever been.
Sun going up and then the sun going down.
Shine through my window and my friends they come around,
Come around, come around.

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 come run and see, run and see,
Run and see, run, run and see, and see.

I think this is my favorite "GD" song.

So Soulful and Mellow...

Great live version. Miss the organ, harp and harmonies offered on the studio version but they had a tough time chiming in and doing this one well live. Best left alone with Jerry handling the vocal alone. His voice was in fine fiddle at this point and he flows through this beautifully here. Billy holding down the pace nicely too.
