Archive copy sounds like its recorded through a tin can, but excellent groove, jam. For headphones only.

Want to know what it means to mean it? Jerry means it here. The vocals and solo are heartfelt and full. Great reference to Bill Evans here, merryjerry, spot on. As part of the Playin' suite to start all suites, this is just glorious.

This one is furthur, faster, and hotter than others of the time. Goes up and up and up. Jerry breaks into falsetto at one point.

Subtle and soft by comparison to others from Fall '72, but full of dreamy drifting visions and mellow soaring.

In the right headspace, and when the band was on like it was here, Black Peter live was an extremely powerful collective experience of death and dying. I've always felt it to be one of their most psychedelic songs for this reason. If you've ever gone deep into its trance and felt yourself spreading thinner and thinner until your very molecules could no longer really be called "yours" anymore, only to find yourself reassembled and joyous once they pulled you back from the underworld and plopped you back into your body, then you'll understand: The crowd got taken for a long deep ride here.
