Just a full-on rocking get-up-and-jump version. Keith's blazes here.

Long fast and beautiful China jam to open 2nd set. Forgotten show? Check it out, heads, you won't regret it.

Crowd pumped up for this 1st set opener. Juiced and tight. Starts one hell of show.

Black Peter
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

A stand out Peter that should get much love. Driving pulse and almost a backbeat shuffle pushing it forward. Dig the uptempo Peters.

True beauty. Other great '71s: Dec 4 and 6 are enormous statements of where they were at, Nov 14 and Aug 23 for wild power, the Port Chester immortal Feb 20th, and anything from April, when they brought it out. I love the '74 Rat epicism, but '71 has a newness and purity that hits me hard.

One long strange ride that gets there right on time. Compare December 1 and 4 with December 10 and this magnificent beast and you come up with a good picture of just how expansive TOO could be. The earlier ones have the cowboy songs deep inside them, which gdtrfb EraE picks up on, with an almost-MAMU reprise that would certainly have left some confused Heads asking 'didn't they already play this?' (The November TOOs also dig out the cowboy roots pretty consistently.) but the 10th and 14th are a bit more about the hardcore deep psychonaut exploration. Makes me think that with Pigpen back and Keith up to speed it was time to just push on the gas and gooooooooooooooooo.

Beautiful harpsichord sound from whatever Keith was playing, gives this a fantastic, other-worldly sound. Dick's Picks 10 version.
