Black Peter

Allan Kirby Field House

Why isn't this here? Cippolina chips in to make this a unique, and fully voiced Peter.

Insanely huge Jed. This is where this show really starts to take off

MONSTER two-keyboard version, with Bob just nailing it to the wall emotionally.

My first trip to The Station. The massive post-song jam had me mesmerized.

Cumberland Blues

Tivolis Koncertsal

FOUR votes? C'mon people... this one's a smoker!
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Aw jeez...what can I add? This is the one you've been looking for, no doubt. If you ever wondered what it would sound like if Jerry was in a metal band, and they played U.S. Blues, here you go. You gotta see the video, though. STARTLING to see Jerry move like that on stage. I love it. Not the tightest, but ol' Jer clearly had ALL of his mixes dialed that night. Just exactly perfect.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 14, 1971
Davis Gym, Bucknell University

This one is a SMOKER. I think this is close to the prototype version of China>Rider in it's peak period. They got jammier later on, but they were never this punchy again. Sounds great on 30DoD from 2012...
He's Gone
Feb. 26, 1981
Uptown Theater

An amazing jam emerges out of this one...almost 10 minutes worth of unique goodness!
