The Dead and Jerry Garcia Bands selections:
"Black Peter" Dead
All of my friends come to see me last night
I was laying in my bed and dying
Annie Beauneu from Saint Angel
say "the weather down here so fine"
Just then the wind
came squalling through the door
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
lead up to this day
and it's just like
any other day
that's ever been
Sun goin up
and then the
sun it goin down
Shine through my window and
my friends they come around
come around
come around
People may know but
the people don't care
that a man could be
as poor as me...
"Take a look at poor Peter
he's lyin in pain
now let's go run
and see"
Run and see
hey, hey,
run and see
/ Depending upon which "Black Peter" version of improv this could easily kill 10 minutes, though perhaps the studio version would be best in the interest of time so as to listen to two more dying Dead tunes yet to follow going forward
"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" JGB
"He's Gone" (...and no thing is goin' to bring 'em back) Dead '72
/ tellin' Saint Peter: , "Hate to making 'em wait, but I just gotta have another cigarette" (ironically enough ;')
