This week’s edition of the Grateful Dead’s recurring YouTube series All The Years Live features a moving take on the Garcia/Hunter gem “Black Peter.” Recorded during the group’s July 8, 1990 concert at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA, this version contains an emotional vocal delivery from Garcia along with a powerful instrumental coda that would ultimately dissolve into “Throwing Stones.”
After making its concert debut in 1969, “Black Peter” was recorded the following year on Workingman’s Dead and remained a concert regular through 1995 with over 340 live performances.
