Watch the Grateful Dead Deliver an Exceptional “Black Peter” in Pittsburgh from Summer 1990

The Grateful Dead have continued to gift us footage from the vault with their All the Years Live YouTube series in addition to the weekly Shakedown Stream full shows on Fridays. Yesterday, the Dead plucked a beautiful “Black Peter” from the Dead’s visit to Pittsburgh on 7/8/90.

Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance: “Along with High Time, Black Peter was one of the slower-tempoed, more beautiful songs on 1970’s Workingman’s Dead. When we were looking for a Grateful Dead concert on video with which to launch the View From The Vault series in 2001, our criteria was straightforward and was similar to all of our releases: an overall excellent show, with several exceptional highlights, those ‘anchor moments.’ Amongst the many of the highest highs played in Pittsburgh on 7/8/90, this Black Peter and its outro jam are some of the best.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the great footage!

Listen to Dead and Company Close Out Fall Tour at the Mothership – 11/9/2019 AUD

Dead and Company’s all too short Fall Fun Run came to an end last night at the Hampton Coliseum. Although the band only played six gigs in three cities, they covered a lot of ground.

Their second night at the Mothership took on the same jazzy vibe as the evening before did. The evening was chocked full of Dead classics like the opening “Truckin’,” “He’s Gone,” “Playin’ in the Band,” and “Scar > Fire.”

Bobby and the crew closed out the tour the way it started—with “Ripple.” Thanks Dead & Co for some Fall magic. See you in San Francisco for NYE!

Listen to Warren Haynes’ Magnificent Performance with Asheville Symphony and Friends – 3/17/2019 AUD

Warren Haynes, often referred to as the hardest working man in Rock, put a solo date on the calendar a few months back before heading out on the road with Gov’t Mule. What was special about this date was that it was with the Asheville Symphony and was a career-spanning tribute to all of the bands he played with and music he wrote.

The response to the first Dreams and Songs: A Symphonic Journey was so strong, that Warren Haynes put a second performance on the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium schedule.

The second of the two performances opened with Mule’s recent heartfelt tune, “Dreams and Songs Part 1” that segued into the Allman Brothers Bands’ classic “Dreams.” The rest of the two symphonic sets went much of the same way, weaving the music of Gov’t Mule, Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead and others together.

After the two symphonic sets, Warren jammed with his band sans-symphony for a third little set. Warren’s line-up included John Medeski on keys, Jasmine Mohammad on vocals, Edwin McCain on vocals, Greg Osby on sax, Jeff Sipe on drums and Oteil Burbridge on bass.
