For this week’s edition of “All The Years Live,” Grateful Dead HQ have shared a July 1990 “Black Peter,” shot live at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Penn.
“Along with ‘High Time,’ ‘Black Peter’ was one of the slower-tempoed, more beautiful songs on 1970’s Workingman’s Dead,” explains GD legacy manager/archivist David Lemieux. “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.”
