Why is Black Peter special to me.... Listening to BP from Europe (I think) last night I commented to a friend how this is probably the best blues song ever... This song has a way of putting all that life and death is into its proper perspective. I had spent a couple /few years listening to BP multiple times a day because the lyrics and bluesey groove was my life... "all my friends came to see me last night, I was layin in my bed and dying" 48 staples closing me up and coming back to life while a priest is giving me last rights and the friends that came to see me. "Just want to have a little peace to die and a friend or 2 at hand" my mantra for two to three years of nothing but the horror of what I had become... Wanting to die but " one more day I find myself alive tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground" This was a comforting thought... See here how everything lead up to this day and it's just like any other day that's ever been. The pain of knowing the life your living will be the life you die from and having no hope it could ever be different... The people may know but the people don't care that a man can be as poor as me. Take a look at poor Peter he's lying in pain... poor in spirit and extreme physical pain but the physical was minor in comparison to the spiritual pain. Black Peter brings me back to a life I was dying by and forward to the grateful life I live today... See here how everything lead up to this day and it's just like any other day that's ever been... 😀❤️😀

How fun is that Mission in the Rain? Did it trip anyone up into thinking elective? Only other time played by GD was 6/18/76. Right? DB50 owners? .....Bueller? Bueller?

See the internet was wrong. Had I been at home with my DB it would have been a different story! Ask a good reference, or a professional or a forum board for information.

Actually, the GD played "Mission" a total of 5 times, all in June of 1976. 6/4 in Portland, 6/10 & 6/12 in Boston, 6/18 in Passaic, and 6/29 in Chicago.

Ain't nothin quite like '76,,love how you get some solid JGB in the mix energetically and song-wise

Underrated year. Gets overlooked because of 77. I love 76. The whole band was very tight. MVP goes to Jeff from what my ears heard. Mission, Franklins, Dancin were all played as good as I ever heard them. Cassidy was cut short. I do like how it jammed out in later years.

It can even be that old phone you retired and does not have a sim card...just uses the wifi. I've done it a few times thru Mixlr for John K shows using an old Iphone 4, an external battery (because the original is worn out) and a small external microphone that actually sounds good. Peace and Love, Doc
