The Black Peter Challenge

The challenge is this:

 

Get yourself in a nice and relaxed mood.  Turn out the lights and turn up the dial.  Cue up the 12/28/86 Black Peter.  The cassette board is very nice.  Put yourself in the mindset of the moment - this is the first time Jerry has played Black Peter since his diabetic coma, where not only his musical career but his life was in real jeopardy.  When you get to the line, "one more day, I find myself alive" say you didn't at least well up a bit, if not overtly shed a tear.  It's intense stuff.  Even on the board, which has no audience blended in, the crowd reaction is palpable.

Isn't 12/17 the first Black Peter post coma?

Dr,

Thanks for keeping me in check! 

I listened to 12/17 today and while Jerry hits  the "one more day alive" he drops the previous verse completely.  For the purpose of The Challenge, let's stay with 12/28. More intimate too, the Kaiser v. the Coliseum.
