Forum MVP John A Posted January 25, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian NJ Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I tear up every time I hear that line. For that matter I tear up just thinking of this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted January 29, 2017 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 In that case, Bran, you have failed the challenge. Which is a good thing. This is one where it's best to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted January 29, 2017 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Was there one in the 3 night Oakland Coliseum run? Didn't make it out for those, but I did make it for the New Years shows. Last New Years in Kaiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. B 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
