My father was diagnosed with cancer 14 years ago, and passed away a few months later. When he told me about the diagnosis he said to me, "I'm not Black Peter yet but it's going to be an uphill battle". Love and miss you man. Thank you for passing on your love of the band to me.

My mom passed 7 yrs ago.. My leg still hasn't grown back. Lol.. if u know u know. ...keep your chin up amigo. God is real.. " And a friend or 2 I love at hand...".

It's a golden one, but not like the fiddler on the roof 😢

[@oldblinddog1000]

I lost my father to cancer, too. Been nearly 45 years ago now.

[@oldblinddog1000]

I work as a nurse in long-term and skilled care, and part of my job is helping my residents "transition to the other side." Boy, sure gives this song a whole new meaning for me.

[@chrissnyder5665]

I got this album in about ‘78 or so. This was such a change for the Dead but the music never stopped from before or after!! Love me some Dead!✌🏿✌🏾✌🏽✌🏻🤪

[@marisxv]

Workman's Dead is their masterpiece. Black Peter, I just have to sigh...

Did Robert Hunter ever live there?

When it first came out in 70 it was my favorite stoner album by far.

@@stonejackballer482 Hell yes its great now i was just saying that when it came out i was an 18 yr old stoner and i just loved it im 68 now.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

kinda Bluesy as it goes along, ya!

[@almcclung2783]

I got this album by mistake, was listening to pop music @ age 14. Was gonna send it back, but after a listen, I was hooked. Changed my musical tastes - then in '74 I was able to see the Dead, Earl Scruggs opened for them, really good show. I'm not a Deadhead, but like a lot of their songs and have played covers of a lot of their stuff. Thanks Jerry and company!!! 👍

[@bmet12341]

That makes me feel good I can spread my love of the Grateful Dead to my younger generations out there

A Black kitty wandered into my backyard today.........I heard the kids wondering what to name him! I'll have to break it to them in the morning :) I'll be the one feeding him anyway:)

Absolute masterpiece

[@alt0799]

I'd highly recommend the Dick's Picks Vol 34 performance of this song. There's so much passion put into that Black Peter, its the best!

[@glennmorris1807]

Especially like the first two warner releases- bought the remastered extended version of this today. Saw the Dead in 68 up close playing anthem of the sun live .

[@jerroldkazynski5480]

Alligator!

[@popsurreal4266]

I love this song it’s so depressingly Goode

[@GeologyJournalism]

I'm my way out - multipe organ stuff, but I live in Vermont, where we have death with dignity (Act 39) I get to choose when I get off this rock - You bet damn straight this is being played intersperced with the other Dead tunes I have lined up. I just wish there was a Make A Wish foundation for old deadheads. I managed to hit 249 shows. Just one shy of a meaningless number!

[@allencollins6031]

Fuck it brother. Light one up. Peace 🕊

[@doughyden7988]

For my money, the greatest album of the era.

[@Peterbee282]

Black Peter has lost Lady Vanessa, Black Peter has a heart of gold for her!!!

First comment, I am honored! Black Peter! Always one of my favorites. Certainly poignant during the Covid 19 surge. Loving the remastered "Workingmans Dead" Gratefully Deadicated! Thanks, as always. Sincerely, Kevin Mulcahy.

I now appreciate this tune from WD enough. Happily enough.

[@orangejulius8366]

I always think of this song when I hear of somebody telling all their loved ones that they want to say their final goodbyes...and then they go on living another few years after that.

Gonna be played at my funeral.

[@Desdinova69]

All of my friends come to see me last night I was laying in my bed and dying Annie Beauneu from Saint Angel Say "the weather down here so fine" Just then the wind Came squalling through the door But who can The weather command? Just want to have A little peace to die And a friend or two I love at hand Fever roll up to a hundred and five Roll on up Gonna roll back down One more day I find myself alive Tomorrow Maybe go Beneath the ground See here how everything Lead up to this day And it's just like Any other day That's ever been Sun goin' up And then the Sun it goin' down Shine through my window and My friends they come around Come around Come around The people may know but the People don't care That a man could be As poor as me Take a look at poor Peter He's lying in pain Now let's go run And see Run and see Run and see Run, run, and see Hey, hey, run and see

[@This_is_my_real_name]

What's that word for hearing a song and having your brain misinterpret the lyrics and insert its own words? Decades ago when I first heard this song, that happened with this fragment: *_I was laying in my bed and dying_* *_Annie Beauneu from Saint Angel_* This is how my ear heard it and my brain mangled it: *_I was laying in my bed and dying_* *_Anyone know, from sin, and, gin_* I wonder if I'm the only one to have misheard that? (I wonder if anyone _still_ does so?)

[@looseandjanglingproductions]

@@This_is_my_real_name I always had "anyone know from sin and jail" hahaha. This condition is called "mondegreens".

[@This_is_my_real_name]

@@looseandjanglingproductions -- yeah, that's the word. Didn't want to make it's way to my frontal lobes... I wonder if they ever _sang_ it that way? It's not unknown for bands to sometimes fiddle around with the lyrics on stage.

I had some great times Playing this Song :) QC

Best peak/crescendo of any song Ever. Ever. Period.

[@marcelopenailillo9209]

Que gran canción!!!

[@alansommer]

I never got the title of the album but its great!!

[@loufrank9363]

It has a double meaning to me. On the cover i take it to mean this is the version of the grateful dead for the working man. On the spine it's titled "the workingman's dead". I took this to mean that the working man has died...

[@judypratt2868]

music of the working man, cant read music, but can play. didnt go to music school. was taught by ear. music is how they communicate , how the oral tradition is kept alive .

[@DAVYMAC]

Great point, right on !

[@peterf.229]

poor man’s music , its mostly styled in bluegrass. it was the music the poor played on their one day off . its sort of a theme to all the songs . lol
