Black-Throated Wind

Black-Throated Wind

"Black-Throated Wind" is the second track off of Bob Weir's solo debut "Ace". The song was written by Weir and lyricist John Perry Barlow about the experiences Barlow had on a road trip from New York to San Francisco in 1971. Barlow has said that the experience was "right out of "Easy Rider","Fact|date=November 2007 in that he was accosted by locals in the American South for having long hair.

The song was performed by the Grateful Dead very often in 1972, such as in the filmed "Sunshine Daydream" concert in Oregon, but was soon dropped from the setlist after 1974, and then played occasionally after 1990. A very interesting live rendition from that time is featured on the live compilation "".
