[DEEPMOODYPURPLEBLUES]

Thanks for sharing this. I lost my copy of this DVD in the divorce......hahaha!!. I love the scenes with Jerry and a VERY young Bobby, with Janis and an incredibly ,tripping balls Ricky Danko from the Band........lmfao Priceless and such an amazingly wonderful moment in time. "NO more Cane!" LOL

[samharriman]

wicked Dead cuts thanks!!!

"No copyright infringement intended". What rubbish. It's like parking in a no parking zone and leaving hazard warning lights on.

[muddack]

it looks like it was filmed by the same folks that made the Woodstock film.??

[fit2btiedyed]

Really Awesome, Love The Pig!!!

[MickeyYahoo]

A rare Bobbie Weir lead 3:20- 350

[XtehfuckX]

@MickeyYahoo I used to think that too but I think it's actually Phil Lesh's bass

[defilcj]

Thanks uploader, what a gem. Even though the GD had many great years after his passing, Pigpen added a whole other dimension when he was in the band. His keyboard contributions were easily replaced but he was such an authentically good blues and R&B singer. What shame. His penchant for cheap sweet wine was the worst possible thing for his condition. RIP Pig.

[Eltamir]

Only Tom Constanten is still alive. He was with them for a year and a 1/2.

[kocean1]

What a great Jerry solo on this tune-make me smile Jerry !

[grannygear]

Pigpen was my favorite before Jerry or Bobby.

All the Grateful Dead's keyboard players died, did they not? Dangerous job!

[Yumgui]

@grannygear,

Their best guitar player died too :/

Life is dangerous all over ... but can't just quit !

So might as well enjoy ;P

[jaikwillis]

@grannygear not all of the keyboardists died, Tom Constanten is alive and well and i just saw him a month or so ago playing with some friends o mine.

[villiparis]

Pigpen looks like he's at deaths door, he looks compleatly different from the fat hippy he was in 60's

[fubsie2]

@villiparis Did he lose all that weight from his illness?

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

@fubsie2 more than likely 

[versatom70]

Who knows where the Dead would have gone if Pigpen would have stayed alive.

[kc12112]

I think that 'there's a whole lot of women on the streets in red today ' is in reference to women wearing red clothing. wow man farout

[GSRJosh33]

@kc12112 I think its a reference to the whore of babylon being draped in red.

[andy23822]

Pig was one of the few "blues souls" that spiral around our material world for a few year's and bless us with his (chi )

[DamonBoykiw]

i think that the river keep a talkin is a reference to the river in Herman Hesse's Siddhartha

[im4out]

magic....... 

[crusher153]

real music

[maggie695]

I was there. Am pretty sure than I'm one of the girls dancing! :)

[phattskis]

@maggie695 I love that you know you were there but can't remember if you are actually one of the girls dancing. I understand that statement and that makes me know you were one of the girls. I feel it. :) Dance on sister!

[mushroomagical]

@maggie695 That's awesome! Wow...you got to experience a great piece of history!!!

[magprob]

Can you imagine Pig Pen and Janis getting it on man!? I bet they was screamin and shit was breaking and dope was smoking and tequila bottles was flyin! Holy shit man!

[hicks727]

@magprob I think that is why pig drank himself to death.He was a blues man.....right..The dead were going places he could not hang . He hated drugs but loved the drink.

[peterpterodactyl]

"I'll live five years if I take my time..." evidently he did not take his time. In fewer than three years form this recording, Ron stepped on a rainbow.

[peterpterodactyl]

Happy Birthday, Ron

[g5uk]
