i think it was pigpen that really got me into the dead to begin with just loved his way..he was the soul element that they could never recapture..thanks for the reminder..

[myjohncasey]

Excellent sound quality, Pig's delivery and harp are bodacious to say the least!

[TheDeadhead76]

PIGPIN!!!

[Mtdeadhead312]

pigpen was really good... i wish he could've stuck around awhile longer...THe grateful dead were good but not the same (obviously) after his death..

[dannyhood66]

I did not realize the dead stayed in their roots 67 68 period..I don't know of the deads many styles? That lead guitar sure sounds good though. Im looking for that glossy blue lookin video with pig pen ,68 era i think?

[chasefukuoka61]

@dannyhood66 - Jerry was playing a Gibson Les Paul guitar back then, beautiful sound...

[doubletopsecret1]

So was this right around the time that Mickey joined?

[chasefukuoka61]

@doubletopsecret1 - Hi. I think Mickey had been with the band for about 5 months by that time.

Ya just can't say anything bad about Pigpen. He falls in the category of "Only the Good die young." I am totally impressed with his harp playing. I also hear Jerry playing The Other One riffs on this tune. Thank you for posting this.

@facebookcnp52 - you're welcome and i agree..!

What baffles me is how much Thunderbird and Southern Comfort can one drink to die of cirrhosis at 27? I can't believe he just drank himself to death at that age. He MUST have had a predisposition to liver problems.

@bbender1975 It ain't easy to wear out your body that quick, but it's not near as unusual as you might think.

[Thoughtank22]

@bbender1975 You;d be amazed. It almost got me at 32, about five years post his age then. Look at his girlfriend, Janis Joplin...

Alcohol is a bitch, and it will get you, and stars alike.

[CattailsandRoses]

@bbender1975 Wikipedia states that he had congenital biliary cirrhosis, so you are right.
