Pigpen was the part time front-man for the Dead in those days. Another Soul in Communion in the Rock n Roll Pantheon. Pig was cool.

@TheShampow44 Pigpen was the Dead at that time. Their live music when Pigpen was in his prime was the best years of the Dead. Just my opinion though. He has such a raw sounding passionate voice.

@TheShampow44 Pigpen was keyboardist (& harmonica) from 1965-1972. In 72 his health was failing him and Tom Constanten helped out on keys until Keith came in, in 1974. Pig was the man and lead vocalist most of those years.

@gratefulvideo TC joined the band in late '68 and left the band in early 1970 - Kieth Godchaux joined the band in late August/early Sept. 1971when Pigpen started getting sick - Pig returned later that year of '71 and was with the band through Europe '72 - His last show was June 17,1972 at the Hollywood Bowl; he did not sing.
Ronald C. "Pigpen" McKernan passed from this world March 8,1973
Pigpen is now and will forever be one of THE GRATEFUL DEAD
