Two live tracks from the same concert in 1966 when the dead were starting out. Great garage psych here!

  • god i always loved cold rain and snow,especialy the early versions! i love how pig pen plays the organ in cold rain in snow,just pure epicness.this reminds me of driving to my grandparents with my dad when i was five, my dad out on a 66 show and we jammed the whole way there

  • @pyrotech8285

    Pig Pen was all they needed as an organist. Too bad they kind of diminished his role in the years to come but his performances on the live shows was always a highlight of their sets.

  • I like Cold rain and Snow because Pig Pen plays what i like to call Whriling Keyboards!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the Dead's First Album!!!!!

  • Me too. It's such a fun listen. My girlfriend loves Good Morning Little Schoolgirl!

  • I'm straight from the hood growin up listening to hip hop n heard this the first time really like it. Garcia!!!!!!

  • It's good to have an open mind and thanks for digging it!

  • Now this is how I remember the tune when I saw them three times one weekend in MI in 1967. Twice at the Grande and down in Ann Arbor free in the park. Phil Lesh absolutley mesmerized me the entire time.

  • i hate it slow. i love these early ones so much.

  • Oh what wonderful memories.

  • Those were the days, when Billy was going by Bill Sommers.

  • The Grateful Dead could have (and maybe should have) stopped after about 1967.They were amazing, up to that time.

  • listen carefully to the bass line...it's a trip

  • Great song, good recording from that period, thanks for posting. Need to bring back some acid tests, everything is too corporate factory ready made. I sure missed those early blues / Pigpen influenced songs.

  • @iunnodiapeys Exactly. They both promised to work harder and do better at the "Performance Review", but it's not clear to me whether the band then said, OK, we'll give you another chance to turn it around, OR if it was more a case of them just turning up to play anyway even though it wasn't clear they were wanted. In the end, though they were accepted back into the band however it happened.

  • THE DAY...longshoremens, filmore and the doghouse...oh pig oh ya got me...
