Saw them 1st time Panther Hall in Ft Worth,Tx like 1967 & IMHO the Pigpen era with the raw energy was the best times & best sound. Dead Forever-Forever Dead!!
I was reading a post in a Beatles forum about Psychedelia and the fact that the Beatles musically were about a year behind what was happening in San Fran which I totally agree with. What was amazing , there were pages of posts about bands like The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane etc being the premiere psych bands out of America and I was amazed no one even gave a thought to the band that really started it all.

Yeah, way too bad Pigpen had to punch out so early. His voice is such a blues/country classic. This is the first video I've seen of Pigpen in action.

@wolfkarel Look at pictures from 66=67. People (that didn't know him of course) thought he was girl.

Jerry aside, i'd have to say that Pigpen is without a doubt my favourite member of the dead, guy could really sing and play the harp!!!
