The first time I saw the Dead (Jan. 2, 1970), I was 10 feet in front of Pigpen (fifth row at the Fillmore East). He was the coolest dude I have ever seen. All goodness, all soul, all the time. He was the heart of the band then, and we all miss him even now. Can you imagine the arc this band would have had if he and Jerry were still alive and well? Ooo-ee!

Team Pigpen here -> before I knew much about the band I only had that 2nd Dick's Pick and a few studios, could never figure out the vocals on some of those really good tracks you know, like Easy Wind, Operator, etc it all makes sense now

Never was Dead fab, BUT, I accidentally ran across this version. Blues have always been my favorite and this is the best version I've head of this song and it definitely ranks #1 on my list along with Clapton's version. I can't play one without playing the other. Keep making us cry. Long live the blues.

Whiskers B 100% disagree. They already have their balls to the wall psychedelic stuff, and their cowboy Bobby songs. They already had 2 drummers and a piano player and Jerry and hunter were coming up with new songs all when pig was still in the band. And when pig was in they still had their good ole classic blues. Pig was a incredible harp player and reminded the dead and their fans where their roots were. The band wasn’t the same without him.
