Classic pigpen

Played a week before the 8/6/71 version, but super hot also. Both versions are a part of Road Trips Vol1-3.

Not sure why the next night gets all the love, this one's great, too!

Starts off with Pigpen improving lyrics then Bobby and Jerry battle off each other beautifully. Give it a listen!!

When I'm a little hard to handle I load this up and pull the trigger. I'm surprised no one submitted this one yet.

Possibly the best out of this Fillmore East run..listen to the boys explode during the jam, an 8/6/71 contender

The Bear's Choice version.

Oh Yeah!!

Pigpen's voice is deep, SC-soaked and clear. The jam is ballsy and pushing out against the seams.

Another great version from August.

Certainly not number one, but worthy to be listed.

Last one with Pig: A blasting sexy swagger with slow rising force like the Palladium one up top here. Listen past the tape problems and slow start.

Bobby Weir on de Funky Riddim Guitar - stellar!
