A good example of how the shorter Pigpen tunes can still be really good.

Sphinx Theatre

They didn't play well in Egypt. 1978 sucked. Right.
Black Throated Wind
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

I've always found this to be a very childish song, but yeah - this version is hot.
Rockin' Pneumonia

Strand Lyceum

Love that funky way they fall into the tune.
Jack Straw

Nassau Coliseum

Yes, you have to give a bump up for this, but you can say the same thing about 50 other versions. This doesn't stand so much higher than other versions so that they should be ignored while this just keeps climbing higher and higher.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

I was one of a rare few to hear the four song soundcheck. It being Vegas, I went all in, telling my friends without a shadow of doubt, the band was going to open with Jack Straw.
