Edmundson Pavilion

Jerry's voice is crisp, his playing is sharp, and Keith does a great job with atmospheric organ fills

Fillmore East

An extra handful of stank on the end jam puts this well above a "normal" version. Definitely worth checking out

Fillmore East

Not the longest version (due to time restraints), but this one starts like it is shot out of a fucking cannon

Stella Blue
June 17, 1972
Hollywood Bowl

Blown away that after all these years this was the first time i'd heard this. The mere idea of the first Stella being played during the last Pigpen show is dripping with symbolism. The fact that Pig adds a gorgeous organ texture to the song makes this a bonafide treasure. Track this down, spin it, and reminisce in a true transitive moment in the bands illustrious history

Classic Pig on this one and the quick jaunt into ChinaCat is sick
