I love Pigpen. The man just wanted to play some fuckin blues and that's exactly what he did. He was Real.

couldn't agree more quinn 76. This LLR makes me want to weep glorious tears of cathartic ecstasy. Jerry's pedal steel is just gorgeous. "Did you ever awaken to the sound of streetcats makin' love... And guess from their cries that you were listening to a fight". This is the best LLR i've ever heard. 8 minutes of bliss.

Not usually a fan of this one because of the clunky rock beat Bill employs. but they lean into the pure country shuffle groove on this version. Very nice
