WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

More PigPen

Posted 11 months ago

Europe '72 is an album that showcases the quality of performance the Grateful Dead offered their fans when performing live in their heyday. Though the album has often been criticised because of the audio work done to the tracks used prior to its release, the singing was never the draw to see a live Dead show; the instrumental genius of Garcia is undeniable. An exception to the arguably poor overall singing chops of the Dead was the howling blues vocals of PigPen. Pigpen was near death as the Dead toured Europe in '72; this rendition of It Hurts Me Too is beautiful in both its grit and honesty of expression...

    i don't usually like the Dead, but i loved them when Pig Pen was still alive.  he added so much soul and blues and harmonica.  it just wasn't the same after he was gone...
