PSLs: Deep Purple/Grateful Dead - oooof!

[LMG]

Tom Constanten glows on this album.

Pigpen on organ here, mind.

[Spock!]

Death Don’t Have No Mercy

Indeed it doesn't.

Not a tune the Dead took with them down the years

40 performances.

Circa 1969, then retired until 1989-90 for a few returns

[Santa C]

A tremendous track though

Pity, but they found plenty of other gems.

I'm most familiar with the Rev Gary Davis version on Harlem Street Singer.

[Santa C]

And we bid you goodnight

And We Bid You Goodnight, far too short. Love the version by Blue Murder, and indeed by Joseph Spencer.

[Spock!]

Fantastic group playing.






To Reap, Phil, Jerry, Pigpen and other absent friends.

[LMG]

And we bid you goodnight

Indeed.

Another fabulous listen.

Requiem for a fallen comrade.

Rest easy, Phil.

To absent friends. Reap. All the departed Dead family, notably Phil, Jerry, Pigpen, Robert who made this recording so special.
