Tom Constanten glows on this album.

Pigpen on organ here, mind.

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

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.

And we bid you goodnight

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

Fantastic group playing.






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

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.
