Pigpen - Solo Acoustic - Family Dog 4/18/70
Katie Mae (Incomplete)
Ain't it Crazy (The Rub) (Fades in)
Roberta
Bring Me My Shotgun
The Mighty Flood
Black Snake
Ron "Pigpen" McKernan
Recorded at the Family Dog concert hall in San Francisco on April 18, 1970
Pig's set is two Lightnin' Hopkins covers, two originals/ad-libs and two John Lee Hooker covers. Given his more limited guitar skills, he stays in the same key and reuses the same couple of riffs for all songs. Setlists for decades included an unidentified "Walk Down the Street". It was later secured that this is Hopkins' Bring Me My Shotgun. But wait. While that song was missed by setlists, note that Pig plays that for a bit, but then he does continue with an original, featuring the "Walk Down the Street" lyrics. He also ad-libs through part of John Lee Hooker's Tupelo Blues (The Flood).

    100%. Not listening and most importantly, hearing this… is to not understand the beginning, the genesis of the Grateful Dead. Pigpen was the Grateful Dead. Don’t you ever forget that! @bryanswagerty

    I didn't know they took the Wall Of Sound to Europe. It must have cost an absolute fortune in shipping costs. I know The Who would ship their own custom sound and lights to America in the 1970's and it almost bankrupted them. Like The Dead, The Who never sold that many albums. But unlike The Dead, after Tommy, The Who didn't tour that much. Where they found the money, who knows.

    I was in Hawaii with family and friends in the middle and late 90s. Heard and loved this song. Must have been new cos no one knew it. Was all on the radio. Was told it was Ernie Cruz junior, when I saw John in the world wide version of The Weight I had to look it up and find the connection. Here it is.

    The song at 14:00... I was just listening to the wake of the flood podcast about the vanport flood in 48. Hunter lived there with his mom after his dad left them. He and a friend had a rowboat they would go adventure in and when the floods came they went out trying to save people and livestock. Row Jimmy anyone? Here comes sunshine... The whole album is about the story. Neat pigpen picked up the story and made a song.

    I took my future wife to her first show/3 day run of shows at the Geek this weekend. 18 years later, I run into my now ex-wife at the Geek for Phil and Phriends. I guess I shouldn't have shown her so much, so fast. The Geek in Bezerkeley will always be a special place for me. Take a big deep breath of that eucalyptus and redwood. Only two venues smell like that, Geek and Frost. My home outdoor venues.
