One of Pigpen's last fronts. Bill K. Phil Lesh. and Keith Godchaux were taking the back sound in a different direction. Bob and Jerry followed.

If I had to choose, I think this is the Live Dead at their best. Lots of energy, not musically perfect, but Bill K was spot on, Lesh. and Godchaux were brilliant in the background sound, leaving Bob and Jerry to take the audience on an audio-sonic journey.
Pigpen was awesome on the cuts he played, But it seemed to be a moment of transition for the Band. IMHO
