Pigpen (King Of THe West Coast Blues) VOL 3

This is the final collection , and the most "jammy" one.

Ronald C. "Pigpen" McKernan (September 8, 1945 – March 8, 1973)

Jerry came up with the name Pigpen for him, because he was always leaving empty beer cans and whiskey bottles all over the place

Garcia once gave a description in an interview, of Pig Pen which fits very well, "Pig Pen is just a victim of the blues." When a body's got the blues, they take their toll, but sometimes they do it in strange ways.

The last time he played with the band was at the Hollywood Bowl on June 17, 1972.

Comments:

* Baby Please Don't Go
Played once by Garcia and Saunders in 1972, with Roger Troy on vocals. Thanks to Matt Schofield for the lyrics.
Also recorded in a slightly different version by Pigpen for an unreleased solo album.
A bootleg with these sessions are called "Bring me my shotgun"

** Listed by deadbase as "Alligator" But the "Gypsy woman" lyrics is used,so i call it "Caution" the final name for this song.
