Really appreciate seeing footage of Pig when he was healthy.

[@FishingwithWPBCharlie]

This band never fails to amaze me how much incredible stuff they managed to get on tape…. And we get to relive every Magic moment. 🥳😵‍💫🥳😅

[@Joker6052-v7k]

Man those were the days

[@gclark12412]

I'm fairly certain this is from the April 71 Fillmore shows.

[@pembrokejones3969]

Yes 4-29-71 😊

[@cokesquirrel]

No man just can't be 77 Cause pigpen is still alive here

[@matthewmaguire3554]

THE REAL SHIT...Tell all the clean so they can get dirty and grow in the big muddy.🤠

[@bobgregory3572]

The early yrs of the Dead were long jams loved tripping

[@juansurfcity1605]

Ahhhhh, memeories... sure does bring a smile to my face.... as Pig says, "GO ON NOW!!!!"

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Thank you! Still my favorite version of “Hard to Handle.” I remember it from Dead Ahead. ✌️

[@Flyeaglesfly-y3p]

Check out 8/16/71..... My other favorite 😊

[@brandonlara5375]

Absolutely incredible. Salute to a great mash up of interpretation for a song that never gets old. Man, Pig could really draw on that old blues/soul vibe and inspire the boys to just go off. No matter how many times I listen to this version I always find something else to love about it. Sad to say but there aren't any bands around these days that could do it as good as the Dead. Happy to say I have the memories to always fall back on. I know I sound like an old fart when I try to explain how special they were but these recordings just prove that they could create magic.

[@johnmaddas6475]

This footage is mesmerizing.The editing is superb,and of course the Audio Mix is out of this world! Much love and respect to ALL involved.

[@bobw857]

Wonderful. Except for ads interrupting. 😡 Best version of HTH IMHO.

[@andrewbowen6875]

Always loved how Two from the vault starts out with Lesh on good morning little school girl

[@BrianTheDeadhead]

Without a doubt, the date of this performance is April 29, 1971 from the Fillmore East NYC

[@lightburst]

how can you say that, when GD101 mickey hart wasn't in the band post feb71

[@BrianTheDeadhead]

​​@@lightburstDo you really want to come at me with a snarky Dead 101 lesson? Lmao! Obviously the video clips are from various places at various times. Only a few very short segments are from the actual performance we hear, all in color...Pigpen tight shots at the mic wearing a Fillmore East v-neck t-shirt and a couple of Jerry in what appears to be a light colored plaid collared shirt, and a couple from behind Jerry, Bobby and Pig silhouetted by the spotlights from stage right. Nowhere does it show Mickey from that performance, nor did I claim he was playing drums on this. Jerry, with several different amounts of facial hair, is seen throughout the video. I know Jerry could create magic, but not so much where he could go from fully bearded, to just chops, and then a VanDyke all in the same night. Various clips, various times. I had a tape of this show in the mid-late 70s, wore the crap out of it and several copies. I'd recognize this version from any 4 second snippit clipped from it and even in my sleep. They released what we hear here on Ladies & Gentlemen, The Grateful Dead. Check that out, and the date I provided in archives and then tell me I need a basic course in Dead 101 ;-) ✌️

[@andrewbowen6875]

The great Pigpen is one of the really sad losses to Alcoholism in Rock n Roll. Hell Jorma K said he was a very accomplished guitar player as well. Can only think of Katie May but he was the lead singer of the Dead and proved irreplaceable

[@bgfb77]

It wasn’t the booze that killed him. The booze certainly didn’t help but he had a genetic condition with his kidney or liver iirc

[@paulzollner1533]

The year really does:t. Listen to the band Better then the rest

[@BrianTheDeadhead]

Fillmore East 4/29/71, without a doubt

[@lightburst]

@@BrianTheDeadhead Hart wasnt in the band then yo

[@BrianTheDeadhead]

@@lightburst The video is a compilation of clips from various places at various times. But the audio is definitely from Fillmore East 4/29/71, and is part of the Ladies & Gentlemen, The Grateful Dead release from that stand at the Fillmore East in NYC in late April 71.

[@alborrelli1604]

Pigpen the original rapper.

[@keithcunningham2254]

I thought it was Chuck Berry. I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back And started walkin toward a coffee-colored Cadillac I was pushin through the crowd tryin' to get to where she's at And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat.

[@lithograph-yx2ds]

Pigpen had talent rappers don’t have talent just sthu

[@TankWilliams__Jr]

@@keithcunningham2254hard to handle is Otis Redding (1968).

PEAK DEAD PEAK JERRY ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@hicks727]

This would be considered a date rape song today

[@BrianTheDeadhead]

Good thing it's not today.

[@MrArchive-v9n]

Care to explain why ? I fail to see any references to him forcing himself on the lady, hes just asking her home to ball, seems like a consensual arrangement to me.
