Grateful Dead - It's A Man's World 6/7/70

Live at Fillmore West on 6/7/70

Never knew the boys played this tune. Tight!! Wish they had played it more, seems like they played it a dozen times in 1970 and that was it.

[@RegisWilkins]

Pigpen nailed it, and had that R&B and Blues vibe.

My first introduction to the grateful dead was in 1974. Pigpen had only been buried a year. I was 10 years old. By 1980 I realized the impact he had and ever since I have been his most fierce advocate whenever anybody asks me about the grateful dead. My admiration for pigpen resonates eternally. He is the most gentle badass that ever lived

[@davecorcoran9188]

The Dead without Pigpen is almost as crazy as thinking of the Dead without Jerry. I miss you both so much brothers

[@tham5102]

Has to be part of the reasons why so many loved Ron. He has to be close to the top of his game on this one.

[@lizziesangi1602]

This is pretty cool, no doubt excellent. I NEVER thought they did this. Can't put anything past this guy.

[@RegisWilkins]

Damn. I just missed Pigpen, went to my First Dead Show in Fall of 1973. He had charisma and chops! At the show, not a word. Strange.

[@JonasBowen]

Pigpen is my american idol.

It takes balls to cover this song --- and Pigpen pulls it off :)

[@lizziesangi1602]

No doubts about Pig..Garcias' guitar has everything to do with backing up Pig & vice versa. They had conversations with each other, playing off one another. During that era you never knew The Dead, if you never heard 15 min jams b'twn Pigs' drums and Garcias' guitar. An influential and intricate part of the bands' mystique.

[@ChoctawNawtic4]

Hell yeah dude. Never the same w/o Pig. He n Jer def had a very real and "mystical" connection there...which left with Pig. RIP

[@79rapture]

pigpen wasn't a drummer he played the keys and the harp. he's a fantastic harp player as well his solos on smokestack lightning and i'm a king bee are amazing!

[@mountainsagestudios6407]
