GET IT WHILE YOU CAN, GET IT WHILE IT'S FREE, GET IT NOW OR YOU'LL BE SORRY... FIVE (5) PIGPEN SONGS = FIVE (5) STARS * * * * * This show is so good it makes you wish you were in prison on August 4, 1971 just so you could've been there. 1971 is My Favorite Year for the GRATEFUL DEAD. Phil's bass is FAT-N-FUNKY. I love Phil's sound in 1971. Garcia's sound in 1971 was also amazing. When Phil strummed them bass chords, he would raise dust clouds on Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.

great stuff, you can hear pig in the back ground at the end sequence "you gotta drive it" very cool, a one of a kinder, Im not sain that this is the best version of the song, but i'd say it is unique in attitude. it' similar to the 1970's not fade away's where you can here him adding vocals, say from the fillmore east in september.
- ★★★★★ · Great show - iffy reviews ............ · Tidewater four ten O nine · 2008
Err, would have made a great Road Trips .... Yikes, some of it already is .... the whole show would have been even better. As for some of the reviews:- "Regarding the high harmonies, I'm pretty sure thats Donna on the first few tunes at times, and other times during Bobby Mcgee thats Jerry. Donna was brought in because the boys couldn't sing the high parts over and over without hurting their chords. She and Keith were with the band in the last of Pigs days.
