Pig was alive when I heard them live first, 11/11/71, but he was not in attendance. If you listen to the show Weir mentions that he is fine and back home getting better.
I enjoyed Pig's sections, preferred the Hammond to the the small combo, and dug his greasy harp tone.
Often wondered how he would have fit in had he lived and if a solo recording would have surfaced.
Possibly a session for a proposed Pigpen solo album. Pigpen & Weir sing I’m A Loving Man; John Tenney, fiddle; Dennis Parker, bass; Scott Morris, drums; Garcia, pedal steel.

The Princeton "Lovelight" on 4-17-71 is considered a classic version by many.
Definitely a staple of my early tape collection.

I seem to recall Phil saying in an interview that if you wanted to hear Pig at his best 4/17/71 Dillon Gym in Princeton is a good choice.
