September 8th would have been his 78th birthday.  He only made it to 27.

Pigpen was not the first troubled soul from which magnificence flowed, and he surely won't be the last. Happy birthday, Virgo brother.

And leave it on!

Empty Pages: 2nd of 2 performances 8/26/71. 1st was the 24th in Chicago.   Garcia's plays some riffs that hint of Death Don't.

8/26 Gaelic Park is the last performance by the core 5.  Next w/Keith w/o Pen 10/19/71.

Empty pages before my eyes
Do not deny or criticize
Empty bedrooms where I've paid my dues
Watching the ceiling instead of you
Can you tell me where you've gone?
Ain't no one around to hear my songs

I've got some songs that I'd like to sing
Always brings down some other thing
Where can I go, my paths are broken?
It seems like your love is just a token
So won't you stay with me?
Oh, stay with me

Up in the morning, out the door
Doing some business that I never know
Come back in the evening with your mouth all forgot
You know I got a mind to put you out

Those links are useless! Sorry brother!

Ok maybe YT works

YT Totally works
