I really like the Grateful Dead's s/t, I don't see what the big fuss is about?

Have you guys eever heard of the Acid Mothers Temple?

I do as well. I love their version of Sitting on Top of the World, The Golden Road (to Unlimited Devotion) is kickas[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE], and the full version of Viola Lee Blues can't be beat.

No, but they certainly sound interesting.

Pigpen never really had much of a stage presence, I do not see why you guys are saying he did.

Unless standing around (He even rarely sat down to play keyboard) and occasionally singing while having that odd original look that he had is "stage presence".

I still haven't heard their s/t, but I have it on vinyl as room decoration

...and Pigpen played harmonica

I just might have to do a thread on them.

[QUOTE=ATM]Have you guys eever heard of the Acid Mothers Temple?[/QUOTE]Yes, a very cool psychedelic band from Japan.

Do you have any of their albums? I only have half of [I]Electric Heavyland[/I] and I enjoy the half that I have I just can't find anyone that has any of their material. :-/

jpj- Sure.

Slug- Nuh uh, what is it?

Truth. From what I heard, Pigpen really got the crowd into the live shows.

np- John Lennon- Oh My Love

Well, I've never seen any videos, and I'm not aware of any videos of the Dead from when he was alive. So I'm just going off everything I read in Searching for the Sound, and Phil certainly makes him out to be quite the showman.

I've got a bootleg of a show they did, I can upload it if anybody wants it.

Phil Lesh even says how in the early days Pig was their frontman and their shows usually included a rant by him that usually got the crowd going.

I've seen clips from the 60's and such (I hear one was from Ken Kesey's movie, I'm not sure though) and Pigpen seemed to be like a John Popper, but possibly a little less into the song.

The Grateful Dead as a whole never really gave you much during a show other than music, which was obviously satisfing to many.

You could listen to his and Jerry's rants on Mother Mcree's Uptown Jug Champs; I wouldn't say they were worthy of getting them labeled as great showman, while not mentioning their music ability.

I have a 33 min version of "Turn On Your Lovelight" that the Grateful Dead did with the Allmans in 1970 and you should hear the rant Pig goes on.

I love how every time he talks about him singing he always remarks on the sleaziness of his vocals :lol:

BTW The Nashville Sessions are up in Alt Indie - One page back

And Rock Scully says otherwise, though early on he certainly was looked at as the frontman. You want me to admitt you're right? It's opinion.

Pretty good album, I got it on used about half a year ago. The collaborations with John Bell and Taj Mahal are the best.
