It's hard to love the Dead without loving Pigpen. He was all energy, passion, raw talent.
In honor of the band's only ever frontman, here is a list of the Top 10 Pigpen songs.

Instead of just listing them (in no particular order btw) we tried our best to include an iconic performance so you can tune in and celebrate his life through the recordings.

As countless bands cancel summer tours, note that #TheMusicNeverStopped for the #GratefulDead in 1968 during a deadly pandemic that would kill 100,000 Americans. Enjoy this killer show from the iconic Shrine Auditorium. It sounds just like #freedom: /1 gratefuldeadoftheday.com/12-21-1968
According to the CDC “The 1968 pandemic was caused by an influenza A (H3N2) virus. It was first noted in the United States in September 1968” killing “1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the U.S. The H3N2 virus continues to circulate worldwide as a seasonal... virus.” /2
My beloved @deadandcompany has canceled their summer tour, as has @phish and countless other bands. A cascade of jobs and livelihoods have been canceled as well because of these decisions, made, as Bob Weir puts it, “in an abundance of caution.” Don’t blame the bands at all. /3
