"Stella Blue” was first performed on June 17, 1972, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. That show was also Pigpen’s final show with the band. They played it five shows in a row, and in the fifth show, it moved into a second set position, where it mostly remained thereafter. Its final performance was on July 6, 1995, at Riverport Amphitheatre, in Maryland Heights, Missouri. They played it in concert 328 times."

'Bear’s Choice,' the Grateful Dead’s first archival album, was produced as a tribute to Pigpen by their original soundman and benefactor, Owsley Stanley, aka Bear. It features live recordings from three years prior at the Fillmore East in NYC, capturing the band at an essential moment of their history as they transitioned into becoming Americana pioneers while retaining their psychedelic roots.

Last time at The RIC, Dead and Breakfast dropped into a fiery version of “Hard to Handle” and the room absolutely lit up. Originally written and recorded by the great Otis Redding in 1968, the song became one of the signature showcase tunes for Ron “Pigpen” McKernan during the early years of the Grateful Dead.
