Another vote for Scarlet->Fire 5/8/77.  From that first bowOOOOOOOOOOM of Phil's
bass, to that beautiful guitar solo in the middle, to the sneaky first notes
of Fire ... grate stuff.

There's also a very fine Morning Dew on a tape I have dated 10/13/68, though I
think the song itself is from 1/14/67 (acc. to Deadbase).

    Is this the one where pig goes into a rap for about 20 minutes,
    and gets the affections of a lady whom he had previously mistaken
    for the Brooklyn Bridge?  Great version of the song!  But isn't it a
    Good Lovin'?

    Yup, I think you caught me.  I've got the Princeton tape too, so maybe
that's where I got confused.  Thanks for setting me straight.  Guess for
penance I'll have to go and listen to the tape now...sniff...  8-)

    ...thanks /

That Princeton tape is mentioned in the book "Playing In The Band" by David
Gans -- a highlight of Pigpen's ability on stage...

The entire Pigpen rap is transcribed there too.  If I had the energy I'd
type it in...

Excerpt from Pigpen's "Good Lovin'" rap.
Princeton, 19 April 1971
Unabashedly copied from David Gans & Peter Simon's "Playing in the Band"

I was goin' down the street one day
Right after me and my old lady got in a fight
I see this dude on the corner
He said, "Say, man, you look like you kinda lonesome
I said, "Yeah, well, me and my old lady
We had kind of a fallin' out, you understand."
He said, "Well, hey, listen-
I just got into bidness."
I said, "You just got into bidness?"
He say, "I'm in commercial merchandise," he says.
I say, "What kind of merchandise you got?"
He say, "Whatchoo want?"
Well, I said, "You got any dope?
Are you in the automobile bidness?
Do you fix refrigerators?
Do you fix windows?
Are you a plumber?"
He said, "No, man.  I got myself a Cadillac."
I said, "Oh, yeah?"
He say, "What seem to be your trouble?"
I said, "Well, you know, me and my old lady,
We just had a little falling out."
He said, "Oh, that's it, huh?"
He say, "Well, listen:
I got about anything you want."
He say, uh,
"How much money you got in yo' pocket?"
And I tell him, "Well, I got about a dollar and a quarter."
He hinda step back a taste and say,
"Dollar and a quarter?
Wait a minute now!
You can't buy much for a dollar and a quarter!"
I said, "I don't want much-
I just want a little bit."
He said, "Well, maybe I can fix you up."
This fella slow down
And a-turn around...
Scratch his head just a little bit
He say,
"I got a i-DEEEEEEEA!!!"
And he said,
"I got the impression that you ain't lookin' for nothin' high class,
Just somethin' to take care of yo' natch'ral needs."
He say, "Look down on the corner.  See that girl?
I said, "What girl?"
He said, "The big one!"
"That a GIRL?  I thought that was the Brooklyn Bridge."
He say, "How much you got?"
I say, "A dollar and a quarter."
"SOLD! The Brooklyn Bridge!"

So I went down and said,
"The man down the street said I can come home witchoo."
She said, "It's all right now, Daddy,
Show me what you can do."
And don't you know, now, people,
She treated me nice and kind.
She made me
She made me think
She sure did treat me fine
For a buck and a quarter
What more do you want?
For a buck and a quarter!
What more do you want?
Things get goin'
They don't be slowin'
Cooked on this side
Say now, Mama, won't you roll on over
Let me jump on your wagon and ride
Let me jump on your wagon and ride, now baby
Let me jump on your wagon and ride
Let me jump on your wagon and ride, now Mama
Jump on your wagon and ride
That's all I need
A little bit of love
A little bit of love in my soul
And a whole other kind of places
And a whole other kind of taste-es
That's all I need
That's all I got to get, now
All right!

[Instrumental]

Cost me a buck and a quarter
For my pony ride
Twenty more dollars
When the doctor was by my side
He's got that needle
Sayin' "Brother, are you in trouble,
Thinkin' that was the way to go."
She may have been fun
But it wasn't no fun later on
No it wasn't
Went around
All over town
Went around
Over town
Wond'rin' what my lady was up to now
Just a-wond-rin' what she's doin'
While I'm on the prowl
Axed my doctor what to do
He said, "Now, son,
I know just exactly what's wrong with you.
You need a little bit of lovin'
Good ol' love
Nothin' on the side
Need a love, a good ol' love
Don't blow your pride."
I want to tell you now
After I was feelin' so bad
And I had all them troubles
I want to tell you jus' about what happened
Yes I do
Yes I do



If anyone's interested, I've got a tape of an old Deadhead hour which has
got this "Good Lovin'" on it.  Takes up most of the second half of the tape.
