Festival Express-The Movie and a Pigpen question....

Definitely an aquired taste, I think, becuase there is just so much to take in. It takes a little practice to hear it all becuase it's so much different than most other music. It's beautiful noise.
Pigpen was before my time. When I listen to old music I can hear that it's different, but he doesn't have the same impact on me as other members (like the Godshaux's, when they were members the sound was completely different). I always liked Brent and the sound changed again completely when he died. But to me, the Dead was always about Jerry's guitar and Hunter's lyrics, not tie dyes and drugs.
