Operator

[frankielee]

Anyone know of any shows where there is a performance of Pig Pen doing Operator?

They only played it live 4 times. The first was 8/18/70 at Fillmore West and I believe u can download it from archive.org. 1st set was acoustic and marks the debut of not only Operator, but also of Ripple, Brokedown Palace and Truckin. I've had this on tape for several years. It's a little crunchy but well worth the listen.

Thanks...just found one from Fillmore East 9/18/70...Pretty nice...Curious as to why they did not keep it in the rotation

I seem to remember a shot of pig on acoustic for a tune a two - was this one of them?

Hard to hear on that recording, but I don't hear a third guitar.. and I think he only played on Katie Mae and Hey Jude that I know of, maybe a few others.

But check out that Attics in the second set! Achingly beautiful!!!

Time for CPR - press, press, press, DAMMIT DONT GO ITS NOT TIME!, press, press, --breath--, press, press, sputter, cough, cheers, bask in adoration and turn on the charm for the witnessing females

now that this thread is alive again =P

I think strum meant piano, as opposed to organ. not to project, just my two sense

i love operator, wish it stuck around a little more. maybe revived in a 1980 acoustic set or too. tho i guess its a tricky situation with a song by pig. covers aside, not many came back.
