Song Of The Day – “The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion) by Grateful Dead
One of the many joys of listening to the “Complete Europe ’72” box set by Grateful Dead has been the many versions of this Pigpen tune. Pig is at his soulful best on this tune…and for a guy who was ailing and on his last tour with the band, his performances of this song and the many others are nothing short of top notch. Why this Ron McKernan classic never made it to a proper Grateful Dead album is way beyond me…
