<<Listening to 4/8/71 the other day, I weas struck by the fact that there =
appear to be TWO keyboard players. Although Pig's Hammond is v.low in =
the mix for most of the show, there are certain moments where you can =
definitely hear two instruments,

a) During Truckin' - organ is distant in left channel, with e.piano in =
right; both can be heard about 3:45 into the song...
b) In Playing: Pig is playing percussion (guiro?) alongside Billy, =
whilst there is an electric piano in the right channel
c) The tuning jam before BIODTL - at 6:52-7:00 on Loser you can hear =
both organ & electric piano tuning

To my knowledge, Pig never played electric piano on stage (it sounds =
like a Fender Rhodes or Wurlitzer) and I'm curious as to who the mystery =
player is - Ned Lagin was supposed to be guesting on Boston 11/21/70, =
although the tapes don't apparently bear this out; is this actually =
Lagin's Boston debut appearance??>>

Gans might be able to verify this, but I believe that Ned Lagin played on
many of the Boston Dead dates following 11/21/70 as well, including 4/8/71.
He was a student at MIT at the time.
