Was the plan for him to leave the band after the euro tour? Did he come back to play that final show in the states just so they could play Stella Blue for him? Not everyone sees Stella Blue as being about Pig, but that's what I always thought. After this show which closes the Euro tour, Pigpen came back and played one more show where he didn't sing a single song. After Two Souls they play PITB, and then He's Gone. I could be wrong but don't they play it 2 songs after he sings his last song with the band, Two Souls? And Two Souls is HIS song, not a cover, not a band song, that is HIS. And the song is supposed to be in reference to Mickey's dad being gone. Maybe someone could shed some light, but could this He's Gone be for Pigpen? I know the March '73 version after his death is usually thought to be the dedication to him.
