While none of the original members played sax (at least not well enough to have attempted to do so with the band), there were some less permanent sax players that worked with the Dead both in the studio and on tour, starting with Martin Fierro. He recorded the sax on the album Wake Of The Flood (like in the song Let It Grow), and can be heard in tapes of concerts from most of 1973. http://www.dead.net/features/news/general-news/rest-peace-martin-fierro
