Notes
  • This is an incomplete set. Most likely three sets were performed
  • The existing recording is Eric Thompson's reel copy. There are cuts between almost each tune, so it's impossible to verify if this is from one set, or a mixed set.
  • Eric Thompson left the band shortly after this date. He travelled across country and met David Grisman in NYC. They played together in the New York Ramblers and won the championship cup at the Union Grove Fiddlers Convention. Robert Hunter stopped playing live bluegrass with Garcia shortly after these dates. He went to Los Angeles in late February to begin taking classes in Scientology.
    • Historical
  • The Whisky a Go Go opened in West Hollywood, CA. This club would go on to be a launching pad for such acts as The Doors and Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention.
  • Louie Louie' by The Kingsmen was the No. 1 song on the U.S. Cash Box music chart. For a while, the record was banned by a handful of U.S. radio stations because of its indecipherable lyrics, which were rumored to contain some naughty words . Even the F.B.I. investigated the song, but finally concluded that they could find nothing wrong.
