[1] According to Owsley Stanley Foundation, this could be the jam out of St. Stephen: "Starting in the middle of the jam, in a bridge of sorts, it sounds nothing like "St. Stephen," but it ends very much like jams from "St. Stephen" into "The Eleven" that soon evolved in the coming months."
[2] Final known performance
[3] According to Owsley Stanley Foundation, it includes a "First There is a Mountain" theme

Notes
  • Setlist could also be for the 1968-06-08 Carousel Ballroom event. Setlist is provided by Owsley Stanley Foundation, and comes from newly-discovered Bear mystery reels Owsley Stanley Foundation and more here.
  • There is some confusion as to wether these shows took place 5/31 - 6/2, or 5/30 - 6/1. The poster has date misprints, see discussion here, and 6/1 was a Saturday not a Sunday. We are going with 5/31 - 6/2, Fri, Sat, Sunday at this point.
