Notes
  • Hard to say if there were two shows. Poster is ambiguous, says 3 PM one side and 9 PM on the other side. Preview listing by Houston says "Re-tribalization will be the keyword Sunday afternoon from 3 to 9 when the Grateful Dead rock group moves into the Eagles Auditorium".
  • preview: Bob Houston, "The Dead and the Indians," Seattle Post-Intelligencer, November 15, 1968, Area 206 section, p. 2: benefit for a Native American colony living at Frank's Landing on the banks of the Nisqually River, seeking to secure the fishing rights members say they hold under the Medicine Creek Treaty of 1854.
