Notes
- 2nd Quaker City Rock Festival; Creedence Clearwater Revival was on the bill but cancelled; Al Kooper served as emcee for the event and sat in with local band American Dream, who filled in for Creedence.
- On 12/18/68, Garcia spoke to Michael Wanger and Vance Frost about this kinda of scene: "on this last tour, we did a few of those scenes that are like rock and roll shows. There's like 10 acts on the bill, and you get on stage and do 20 minutes."
