Notes
  • Ken Babbs raps at various points during the show. Deal was $2,500 vs. 60% of the gross.
  • ad: Oregon Daily Emerald, May 28, 1969, p. unk
  • lostlivedead: Grateful Dead Pac-10 Home Court Analysis "when the Dead headlined McArthur Court on May 31, 1969, it was one of the biggest rooms that they had headlined up until that time. The show appears to have been scheduled for the track stadium (Hayward Field) and moved indoors, but in any case it was a sign of the Dead's status in Oregon."
