Notes
  • Setlist comes from uncirculated tape. List may be incomplete before "I Still Miss Someone," and is definitely so after "All I Ever Wanted".
  • First established public use of the band name "New Riders of the Purple Sage". Thanks to Corry Arnold for scanning the Ralph Gleason "On the Town" columns, the "Ad Libs" listings typically found at the foot of them, and other listings during this period. This was microfilm -> digital scanner - not the worst combination, not the best.
