It has now been determined that it was Gary Larkey (of Sanpaku) who played flute at this show, not Charles Lloyd. See external links for more information.

8/21/69 is the actual date for this show. There was confusion because the poster says 8/20, but it was cancelled due to rain and moved to 8/21.
