Notes
  • Recollection of Cold Rain & Snow, and encore song of AWBYGN courtesy of Robert Gunning. Robert attended this show in the front row and described some banter at the beginning of the show: While the Dead was tuning up, a deejay from KRLA (I think) came out for a forced hip intro. He said, "The last time the Dead played here was at a benefit for Timothy Leary and no one got very high". Someone from the band murmured and the deejay added, "except the Dead". After "Lovelight" they came out and tuned up for an encore, but, after several minutes, decided just to sing "We Bid You Goodnight" and left. Phil Lesh came back onstage a few minutes later to retrieve his leather jacket.
  • Tape has reportedly circulated for years mislabeled as 3/8/70.
  • One attendee also recalls a Casey Jones and Truckin. CJ is very plausible, but Truckin did not enter the repertoire until a few months later.
