Notes
  • Some believe NRPS played, but we are dubious.
  • There is no tape of this show. The songs listed here come from the Chinook review. It is very likely this show had the electric/acoustic/electric format.
  • deadsources: April 24, 1970: Mammoth Gardens, Denver CO
  • review: Milt T. 1970;
  • Jim Pagliasotti (1970) sort of reviewed the weekend for the Denver Post. He attended Friday and said it was good, heard Satuday was low energy. He noted only 4,500 attended the weekend and that the promoters lost money.

    • Historical
  • Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane is invited to a tea party at the White House by Tricia Nixon, daughter of U.S. President Richard Nixon. Slick arrives at the party with Abbie Hoffman, who is on trial for conspiring to riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The pair planned to spike Nixon's tea cup with a heavy dose of LSD. Slick is recognized (although Hoffman is not) and told to leave because she is on the FBI list.
