    Notes
  • Deadlists: comment on 5/2/70 entry "David Nelson plays acoustic guitar on Cumberland Blues while Jerry switches to electric. Nelson plays mandolin on Cold Jordan and Marmaduke adds bass harmony vocals." NB no early/late shows. For years Deadlists showed things this way as a workaround to an old technical limit (max three sets per "show"), which has since been superseded.
  • Hooterollin: Week of May 2, 1970 SUNY Binghamton, Binghamton, NY (The Whole Story)
  • Kazart: Dead Stage Banter Part 1
  • Lostlivedead: The Grateful Dead in Upstate and Central New York 1969-79 ('Til Your Night Job Pays)
  • Review: Wolinsky 1970, via deadsources: May 2, 1970: Harpur College, Binghamton NY
  • Most of these shows were billed as "An Evening With The Grateful Dead". The standard architecture was Acoustic GD, then New Riders, then Electric GD (sometimes two sets). For more, see JGMF, An Evening With the Gratetul Dead
