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showed things this way as a workaround to an old technical limit (max three sets per "show"), which has since been superseded.
