Notes

comment on deadlists entry for this show "Somebody adds soaring harmony vocals to Last Lonely Eagle. The Race Is On, Seasons, Mama Tried and Sawmill feature vocals by "special guest star Bobby Ace, formerly of Bobby Ace And The Cards Off The Bottom."

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
