Notes
- deadessays: May 9, 1970: Harrington Auditorium, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
- Songs listed in the acoustic set and the feedback closer come from attendee recollections presented by LIA
- The circulating tape is a misdate of the 5/3/70 acoustic set, but a low quality partial tape is now available.
- deadsources has a posting of an unfavorable review by Tech News. On that page there is a gem of a comment by LIA summarizing what we know, then in reply an anonymous poster provides a detailed partial setlist but with no explanation of source. The setlist for the electric portion is derived from that comment.
- deadessays: Deadbase Corrections
- Billed as "An Evening With The Grateful Dead". The standard architecture was Acoustic GD, then New Riders, then Electric GD. For more, see JGMF, An Evening With the Gratetul Dead
- expost: Harry Jackson hung out and rapped with the whole band and scene May 15 and May 16. "On Tour with the Dead," Zygote III, July 22, 1970, pp. 41-44. Full-text via deadources, JGMF Reading Notes.
