Notes
  • The circulating tape is a misdate of the 5/3/70 acoustic set.
  • There is no circulating tape of this show. The setlist comes from the 1970 Show List post on deadessays.
  • 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
  • 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
