    Notes
  • The band's gear was late to the gig so they had to use the Allman's gear. As you can see from the setlist and other info, the show ended with a big Allmans-Dead blast through some amazing-sounding material. Alas - no tape known to have been made.
  • Review: Miller Francis Jr, The Great Speckled Bird, May 18 1970, p. 7. Text via deadsources. This review was also the basis of the broader event reconstruction at JGMF, Will The Circle Be Unbroken: The Dead and the Allmans, Sunday, May 10, 1970, Atlanta Sports Arena, Atlanta, GA. Francis's bottom line: "Frankly, this was one of the greatest musical/sensual experiences the Atlanta hip community has ever had, rivaled only by another Dead offering in Piedmont Park after last year's Atlanta Pop Festival" [7/7/69].
  • 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
