Notes
- comment on deadlists entry for this show "The encore [Cold Jordan] is with David Nelson, mandolin, and Marmaduke, bass vocals"
- The canonical structure of the "An Evening With The Grateful Dead" shows in this period was acoustic Dead, New Riders, electric Dead. On Twitter, attendee Bob Simmons recalls that this one ran NRPS-AGD-EGD, which is also how we think 5/1/70 unfolded.
- Mickey drums on the acoustic GD set.

- Casey Jones, China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Mama Tried > High Time shared on The Tapers Section on of 2008-05-12.
