    Notes
  • comment on deadlists entry for this show "The encore [Cold Jordan] is with David Nelson, mandolin, and Marmaduke, bass vocals; it does not appear on the circulating tapes."
  • 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.
  • Setlist information is likely incomplete
  • 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
  • The venue has historically been rendered with two Rs, but this spelling is correct.
    • Torrents for Date
