Notes
- Placeholder date for all of the Festival Express train tunes Garcia is known to have played. Infer nothing from the order in which these appear. Extra special thanks to LIA for helping us compile all of this. We still need to populate the musicians. Bachman said he "played his fingers raw with Jerry Garcia, Leslie West and Delaney Bramlett (Michael Bennett, "Bad Memories are Behind Randy Bachman," Evening Times-Globe (Saint John, NB), April 5, 1972, p. 13)
- LIA's The Festival Express Guide provides a detailed account this tour, and more general news coverage of the tour June/July 1970: The Festival Express and June/July 1970: Festival Express in the news.
