Ed Perlstein recollection (Facebook, 7/11/2012): "Dead at Midnight - Fillmore East - July 11, 1970. According to my notes (my memory sucks), the show started at 12:20 AM and ended at 5:30 AM. I remember walking out of the Fillmore East to the rising sun."
Shows started at midnight, and by some accounts ran until dawn.
Please see LIA's 1970 Show List for an explanation of these setlists. We only have a piecemeal audience tape record, and even that suffers badly from mislabels.
deadsources: July 9-12, 1970: Fillmore East, contains a review from Tom Zito but it's hard to tell which night(s) its from.
