Notes
  • Several sources from 7/11 are often mislabeled as 7/12 and vice versa. This may have stemmed from the fact that the shows after midnight. Based on eye witness accounts we know that Pigpen didn’t sing at all on the last night of the 4-night run (he developed laryngitis).
  • JGMF: A Pigless Monster at the Fillmore East: July 12, 1970
  • As per deadlists entry for this show "David Nelson plays mandolin on Rosa Lee McFall, A Voice From On High, Cold Jordan and Swing Low Sweet Chariot. Marmaduke contributes bass vocals to the gospel tunes."
  • 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.
