    Notes
  • Setlist incomplete. The AUD tape with this date is actually from 6/24/70. The new Deadbase comments on 8/18/70 actually refer to 8/17 (per Deadessays blog).
  • There is a picture with this date showing Bob Weir with his acoustic and Nelson playing mandolin, so presumably Nelson guested with the acoustic GD on this night. We imagine that "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" might have been one of the tunes on which Nelson played.
