Notes
  • There is no known tape of this show. The AUD tape fragment with this date is actually from 6/24/70.
  • The setlists we have for this night are partial, pieced together from reviews of the show, transcribed here August 17, 1970: Fillmore West.
  • 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.
  • JGMF: GD: August 17, 1970, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA
