Notes
  • As per deadlists entry for this show "Jorma Kaukonen plays throughout SET 2. The Instrumental following All Over Now is his. Jack Casady joins on bass starting with the Jam into Darling Corey. It's Marmaduke on vocals in Darling Corey."
  • Some good color comes from this comment by LIA which includes attendee comments seemingly sourced from archive.org. One reviewer says, "I was at the Airplane show, same night... The band said the city wouldn't let the band jam w/ Dead there, so anyone who could, should beeline it over to U of R for a 'jam'. We did."
