Notes

No tape existing, the source circulating with this date is actually 4/3/70 Cincinnati
Setlist incomplete and order uncertain. Linked Harvard Crimson review mentions the Casey Jones opener and UJB closer, rest of the tunes are recalled by Thomas Flannigan, mentioned in Deadbase X. Other sources also list an Other One suite before Cosmic Charlie, but it is not specifically mentioned by any attendee or reviewer. Chimp act confirmed
