Notes
  • "Grace came out at the start of the second set. The Dead played a short, blues jam to which she added impromptu lyrics - she appeared to be totally ripped. At the end of the tune, she staggered around the stage, rearranging everyone's mic stands until Bill Graham led her off. She reappeared briefly before Truckin and Graham again got her off to the side of the stage where she and he could be seen dancin to Truckin."
  • Review by John Wasserman, from the "On the Town" column, San Francisco Chronicle, 11 October 1972 via deadsources
  • Wasserman gives a very positive review, breaking out the big words to describe PITB. Four hour extravaganza, he only saw first half, things far from normal. Raised $10k for roadies to buy a house. "Into the hall, full but not jammed, where Graham associate Jerry Pompili smiled and cooed 'Don't drink anything that you haven't opened yourself.'"
