Notes
  • Based on some research from Jesse Jarnow we think High Country opened this show (as they did at Winterland a couple days earlier).
  • Interestingly Volkmar Rupp has produced a picture (see attached) from an Elvis show on 1972-11-14 showing a marquee behind the King that lists the "Greateful Dead" show on Dec. 2x (cannot make out the last digit in the picture). This indicates that at some point the GD may have been scheduled on a different date, although we have no other evidence to corroborate this, do you?
