    Notes
  • Garcia does not appear on songs listed in gray text. Bobby, Keith and Donna appear on songs throughout both of the NRPS sets, though not all participation is shown. nrpsmusic.com has the entire setlist as well.
  • lostlivedead: "March 18, 1973 Felt Forum, New York, NY: New Riders Of The Purple Sage & Special Friends" "Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Donna Godchaux helped out on vocals on different songs, Jerry Garcia played electric guitar and banjo on a few numbers, Bob Weir sang a couple, and Keith Godchaux played grand piano for much of the show. The most memorable part of the performance, however, was when Garcia, Weir and Godchaux joined the New Riders and began the second set with a trio of gospel numbers: "Cold Jordan", "I Hear A Voice Calling" and "Swing Low". Garcia played banjo and Weir played acoustic guitar". "Besides the mini-acoustic set, Garcia played banjo on "Henry" as well as electric guitar on "Glendale Train," obviously just having the kind of fun he couldn't have if the marquee had said 'tonight: NRPS with Jerry Garcia'"
