Notes
  • Around And Around is in the wrong place on circulating Dead tapes. The setlist here is the correct order that the songs were played. The full encore (Set 3) isn't represented on circulating copies of the Dead's show, but is only available with an audience tape of the Band's show
  • deadessays: Deadbase Corrections
  • Liberatore reports that reportedly GD received a flat fee of $117,500. Pretty credible, since he is sitting in GD offices and talking with the whole band. Confirmed by impresario Jim Koplik, plus an extra $25k since there were so many people.
