    Notes
  • Allman Brothers acted as musical hosts for this "All Star Jam". It occurred after the ABB set and on their gear. We list all the ABB band members, but it is possible some yielded their seats to guests during this segment.
  • A very drunk Rick Danko sings "A Change Is Gonna Come" and "Raining In My Heart" with no Garcia participation.
  • The guest musicians on this one are very squishy big thanks to Jesse Jarnow for giving this set a very close listen.
  • 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.
