Notes

Some circulating sources have Let Me Sing through Let It Grow to open set 2 (SHNID=17410 and SHNID=4082). All other sources have He's Gone to open set 2 with Let Me sing through Let It Grow later in the set after Row Jimmy. I've listened to all the sources and the least edited ones that appear to be uncut and unaltered between-song segments all have He's Gone to open set 2, so I'm going with that set list order until otherwise proven wrong.
