Notes
  • Songs in Set 2 without Garcia present listed in gray.
  • As per Nick: Set 3 is just Save My Life and the Blues Instrumental. At the end, Graham introduces "Rich, Les Dudek, Floyd, and Jaimoe." I don't know who Rich or Floyd are (I am sure Rich is not Richard Dickey Betts), but the instrumentation is two guitars, bass, drums, and then a piano joins during the Blues Instrumental (Chuck Leavell I assume). Garcia is definitely not playing on these two songs. At the end, Graham announces a couple is getting married onstage and that the Allmans are coming back to close out the show (Set 4)
  • lostlivedead: December 31, 1973, Cow Palace, Daly City, CA: Allman Brothers Band with Jerry Garcia, Boz Scaggs and Bill Kreutzmann (FM VII)
  • In the 10/19/73 KG column, they say, looking ahead, "An [sic] great New Year's Eve Show Bill Graham has planned with the Greatful [sic] Dead and the AlIman Brothers. More on that later." So it seems like it was planned as a joint show, at least early on.
  • Tom Donahue interviewed Garcia on air between sets.
