Notes

The band refers to "Maiden's Prayer" as "Virgin's Lament", and this is how it has long been identified in the Garciaverse. NB the Falanga tape with this date is actually 6/13/74. Though there has been venue confusion, Elwood 1974 confirms this was the Share. Further confusion results from numerous listings billing JGMS at Keystone this night. But the Elwood expost obviously takes care of it. The Chron's June 12 listings are shown twice, because one shows Jerry with Merl at Keystone [incorrect] and the other shows GASB at the Share [correct].
