Notes
  • This has historically been listed as two sets, with only three songs in set II. But logic and the available evidence (of the dog that didn't bark variety, i.e., no set break announcement) suggest that it was more likely to have been a single set. Thanks to David Minches for thinking this through with us.
  • mention: Foghorn, October 18, 1974, p. 10: "KUSF will present Jerry Garcia and Merle [sic] Saunders in a Halloween Dance Concert", noting it is a benefit for the station (also noted at top of the handbill). Images of the pages from the Foghorn available here and here
