Notes
- All circulating sources are incomplete and order is uncertain (the placement of Miracle > Bertha at the end of the second set)
- In Steve Parish's book Home Before Daylight he talks about this show as the one where Jerry ate four valiums before the show. His performance definitely deteriorates during the set. Stagger Lee through Bertha is pretty bad. Also discussed on the Big Steve Hour, February 5, 2020, around 8:39 for a few minutes.
