    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.

    • Historical
  • The Clash kicked off their first concert of their first American tour at the Berkeley Community Theatre outside San Francisco. Bo Diddley opened the show.
  • Supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini take over the Iranian law enforcement, courts, and government administration.
  • Pluto enters a 20-year period inside the orbit of Neptune for the first time in 230 years.
