Notes
  • The 2010 remaster of Almost Acoustic identifies "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, "Spike Driver Blues", and "I've Been All Around This World" as from 12/3/87, and "Ballad Of Casey Jones" and "Ripple" as from 12/4/87, but we are 99% sure these are reversed.
  • Deadthinking: 12/4/87 JGAB/JGB Wiltern Theatre: Notes that "LeRoy Mack ... was in the Kentucky Colonels in the early 60’s with Garcia’s idols Scotty Stoneman and Clarence White."
