Notes
  • The musicians listed are not verified for this date. The list is derived from the only known recordings and official Grateful Dead release from 1999. Membership was fluid, and sometimes included Eric Thompson among others. Some listed here may not have been present on these dates, but the instrumentation gives a complete picture of the mayhem that was on stage.

  • Sandy Rothman was not part of this group. He spent the summer playing with Bill Monroe.
  • These dates were the grand re-opening of the Tangent after some renovations. Ken Carter was the headline act.
