Notes
  • As per LIA October 1966: Crawdaddy Review (comment) The "Grateful-Airplane" Midnight Hour mentioned here was first written about by Ralph Gleason in the SF Chronicle, 7/20/66, in an article on the Fillmore Auditorium called "An Old Joint That's Really Jumpin'." He describes the Saturday 7/16/66 show: "The Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead loaded the [Fillmore] to capacity... The jammed house listened to a half-hour-long rendition of Wilson Pickett's Midnight Hour performed by the mass band and sung by Marty Balin (from the Airplane), Pigpen (from the Dead), Joan Baez and Mimi Farina. It was quite a night.""
