Notes
  • First free outdoor show. Shutdown by police. Previously thought to be August 5.
  • ref: Yellow Shark comment on August 5, 1966 English Bay Beach Bandstand, Vancouver, BC Grateful Dead (first free concert) "My understanding now is that the bandstand show took place on Wednesday August 3, 1966 - and not on August 5. This is supported by the very good book Jerry Kruz has written on the Afterthought."
