Notes
  • We know a New Riders set happened on this night. That would seem to make it more likely that similar sets happened on the 17th and 19th, and that these shows were trying out the "An Evening With The Grateful Dead" concept on home turf.
  • ad: Good Times v3 n16 (April 17, 1970), p. 14, billing Billed as "Riders of the Purple Sage avec Jerry Garcia, joined by Mickey Hart and the Heartbeats alias Bob Ace and his Cards From the Bottom of the Deck".
  • lostlivedead: April 17-19, 1970, Family Dog On The Great Highway: New Riders Of The Purple Sage/Charlie Musselwhite/Mickey Hart And The Heartbeats with Bobby Ace And The Cards Off The Bottom Of The Deck (Lost And Found Dead). Corry hypothesizes that Torbert arrived with these shows.
