Notes
  • The power was shut off during this show.
  • Music from this date circulates on tapes which are mislabeled as 4/24/70.
  • deadessays: Cut Us Off Again!
  • archive thread: Guide To The Feelin' Groovy Jam
  • deadsources: April 25, 1970: Denver — Mike DeLong (Colorado Springs Sun, April 30 1970) mentions the Good Lovin' we list here.
  • Jim Pagliasotti (1970) sort of reviewed the weekend for the Denver Post. He attended Friday and said it was good, heard Satuday was low energy. He noted only 4,500 attended the weekend and that the promoters lost money.
