Notes
  • Setlist comes from deadessays based on attendee reports summarized here, but Deadbase lists an alternative.
  • Some three dozen bands were scheduled for this three-day event. It wasn't possible to determine which played on the 26th. Since the Dead played all afternoon, probably not that many.
