Notes
  • Setlist may be incomplete. 2nd electric set may have followed.
  • Previously a fragment of this show has circulated mislabeled as St. Louis 5/19/70.
  • Uncle John's Band (30 Days of Dead 2012), Candyman (2014) and I Know You Rider (2018) shared on 30 Days of Dead.
  • Cumberland Blues, The Race Is On, Wake Up Little Susie, and New Speedway Boogie shared on The Tapers Section on the week of 2008-04-28.
  • JGMF: An Evening With the Gratetul Dead. This show was not heavily attended, but from all known credible first hand accounts, the format of this show was different from the other "An Evening With The Grateful Dead" shows. The format for this show appears to be NRPS > Acoustic Dead > Electric Dead. There's some debate about whether or not this is the format, and if so, why it differs from the other AEWGD shows.
