Notes
  • The venue has historically been rendered with two Rs, but this spelling is correct.
  • The canonical structure of the "An Evening With The Grateful Dead" shows in this period was acoustic Dead, New Riders, electric Dead. On Twitter, attendee Bob Simmons recalls that this one ran NRPS-AGD-EGD, which is also how we think 5/1/70 unfolded.
