Notes
  • Drexel University Homecoming, replacing Eric Burdon and the Animals.
  • No tape, setlist derives from a mix of the Deadbase entry for this show and review article in Philadelphia Daily News from 1970-10-29. Deadbase reviewer, Zea Sonnabend specifically states no Dark Star, but newspaper review contradicts. Order uncertain.
  • deadessays: Deadbase Corrections
  • deadsources: October 16, 1970: Irvine Auditorium, Philadelphia PA — Dennis Wilen (Philadelphia Daily News, 29 October 1970) )
  • lostlivedead: The Grateful Dead, The Electric Factory and The Spectrum, 1968-77 (Philadelphia Story)
  • October 1970 "Tour" consisted of the band spending Fri, Sat, Sun playing East and Midwest venues, with at least Garcia gigging back in SF during the week. NRPS joined starting on 10/23.
