Notes
  • At the building then known as Fillmore West, but not promoted by Bill Graham and advertised as Carousel Ballroom, so we use that name here. Shades of Joy with Martin Fierro. Sellout, made $7k for the community radio beneficiaries. Great party. Hot Tuna appeared at the last minute. Dead played a 2 1/2 hour set ending at 3:30 am.
  • expost: "Wavy Gravy," Good Times, March 12, 1971, p. 15.
  • Although the poster says 3/3/1970 it is believe that this is a misprint, and the show took place on that date in 1971. See discussions here.
  • Per an attendee, Jerry played the Peanut guitar.
