Notes
  • Setlist incomplete and order uncertain. Outside of the tape, setlist pieced together from various news reports linked here.
  • deadessays The Missing Shows of 1971 "It was long claimed that this was the full show and the band left early “to catch a plane,” but this is not true. The Dead played a 2-hour show per a newspaper review, normal for early ’71, although there appears to have been no setbreak."
  • Venue capacity 2,500, but said to have been packed in with 5,000.
  • Review by Harry Duncan, from the Madison Kaleidoscope, 31 March 1971 via deadsources
