SET3 ENCORE COMMENTS The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper of Friday October 18, 1968 pg 50: "...at the Greek Theater (U. C. Berkeley) Sunday afternoon: Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Mad River, Stonehenge, Linn County". A previous announcement for this concert also mentioned Santana, but perhaps they dropped out of the lineup. The opening acts are not mentioned in DeadBase XI. Schoolgirl and Dark Star both fade in at beginning with only the first few seconds lost. After Schoolgirl there is some complaining about long computer hassles at the airport and how glad they are to finally be in Fresno - or are they in Turlock? After "one man gathers what another man spills" in Saint Stephen, just silence for a few seconds. The Eleven timing includes the William Tell verse. They are sliding into the Feedback for about 40 seconds before the transition in the timings. Tape flip at about 1:27 in Feedback. The bands stops but the PA hums so much they say "Its playin' by itself. We'll leave you with the PA - you don't need us anymore." An announcer then says "far out, far out, the Grateful Dead." RECORDING 64 SB CONTRIBUTORS David Sorochty <scarletfire at erols.com>, Gordon Sharpless <gorshar at loxinfo.co.th>, DeadBase XI, Brian Pollard <pollard at iname.com>
