The
availability of the shows is "un-official." The Dead's set is available in
mostly SBD. The Allman Brothers set is (as far as I know) in limited
circulation and only in audience recording. The Band's set is available as
an official release.

The Grateful Dead did NOT play at Concert 10 aka
the Mt. Pocono Festival that took place on July 8-9, 1972. Here is a list of
the bands that did play:
- THREE DOG NIGHT
- EMERSON LAKE & PALMER
- ROD STEWART & THE FACES
- MOTHER NIGHT
- CACTUS
- EDGAR WINTER GROUP
- J. GEILS BAND
- HUMBLE PIE
- CLAIRE HAMIL
- GROUNDHOGS
- RAMATAM
- ANGUS & THE BULLS
This concert drew approximately 200,00 people and
the line-up was similar to the Mar Y Sol Festival that took place in April. It
was another attempt to recreate the Woodstock spirit that was fading fast.
However, the crowd was well behaved and the music went on through the
night. There were no great shakes, however, and this festival faded away
into near-oblivion.
The Grateful Dead did appear a year later (with
the Allman Brothers Band and The Band) at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix
Raceway on July 27-28 for a show that drew more than 600,000 people. This was
the biggest rock festival of all time, and in my opinion greater than
Woodstock. The Dead played amazing sets each night, and is readily available
on CD or tape.
