I haven't read all of the posts on this, but thought that it might be good to add (if someone has not already done so) that the Allman Brothers opened for the Dead at these shows. Don't know how important this is, but about half a year ago tapes of the ABB shows were "released" from someone's collection. What may be of interest is that there is just one ABB performance from the nights. So, I'm guessing that if the Dead performed both an early and late show... This would have meant that they did an early show, then the ABB did their opening performance, then the Dead did their late show? Or the Dead did an early show, then Allman Brothers, then Dead late show? This seems unlikely. Ray (concerning memory of shows, for some 20 years I had confused which of the two spring 1971 Allman Brothers shows had been the last one that I saw with Duane performing...)

The only attendee who sez otherwise is Owsley. I trust the evidence over Owsley's memory. YMMV Marc
