The March 25 show (a semi-private party booked by the Hell's Angels and billed as "Jerry Garcia & Friends") featured Bo Diddley as a guest, whose performance, backed by the Grateful Dead, is included in Disc One.

After setting the scene and explaining, among other things, that "the Dead apparently like to play to exhaustion", the author writes that "The Saturday night concert was a benefit for the Hell's Angels, some of whose members had been arrested on charges requiring high bail."
