The Dead never played a Christmas Eve show, and the only Christmas Eve performance I can find is Jerry Garcia, Harvey Mandel & Elvin Bishop at The Matrix, San Francisco, CA, December 24, 1968, and I broadcast it several years ago. So I went out of the official Grateful Dead envelope to find this:

1. The Wind & Rain
2. Slidin’ Delta
3. Louis Collins
4. Diamond Joe ^
5. Hippie From Olema ^
6. Rosalie McFall ^
7. Fair To Even Odds >
8. Friend Of The Devil >
9. Rocky Road Blues

Disc 2 – Set 2:
