THE JAM ARCHIVE / HISTORICAL FIELD GUIDE
Go back. Explore two remarkable stretches of live-music history: the original Allman Brothers' climb toward At Fillmore East , and the Grateful Dead's May 1977 run. Each date is tied to an original show source. Where we don't know a setlist or recording, we say so.
CHAPTER 01 · 1969–1971
Before the peach. The Allmans' early stages, festival sets, multiple Fillmore East performances, and the remarkable final Duane Allman recording. Dates, setlist details and tape provenance must be checked independently—not collapsed into one legendary night.
CHAPTER 02 · MAY 1977
After Cornell. New Haven, Boston, Ithaca, Buffalo, St. Paul and Chicago. See what surrounded Cornell 5/8/77, then distinguish the tapes fans circulated from the later official box set.
This is a deliberately small source-linked selection, not the complete touring history or tape census. Early-show times and some recording dates are contested. A show listing is not evidence that a recording exists. External media belongs to its respective custodian.
