* Deadbase lists Lovelight as ending the second set. However,
http://www.deadlists.com does not show Good Morning Little Schoolgirl,
Doin’ That Rag or Lovelight as circulating (they are now :-)).
To me, the announcer’s comments before lovelight sound like
pre-second set introductions, rather than “bring ’em back”
pre-encore talk. Regardless, Lovelight started the second disk
on the copy I received and I’ve chosen to preserve this placement.

Extraction and shortening by Seth Kaplan

** NOTE **
Some files were not cut on sector boundries… they were fixed using
shntool and a new md5 checksum file was made. The sector boundries
were the only reason the files are now named as “fixed.” (12/14/00)

From Deadlists:
Pigpen plays harp on Dupree’s. The Avalon Ballroom insisted that bands,
including the Dead, play short sets of an hour or less.
This may well be the complete first set.

Notes:
-The length of all these sets supports the short set restriction by the Avalon.
-Lovelight fades in.
