COMMENTS  Total time  [1:12:35 +]  Obviously the 1st set list is incomplete;
probably Cryptical Envelopment > drums > preceded The Other One but possibly
something else.  Likely more tunes are missing before that, too -- if the
tape catalogued under SET 1 represents the second side of a cassette master,
then there's 45 minutes missing previous to where the tape cuts in.
According to the review of the show by Richard Saltus in the Arizona Daily
Star for 4/12/69, they also performed versions of Morning Dew and Sittin On
Top Of The World.  Presumably these tunes belong before That's It.

There is a Main Ten jam in Dark Star, starting at 9:53 and running till
11:05, a total of 1:12; this is the first known occurence of this kernel and
prototype of Playin In The Band.  There is a cut in St. Stephen at 3:26;
probably a couple minutes are lost here.  

There is also a cut in The Eleven at 3:54, with a passage of jamming of
uncertain length lost (perhaps as little as 20 seconds but also possibly as
long as several minutes).  The Eleven analyzes   St. Stephen > 1st vocals
1:05 > transition jam 1:21 > Eleven jam 1:#40 > Eleven vocals 0:40 > Eleven
jam 1:04  > transition 0:06  > Lovelight.
