Notes

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Paul Liberatore posted a promo article about Country Joe's imminent retirement in the Mercury News, though it's fair to point out that in fact, the show I attended represented an encore visit to the Sweetwater, hinting that the possibility stays open for more shows in the future.
