Grateful Dead
I attended one of the August 19-21,1968 shows and Albert Collins did not play. It's A Beautiful Day played those shows. It was my first Dead concert, I was 16, and it totally blew me away.
I'll give credit to the post below...but I noticed the wrong title for the second song in the second set (should be "Rain", cover of the Beatles song). My source is that I was there and remember singing "Rain...I don't mind!" as well as being soaked all day in the lot. Thanks for your efforts to consolidate all of this info. - Dan

The title to the second song of the second set is "Rain'. The song was put out as the b side for the single Paper back writer. "The rain song" on the other hand was a led zeppelin song, for those who would like to hear the orig.
Thanks Sean
I see that Mr. Pid previously located this for Greyfold. Sorry for the duplicate post.
Greyfold couldn't find her show from the Fall of 1984 because the Brendan Byrne Arena keeps changing its name. It's listed on the website as Meadowlands Arena (which is probably a good way to identify it, given the name changes). There were 2 shows in the fall of 1984, October 17 and October 18.
The Clark University show currently listed:
http://www.dead.net/show/april-20-1969
was the Dead's second appearance at Clark University's Atwood Hall. There is documentary evidence for this in the soundboard recording, during the pre-set tuning, when someone (Phil?) announces "The last time we were here it was a total disaster."
He is referring to their previous visit, probably on January 7, 1968, that was cut short by a couple of power failures. I've detailed this visit in a post on archive.org where the recording is now available:

However, in case this disappears, I've included an excerpt (below)
There was an earlier Dead show at Clark, the prior academic year, which is missing from the database.
I was a Freshman in the fall of '67. The Dead made their first appearance at Atwood Hall in late '67 or early '68. They performed a lot of material from Anthem although it had not been released yet. I was sitting near the center aisle when all of I sudden, maybe 40 minutes into the set, Paul MacGalliard goes running down the aisle towards the stage. That's funny, I thought. I wasn't used to seeing Paul, a man of significant size, move so fast. I was working with the theater group, learning stage lighting, and Paul, who was a year or two ahead of me, tolerated me and taught me the ropes. Suddenly I realized that all of the little red lights on the guitar amps had gone out. The Dead had blown out the power, but I was so entranced, I didn't even notice. The stage lights were still on, they were on a different circuit. The band members all picked up percussion instruments and just kept playing. (Maybe this was not the first time this had happened). They kept jamming until Paul threw the breakers and the power came back.
The Dead played a while longer until the circuits heated up and they blew the power again. It was no use, they excused themselves, and promised to come back, which they did in April of 1969. We had new power lines in Atwood, installed especially for them.
