- Show details originally courtesy of Mailing List member Mick (Mick's mailing list message, November 2009): "Following on from the Jan 1970 playlist I posted last week (see 10 January 1970), I have 5 more from 1968-69 shows (see also 24 November 1968, 22 December 1968, 02 February 1969, 01 November 1969), all from the Psych Fanzine 117." However, there are some disagreements with the PasB, particularly at the start of the listing, which has been moved to the talk page. The PasB is much more likely to be correct, as Mick's tracklisting features two artists with two records each, highly unusual for the time.
- The Nice's session includes three cover versions; Leonard Bernstein's "America" from West Side Story, Frank Zappa's "Theme From Lumpy Gravy" and their version of a track from the Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds LP, "Aries, The Fire Fighter".
