  • Tracklisting below is from Volume 2(ii) of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
  • Grateful Dead followed by solo tracks from Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir.
  • Three "one session wonders" in this show. The Johnstons already had a reputation in the folk field, but progressive rockers Paladin remained obscure, despite recording two LPs for Bronze records. The members all went on to work with other bands but the only one to have previously done Peel sessions was keyboardist Lou Stonebridge, with Glass Menagerie.
  • The Slade session includes covers of songs by Janis Joplin ("Move Over Baby") and the Lovin' Spoonful ("Darlin' Be Home Soon").
