comments:
partial setlist compiled from the recollections & reviews of Joseph Way (thanks!). There's nothing certain about Leonard playing "Passing Through" in 1970.

Unique known live performance of "Solidarity Forever" (the song was soundchecked in Birmingham 1979/12/08 but not played during the concert).
