Teddy - I found there was a UPI wire story that appeared in many newspapers about this one.
I have a suggested updated entry. What do you think? Band Grateful Dead Venue Tompkins Square Park Location New York, NY Date 6/1/67 - Thursday posters tickets, passes & laminates Comments A UPI wire story appeared in many newspapers which said "The explosion burst on Tompkins Square Thursday afternoon when a rock 'n' roll band, "The Grateful Dead" from San Francisco, with amplifiers turned up to infinity took over the bandshell and loosed a blast that could be heard blocks away. Oldsters sunning themselves in the normally quiet park looked stunned." Mike Bobrik, an eyewitness, recalls they played: The Golden Road, Dancin' in the Streets, Midnight Hour, BIODTL, Schoolgirl, Cold Rain and Snow, Morning Dew, and Viola Lee Blues.
