A jazz session which did not include the Dead, that was also part of the benefit took place at the Village Gate. Please use this updated entry: Band Grateful Dead Venue Daytop Village Location Staten Island, NY Date 6/17/68 - Monday Comments Afternoon concert to benefit Daytop Village, a drug rehab center. The festival tool place over several days and was held at two locations (the grounds of the center at 450 Dayview Avenue, Staten Island, NY. as well as the Village Gate in Manhattan). An ad in an underground newspaper listed the Dead playing on Sunday the 16th, but an article in the New York Times (June 16, 1968, pg. 58, "4-DAY MUSIC FETE AIDS EX-ADDICTS") says they were playing Monday the 17th. The festival on the 17th had a Latin session (Lebron Brothers, Ray Barretto, and Johnny Pachero) followed by a rock session (Grateful Dead, Kenny Rankin, Jeremy Satyra, Mother and the All Night Newsboys, and The Children of God). Both the Latin and rock sessions were at Daytop on Staten Island. Part of the festival on the 17th included an evening jazz session at the Village Gate in Manhattan, which the Dead did not perform at.
