Wow I knew I loved the Dead for their energy but did they play Palo Alto and New York City on the same day. Something is wrong with the date for this show or the next my guess is the next one becuase all the others after this are in New York, please verify the dates for June 1, shows....
On my way to work, one beautiful June day, on the subway underneath the East River,I was reading my paper, which said:
The psychedelic San Francisco band, The Grateful Dead would be playing a free show at the Tompkins Square Park band shell.
Well, the next thing I remember was walking down St. Mark's Place toward the park, behind a bunch of weird guys, lots of real long hair, one wearing an Uncle Sam hat, you guessed it, yup, turned out to be them. That's the first time we met, hopefully not the last.
They've been good to me ever since.
Still out there, following those guys....

This was the very first time I ever saw the GD. I was 14 years young. I had been walking around the West Village with my Mom. She enjoyed walking around the area and looking at the Painters and the Poets out on the side walks.
