Grateful Dead Gaelic Park

Venue

Gaelic Park
Gaelic Park was purchased in 1926 by the Gaelic Athletic Association of Greater New York. It has been given a few different names over time including Innisfail Park, but since the 1950s it has gone by its current name, Gaelic Park, a reflection of the park’s Irish flavor. It was taken over by Manhattan College in 1991, and now currently goes under the official name of The Gaelic Park Sports Center.

LONG Strange trip

Drove from Philly to NY with 5Towns native John Naitove-pro photographer. He got 4-5 rolls of great shots from in front of the stage--Rain and lightning punctuations. I was using my twin lens and kept havng to wipe the screen to see what I was shooting--a portrait-quality of Jerry changing strings got me a sit down with him at State Theater Columbus the next Haloween. Dont remember the music as much as the images that night--we went on to see a night of Dionne at Newport...

Gaelic Park August 1971
