  1. Thanks for posting this archive. (Am I reading the date correctly, that it just went up before I happened to look for it?)
    As a 14-year-old I saw Country Joe & the Fish at the faculty glade, Jefferson Airplane in a "panel discussion" with Ralph J. Gleason where they alternated playing songs and fielding questions (Q. "Do you think the Grateful Dead will ever be commercial?" A. "Yeah, I can just see 10,000 screaming teenyboppers chasing Pigpen down the street."), and the closing Greek concert. Quite an introduction for a kid to get.

  2. There's a picture of Jerry Garcia, presumably attending rather than performing, at Northwestern: https://dc.library.northwestern.edu/items/b8ba3343-6928-4e49-bf11-524b60c06be5
