On this date 38 years ago, May 6, 1970, it was a national day of protest at colleges across the country, including the M.I.T. campus. Students were protesting the escalation of the Vietnam War and the U.S. invasion of Cambodia, and especially, the tragic killing of four anti-war protesters by U.S. National Guard troops just two days earlier, May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio.

The Grateful Dead were scheduled to play a paid concert in M.I.T.'s Dupont Gym the following night. However, they were already in the area the day before, and they set up outdoors on M.I.T.'s Kresge Plaza in front of the Stratton Student Center to play a free afternoon concert for the crowd at the anti-war protest rally.

This M.I.T. campus radio station, then known as WTBS (now WMBR), was patched into the soundboard and recorded a mono reel tape of the concert which has been in the station library archives since then.

In 2000, I lent the tape to David Gans, producer and host of the official nationally syndicated Grateful Dead Hour, who digitally remastered it and featured it on his program that summer. For the 38th anniversary of the concert today, I played three tracks from the remastered version.

09. Grateful Dead - China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider
10. Grateful Dead - Morning Dew
11. Grateful Dead - St. Stephen/Not Fade Away
