Ok - how about this?    
 
Band Grateful Dead 
Venue Daytop Village
Location Staten Island, NY 
Date 6/16/68 - Sunday
Comments 
Afternoon concert to benefit Daytop Village, a drug rehab center. The Dead's 
appearance was part of a festival which took 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). Ads in an underground 
newspaper as well as the New York Times (June 6, 1968, pg 52) listed  the Dead 
playing on Sunday the 16th.  An article in the New York Times (June 16, 1968, 
pg. 58, "4-DAY MUSIC FETE AIDS EX-ADDICTS") says there would be 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.  Although the article of the 16th says those acts would be 
performing on Monday the 17th, that appears to be an error.  Part of the 
festival did take place on the
 17th; it was an evening jazz session at the Village Gate in Manhattan, which 
the Dead did not perform at.

The Dead's appearance was at Daytop Village, which is at 450 Dayview Ave. on 
Staten Island -  not the Village Gate.  

A jazz session which did not include the Dead, that was also part of the 
benefit took place at the Village Gate.
