Michigan State

The Grateful Dead’s concert at Michigan State University's Jenison Field House (now the Breslin Center) on March 13, 1971, stands out as a defining moment in their early 1970s tour. The intimate setting of the Field House amplified the energy, with a classic setlist including fan favorites like "Truckin'," and "Uncle John's Band," alongside lively covers of rock 'n' roll staples like "Johnny B. Goode" and "Good Lovin'." The boys' ability to connect with university students contributed to the spread of Deadhead culture across the Midwest, leaving a significant imprint on the fabric of community in the 70's.
