On May 1 and 2, 1971, the Mayday Tribe staged a rock concert in D.C.’s West Potomac Park, to get people charged up for the mass civil disobedience in the streets of Washington on Monday, the third of May. This stage pass was contributed by music journalist Richard Harrington.
Among the musical artists who played during this all-day, all-night concert were the Beach Boys (who opened the show), Linda Ronstadt, Jonathan Edwards, Elephant’s Memory, Charles Mingus, NRBQ, Phil Ochs, Mother Earth, Mitch Ryder and Claude Jones.
