The article suggests the concert series started in 1967; however, it appears to have begun in 1966 [1]. Either way, there is no indication in Section 2.1 that a full schedule of performances was presented even in 1967 under the sponsorship of Rheingold. So far, I have been unable to find any authoritative schedule for either year, though I have found at least one reference to Leonard Cohen performing during in 1967 [2], though no date is provided for his performance. I remember attending a number of performances in the summer of 1967, and because I worked in lower Manhattan I was charged with rushing up to the Wollman Rink to save places on line for my friends, who worked in the outer boroughs. [I am less sure about 1966, since I may have been away from NYC that summer.] I will continue to look for authoritative schedules for 1966 and 1967, but anyone with relevant information should post it here, or add it to the main article.

Is Article is Categorized Too Narrowly as "Jazz"?[edit]
Although the Schaefer Music Festival series included many well-known jazz performers, it also featured equally performers from a variety of other genres. Indeed, the image of the poster from the festival in the article lists under genre: "Rock, folk, blues rock, folk rock, jazz rock, Latin rock, reggae." Though I'm not sure under what other categories this festival should be categorized from a purely administrative perspective, "jazz" would certainly seem too narrow.
