The Grateful Dead was first started in the Bay Area in 1965, and the band quickly became intertwined in the counterculture movement happening in San Francisco. Signs of The Grateful Dead’s legacy are sprinkled throughout SF, including a classic Victorian home on Ashbury Street in Haight-Ashbury that once housed the famous band starting in 1966.
“Golden Gate Park and the Grateful Dead share a rich, intertwined history that helped shape a cultural era,” said San Francisco Recreation and Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg. “Celebrating their 60th anniversary with a Dead & Company performance in the very place where the Summer of Love took root is a powerful tribute to their legacy. These concerts not only honor their cultural impact but also shine a light on the park’s surrounding neighborhood—its restaurants, local businesses, and vibrant community.”
The band’s lead guitarist, Jerry Garcia, passed away in 1995, and San Francisco has since honored the musician with “Jerry Day” every summer. Years later, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, John Mayer, and Bobby Weir founded Dead & Company.
