This past weekend, the Grateful Dead's surviving members, Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, who formed their own band called Dead & Company in 2015, played a series of three shows at Golden Gate Park to celebrate the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary. Opening acts included Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson and the Trey Anastasio Band.
"My father was everything San Francisco. From the tough street kid in the Excelsior, to the art school student in North Beach, to the freedom-loving Haight Street 'Captain Trips,'" his family wrote on an Instagram post shared on Friday. "He was a lover of tech, science, and progressive ideas. This city was his home."
This upcoming Saturday marks 30 years since Garcia’s passing. He passed away due to a heart attack in a rehabilitation center 20 miles north of San Francisco.
"I never had to worry about money. I never had a job," Garcia said. "People looked after me and I didn't ask them to."
At Golden Gate Park this past weekend, about 60,000 fans attended each of the three Dead & Company shows. Though he passed away three decades ago, Garcia and his legacy will always be a part of San Francisco's story.
