‘Deadhead Disneyland’: SF Celebrates 60 Years of The Grateful Dead’s Music


Listen Later

This weekend, San Francisco is hosting shows and celebrations honoring 60 years of the Grateful Dead’s music. Dead & Company, which performs Grateful Dead covers and includes  former members of the original band, will be headlining three nights in Golden Gate Park.

For some Deadheads, it’s a chance to celebrate the Dead’s music in the city where the band became famous. Others say that the anniversary shows, which cost $635 for a three-day pass, go against everything the Dead stood for.
