Just a few weeks after the city was awash with tie dye for the final Dead and Company shows, another happening is bringing fans of the Dead together. This time more local, in McLaren Park, Jerry Garcia’s childhood neighborhood, to celebrate what would have been his 81st birthday. The day started with the city proclaiming, August 4th, 2023, Jerry Day, with Mayor London Breed on hand to present the proclamation herself. Then soon went right into the music with Box Set, Melvin Seals & JGB, and Stu Allen & Mars Hotel.
Comment
Tom Murphy here, one of the organizers for jerry day. Was wondering if it’s possible to use some of your shots for promos, grants, etc.
If so, interested in the first close up of Melvin, close up of Pat Nevins, and Stu Allen with Aligator guitar.
