Dead & Company Concert Golden Gate Park August 1, 2 & 3 Polo Field. This is a free concert? Is camping allowed in the park? Public transportation? (formerly known as the Grateful Dead)

Where can I plug in my phone? Where can we go for lunch? 

Official website: https://www.dead.net/

They estimate that 60,000 people will attend... So I guess that camping in the park will be happening mainly because so many of those people will want to attend all three nights... And we sure as hell don't want to spend money on a motel room... I predict that this event may be much larger than what is predicted... perhaps a half a million people...

I've been to the Polo Field during the Anti-Vietnam war protest march called the Moratorium... 

Huge crowds of people filled that field...

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Monday that he will propose holding three Dead and Company concerts this summer at Golden Gate Park in celebration of the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary.

If approved, the ticketed concerts will take place Aug. 1 through Aug. 3 at the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park.

Expected to draw up to 60,000 attendees each day, Lurie said that the shows will bring a boost to local businesses, restaurants, and hotels. Lurie estimates that the weekend could generate tens of millions of dollars, as the Dead and Company's three-day show in 2023 generated $31 million in local economic activity.

"The weekend will celebrate our city's creative spirit, boost our local economy, and bring generations of fans together," Lurie said. "This is more than just a concert -- it's a San Francisco homecoming."

The Grateful Dead's psychedelic rock sound was deeply rooted to the counterculture scene of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in the 1960s.

The proposal will go before the Recreation and Park Commission on Thursday. The concerts will be presented by Another Planet Entertainment and co-produced with Live Nation in partnership with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.

To accommodate the tens of thousands of people expected to attend the concerts, a "comprehensive transportation plan" will be developed to help encourage use of public transport and minimize impacts to the neighborhoods surrounding Golden Gate Park, according to the press release. Enhanced security and extensive cleanup efforts will also be employed.

Music so good it changes the weather. On 6/27 there was a Rainbow over Levi Stadium and then it Rained. Just a very light sprinkle, but we all felt it.

Grateful Dead psychedelic art files for your viewing pleasure...

The wonderful Winterland Arena in San Francisco was the home to many Grateful Dead Concerts... It was the ONE PLACE where the Wall of Sound really worked! They had days to set up the equipment and tweak it to perfection... The Movie with the cartoon at the beginning was filmed there... and it was a fine show! They included fire on stage and ladies dancing with silk scarves...
