“I never saw Jerry live. But I have seen every iteration of The Dead with Bobby, since the early 2000s. This is going to have huge impact on this community. It’s a great community”, said Jess Keay, who lives in Fairfax.
The kings of psychedelic rock rose to prominence during the rise of the counterculture movement born on the streets of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury. The band’s eclectic music combined rock with elements of jazz, blues and folk.
On social media, the Weir family wrote: “Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music. His work did more than fill rooms with music; it was warm sunlight that filled the soul.
