Furthur ~ Jerry Garcia Day ~ The National Anthem 8-9-10 (Phil Lesh, Bob Weir & Jeff Pehrson)

The title says it all - The remaining vocalists from the Grateful Dead sing the National Anthem in front of a ball park full of San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs Baseball fans & Dead Heads alike. Fifteen years to the day of the passing of the legendary guitarist and vocalist Jerry (Jerome J.) Garcia. It should be noted that the last public performance by both Garcia and the Grateful Dead was on July 9th , 1995 in Chicago Illinois - Home of the Cubs... San Francisco was the birthplace and home of Garcia during the early Grateful Dead years and home to the Warfield Theatre where Garcia performed almost every month with his side band The Jerry Garcia Band for the final 6 years of his life... Lesh, Weir & Pehrson (formerly of the band Box Set) have been keeping the Dead's flame alive with the band Furthur who has been touring America the past two years.... The Dead cover band Cryptical performed before the game on top of the Dug Out and also at a pre-game private party that also featured speaches by former Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and Basketball player and sportscaster Bill Walton along with a guest appearance by Carolyn Garcia one of Jerry's daughters who also was honored to throw out the opening game ball to begin a game that ended in the Giant's favor 11 innings later!!!

[@JaniceArrington]

does anyone know where I can see the one with Jerry Garcia with the SF Giants Letter jacket on and singing with Bobby on the field before the game

[@michellewolfson1]

Who's the mean crotchety lady who keeps trying to drag Phil away? LOL

[@thearchivist2666]

She was (she is now deceased) Phil's manager, Cathy. Yes, she was quite 'crotchety'.... But for some reason, Phil liked her....

[@twentiethcenturyamericanma4518]

So strong. Despite my personal affinity to all things Jerry, this is much better than the clip of Jerry, Bobby, and Vince doing the same. Amazing man absolutely amazing

[@saintofconsequence]

Phil is my musical hero

[@briandrum1]

why'd they get so fired up at you?

[@thearchivist2666]

Cathy, Phil's manager carried a personal grudge against the camera operator.

[@1111111121121]

@TheFatManRocked lol

[@andy23822]

Please don't tell me that's Phil's wife getting all pissy. If so, she looks aweful. Sorry Phil.

[@thearchivist2666]

No, it was Phil's manager, Cathy, now since deceased.
