"As we learned this summer with the Grateful Dead 60th anniversary Dead & Company concerts in Golden Gate Park, whenever a Grateful Dead milestone is celebrated in San Francisco, there will always be more than one event to celebrate milestone. And so it shall be with the tragic passing of Grateful Dead frontman and co-founder Bob Weir last weekend, an occasion that was marked with the spontaneous Grateful Dead live jam-band dance party on Haight Street that broke out within hours of the news."
"Because that event now has major Saturday competition from a far bigger celebration of Bob Weir's life. The Chronicle reports there will be a huge, free public memorial to Bob Weir on Saturday afternoon. It's being called Homecoming: Celebrating the Life of Bobby Weir, organized by Another Planet Entertainment, and is scheduled for 12:45 pm this Saturday, January 17 at Civic Center Plaza. The memorial is open to anyone, though fans are encouraged to RSVP."
