Furthur - Phil Lesh, Bob Weir & Jeff Pehrson Sing The National Anthem 8-9-10 Jerry Garcia Game Day

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!!!

@mtnjam22 - Kathy - the angry lady who happens to be the band and Phil Lesh's Band manager - and I have a personal history between the two of us - long story short - she does not seem to like me very much. To say the least when she saw me on the field taping she was not happy one bit - but too bad for her - I had credentials and permission from the Giants!

@kindjim - The angry person is not Jill - see above comments for clarification... Thank you though for the kind comment on my work.

@andy23822 - No it is Kathy - Phil Lesh & Furthur's band manager...

[TheFatManRocked]

The cranky old lady at the end is Phil Lesh's/Furthur's band manager!!! Her & I have a long personal history - bottom line - she does not like me much & was shocked to see me on the field just feet away from Phil & was not happy to say the least. Little did she realize that I was filming it with the graces & ALL ACCESS FIELD CREDENTIALS given to me by the Giants themselves - there was nothing she could do & that got her even more upset - so out of frustration she dragged a confused Phil away..
