"He brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people,"
"I'm expecting a lot of friends and family to show up, talking about Bob, how great he was and how he kept it going after Jerry died,"
"This is a free public gathering honoring Bobby, whose music, spirit and humanity shaped generations together. We will pay tribute to the community and the collective heartbeat that he created."
"We're expecting people from all over the Bay Area and the country to come honor and celebrate the life of Bob Weir. It's going to be a historic moment in our city and history. He's done so much for our city, it's a chance to give back to him and his family,"
Thousands of people gathered in San Francisco to say goodbye to Grateful Dead cofounder Bob Weir at a free public memorial outside the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. He helped craft the band's unique sound that became synonymous with the 1960s counterculture movement. Weir died at 78 from underlying lung issues after beating cancer. His family described the gathering as honoring Bobby, whose music, spirit and humanity shaped generations, and said the event will pay tribute to the community and collective heartbeat he created. A procession will travel three blocks down Market Street between 7th and 9th Streets at about 12:30 p.m. The memorial could rival the 1995 farewell for Jerry Garcia and drew fans and family from across the Bay Area and beyond.
