The heartbeat of Shakedown Street can be felt miles before you get there. Nearly 60,000 concertgoers, dressed in head-to-toe tie-dye, flooded JFK Boulevard for the three-night Grateful Dead 60th anniversary celebration in Golden Gate Park.

For as much as Jerry Day is a Deadhead event, it's also the Excelsior's biggest event of the year. Garcia grew up in the Excelsior, at 87 Harrington St., a typical low-slung family home.
