RonJonSurfer Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 S.F. Names Amphitheater for Jerry Garcia Call it a "deadication." Jerry Garcia's hometown has named a 600-seat amphitheater in his memory. On the bill for the grand opening Saturday were Jefferson Starship, David Gans and master of ceremonies Wavy Gravy, who, like Garcia, has been honored with his own flavor of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. The amphitheater is located in a park in the same neighborhood where Garcia grew up and started his strumming. On Wednesday, some of The Grateful Dead guitarist's artwork was installed at San Francisco City Hall as part of an inaugural exhibit for a new gallery. The exhibit includes drawings from Garcia's childhood and days as a student at The California School of the Arts. Garcia died on Aug. 9, 1995, from heart trouble brought on by sleep apnea.
