While the Grateful Dead were supposed to be the first act to perform at Shoreline when it opened in 1986, the plans were scrapped due to Jerry Garcia’s health issues. The Dead finally made their Shoreline debut on October 2, 1987 — the concert featured in Friday’s Shakedown Stream. Garcia was joined in the band at the time by guitarist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh, keyboardist Brent Mydland and drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. The Grateful Dead wound up playing a total of 39 shows at the venue, which become their last Bay Area home, before Jerry’s death in 1995.

Donations received will go to MusiCares and the Neal Casal Foundation. Watch the pre-show and the Dead’s October 2, 1987 performance below:
