SF Bids Farewell to Bobby Weir with a Homecoming Memorial
TL;DR
Nearly 20,000 Deadheads and fans gathered in San Francisco for 'Homecoming: Celebrating the Life of Bob Weir,' a memorial at Civic Center Plaza that offered a mixtape tribute and video appearances rather than live music. John Mayer delivered the eulogy and spoke alongside figures like Nancy Pelosi and Willie Nelson, with additional tributes from artists and friends; a 108‑second moment of silence marked the moment. The event closed as Mayer led a Ripple performance and the crowd sang along to 'One More Saturday Night.'
