Several hundred fans turned out to name a tiny street in San Francisco after celebrated Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia.

Back when he was a teenager, before he was even a fan of the band, he found himself at a Dead concert in Berkeley in the 1980s, and soon, in 1989, started selling T-shirts. He followed the band on tour until “the demise of Jerry,” when the lead singer died in 1995 of a heart attack.

The dedication, held in the Excelsior District where Garcia grew up, kicked off a weekend of celebrations including Jerry Day and three Dead & Company concerts in Golden Gate Park.
