Review: Here’s how Dead & Company brought its career to a close in S.F.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:53 GMT

Dead & Company opened it’s three-night final stand at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Friday (July 14) with “Not Fade Away.”Two days — and some 11 hours of live music — later, the band closed its touring career on Sunday by playing the exact same song, making for the only repeat of the 50-plus tunes performed over the weekend.Guess they wanted to drive home a point, one made abundantly clear by the (slightly altered) lyrics in this cherished cover of the Crickets classic:“You know our love will not fade away.”And it goes both ways, for sure. Dead & Company used the last weekend of its final tour to show to fans how much they’ve meant to the band during its 8-year run — as well as for prior 50 years of support for its parent band, the Palo Alto-born Grateful Dead — while fans showered their musical heroes with love from the first note of Night 1 to the closing bell on Sunday.Truly, this is a relationship that is buil...

(KRON) -- A federal judge dismissed the claims filed in San Jose by a gun rights group who hoped to challenge the constitutionality of an ordinance introduced in 2022. The ordinance requires gun owners to carry liability insurance to cover any accidental shootings that involve their firearms.

The 23-page decision issued by U.S. District Court Judge Beth Labson Freeman dismissed many of the gun rights group's challenges. The judge did allow the challengers to re-file their complaint regarding a different part of the ordinance, which requires that gun owners pay a $25 annual fee to the city to support a fund that aims to prevent gun-related injuries. The judge said the challenge to the fee was not "ripe" for decision as the City has not implemented the fee yet. Former Mayo...
