Grateful Dead - 1989-08-19 - Berkeley, CA (SBD)

Built in 1903, The William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre, known simply as the Greek Theatre, is an 8,500 seat amphitheater owned and operated by the University of California, Berkeley.  The venue should not be confused with the similarly named facility located near Los Angeles. In its more than 100 year history, Berkeley’s Greek Theatre has hosted Shakespearean plays, college football rallies, political and religious leaders such as Corazon Aquino and the Dalai Lama, comedians such as Bill Cosby, and of course, more than its fair share of musical acts.  One of the bands who frequented the Greek most often was San Francisco’s own Grateful Dead. The band played the venue 29 times between 1967 and 1989, with most of those concerts in the decade of the 1980s, including this show on August 19, 1989, 23 years ago today.  Download this one to hear the last time the Dead ever played at this Berkeley landmark.
