Grateful Dead - Bob Weir
Baron Wolman

Bob Weir, best known as a founding member of The Grateful Dead, poses in this classic shot from 1969, the year of the summer of love. Baron Wolman was a neighbor of The Grateful Dead. "We moved into the Haight-Ashbury in 1964. We simply wanted an apartment with a view in an 'interesting' neighborhood, convenient to downtown. Who knew that within a few months our 'hood' would become a national symbol for the Sixties, that we would be privileged to be in the front row of a stage on which were played the many dramas of change taking place in our society." - Baron Wolman
