San Francisco 49ers stars enjoy an epic night out in Las Vegas and meet music royalty
Several members of the San Francisco 49ers enjoyed a night out in Las Vegas to see Dead & Company live at The Sphere and got to meet legendary musician Bob Weir during their time in Sin City. Dead & Company is made up of former members of rock band Grateful Dead, covering the retired group's old songs during their current Las Vegas residency. The 49ers in attendance included Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Jake Tonges, and Kyle Juszczyk. Bob Weir is on vocals and guitar for Dead & Company and was pictured with McCaffrey after the concert ended for a photo barefoot. McCaffrey shared several photos from he and his teammates time at the concert on his Instagram on Monday. First is the teammates on the floor of The Sphere listening to Weir on stage shredding his guitar. There is also a wide shot of the venue's changing projections on the screens around the inside venue. There is also multiple group shots of the NFL squad, including one looking up at a projection of the night sky and another of a selfie taken by Kittle. Another projection in McCaffrey's only uploaded video shows a tribute to famed Las Vegas hotel Circus Circus on the screens. The 49ers attended the fourth-to-last concert as part of Dead & Company's residency, with the last show being on Saturday. It was a bit of a homecoming for some of the 49ers, who may have last been in Las Vegas for the 2024 Super Bowl, falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime. The 49ers has a disappointing response to a conference-championship season, finishing the year 6-11 and missing the playoffs. The team is expected to do better this fall with keeping most of its integral players outside of Deebo Samuel, who was traded to the Washington Commanders.

San Jose mayor pushes plan to arrest homeless people refusing shelter
(KRON) — San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan says his proposed policies on homelessness are aligned with Gov. Gavin Newson's recent model for banning camps at the city and county level. Newson's plan calls for a prohibition on camping in one spot or in areas that block public walkways. It also requires local officials to 'make every reasonable effort' to offer shelter to homeless people before clearing camps. Mahan's 'responsibility to shelter' plan, meanwhile, would allow authorities to arrest homeless people if they refuse shelter three times in 18 months. 'Our goal is to get everyone indoors, into shelter or treatment,' Mahan told KRON4. Dead & Company plan Golden Gate Park show to commemorate Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary Mahan will have to get the rest of the city council on board with arresting homeless people before his plan can move forward. So far, several council members are concerned about the toll the approach would take on city resources. Watch KRON4 reporter Jack Molmud's full report in the video above.

Golden Gate Park concerts planned to celebrate 60 years of Grateful Dead
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Monday that that city is planning to welcome Dead & Company for a series of concerts at Golden Gate Park this summer to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Grateful Dead. "From Haight-Ashbury and the Grateful Dead house to Ingleside, where Jerry Garcia grew up, the Grateful Dead is embedded in San Francisco's history," Lurie said in a statement. "The weekend will celebrate our city's creative spirit, boost our local economy, and bring generations of fans together. This is more than just a concert—it's a San Francisco homecoming." Three shows would take place at the Polo Fields on Aug. 1, 2 and 3, one week before the annual Outside Lands music festival, according to city officials. The shows would be presented by Another Planet Entertainment and co-produced with Live Nation, in partnership with the city's Recreation and Park Department. Lurie said the concerts would draw up to 60,000 people per day. "Celebrating their 60th anniversary with a Dead & Company performance in the very place where the Summer of Love took root is a powerful tribute to their legacy," said Phil Ginsburg, general manager of the city's Recreation and Park Department. The proposal for the shows is expected to go before the Recreation and Park Commission on Thursday. In a video posted on social media, the mayor said, "Right here, in the city that is the home of the Grateful Dead. What better way to celebrate? We'll see you out here in August."
