The Grateful Dead Didn't Leave 710 Ashbury — They Were Pushed Out
The Grateful Dead didn't choose to leave 710 Ashbury Street. A police raid, a neighborhood overwhelmed by 100,000 arrivals, and a drug scene that turned from acid to speed forced the band out of the house that defined them.
In October 1967, San Francisco police raided 710 Ashbury with reporters in tow, arresting Bob Weir and Pigpen McKernan. Four days later, the Diggers staged a mock funeral for the hippie movement on Haight Street. By March 1968, the Dead played one final farewell show on flatbed trucks — Viola Lee Blues, Smokestack Lightning, Turn On Your Love Light — then cleared out for Marin County.
Bob Weir called the Summer of Love "the death knell of what was happening." Jerry Garcia blamed the paranoid political newsletters and police crackdowns. The Diggers' own bulletins described a neighborhood where women no longer felt safe.
