Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – Jerry Garcia was a friendly, warm person. We vaguely looked alike (beards were more rare then) but it’s his kind graciousness I remember, as well as his music. All the Grateful Dead were really nice to my son Gio, who even traveled with them a bit. This photo was taken backstage at the 2nd annual Bay Area Music Awards in 1980 at the @thewarfield theatre.
