Sound of Sunshine, Loose Lucy, Still Standing, Here Comes the Sun
''Here Comes the Sun'' ended unplugged with musicians leading audience to the California Public Utilities Commission building
(Rock the Sun)
On January 24, 2016, Bob Weir, Michael Franti, and Sammy Hagar performed a free acoustic set at the Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco to support solar energy in California. The event, part of the "Rock the Sun" campaign, was held to protest proposed legislation that would have charged a monthly fee to homeowners with solar power. Event Details
- Purpose: The event was an activism effort to protect rooftop solar power in California by raising awareness about legislation that would effectively kill the widespread use of home solar power.
- Format: It was a free acoustic concert held in the hotel's courtyard.
- Performance: The musicians played a set that included songs like Michael Franti's "The Sound of Sunshine" and "Still Standing," the Grateful Dead's "Loose Lucy," and the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun".
- Beyond the Hotel: After the acoustic set at the Phoenix Hotel, the event turned into a musical march to San Francisco City Hall.
- Accessibility: For those unable to attend in person, the performance was also live-streamed on YouTube.
