Grateful Dead Workingman's Dead

The Story

The cover photo of the Grateful Dead's Workingman's Dead was taken in front of Beanie's Place Tavern, a corner bar in Bayview-Hunters Point, southeast San Francisco. The exact address remained unidentified for decades but was discovered by researchers like Bob Egan of PopSpots by matching unreleased rehearsal photos, visible oil tanks in the background, and historical city maps. The building no longer exists.
