THIRTY YEARS AGO A FREE CONCERT WAS HELD IN GOLDEN GATE PARK TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF PROMOTER BILL GRAHAM WHO DIED A WEEK EARLIER WHEN THE HELICOPTER HE WAS A PASSENGER IN CRASHED IN STORMY WEATHER. THE HELICOPTER STRUCK THE TOP OF A PG&E TRANSMISSION TOWER NEAR SEARS POINT AND EXPLODED. GRAHAM WAS RETURNING HOME FROM A HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS CONCERT AT THE CONCORD PAVILION. GRAHAM HAD ATTENDED THE EVENT TO DISCUSS PROMOTING A BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE 1991 OAKLAND HILLS FIRESTORM. THE CRASH, WHICH LEFT THE WRECKAGE DANGLING NEAR THE TOP OF THE TOWER, KILLED GRAHAM, HIS GIRLFRIEND MELISSA GOLD AND THE PILOT STEVE KAHN.
