"My first concert in 1982 was the Grateful Dead. And to have my last one here, it's just bittersweet," Lafayette resident Lauren Rubenstein said.
Tie-dye shirts and Deadhead merch lined the Embarcardero Sunday as fans made their way to the stadium for the final show.
"To be here for the final round is everything. My heart is so full. Like the fans, they radiate love right now," Grass Valley resident Kelsey Kribs said.
Kribs' father introduced her to the Grateful Dead and she says if he were still alive he'd be here.

"I mean, I saw the Grateful Dead when I was my son's age. When I was 17, I was 15. That great Jerry Garcia was still alive, so that was in New York," he said.
Alvey passed on his passion for the band.
"I love the Grateful Dead the last show that I saw they played one of my favorite songs and I was almost tearing up, it was great. It means a lot," Tor Alvey said.
The father and son were in San Francisco for all three shows.
