SAMMY HAGAR Shares “Loose Lucy” Live Performance Video From THE GRATEFUL DEAD MusiCares 60th Anniversary

Sammy Hagar has shared a new live video along with the following message:

“At last night’s MusiCares honoring the Grateful Dead, right before my performance of ‘Loose Lucy’, I decided to play the guitar solo myself. Having Zac Brown, Billy Strings, Marcus King, John Mayer and many other guitar greats in the house, needless to say, I was nervous! But anything for my brothers Bob Weir and Mickey Hart. The band was great, thank you all.”

Additional fan-filmed video is also available below.

The MusiCares Persons Of The Year annual gala honouring The Grateful Dead took place on Friday, January 31 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

According to a report from Billboard, MusiCares, the Academy’s philanthropic arm that provides financial aid and other services to those in the music community, “launched a relief effort, raising and distributing almost $4 and a half million dollars in grants to over 2,000 affected music professionals,” he said. “Throughout the Grammy weekend, we’ll continue to raise awareness and funds, celebrate first responders and support this city, so as we begin the 2025 Grammy weekend, there’s no better honoree than the Grateful Dead.”
