By The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead joined San Francisco Giants third base coach and musician Tim Flannery to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Game 3 of the NL Championship Series on Tuesday at AT&T Park.

In August, Weir cancelled all of the tour dates he had planned through January.

The 66-year-old guitarist, one of the Grateful Dead’s founder, said his tour with his current band, RatDog, wouldn’t kick off as planned and announced on the band’s website that “circumstances have necessitated that all scheduled tour dates for Bob Weir & RatDog are being cancelled.” No other details were given.

The trio of Lesh, Weir and Flannery also performed the anthem before Game 2 of the 2012 NLCS against St. Louis.
