SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Forty years after the Summer of Love celebrated the free-living ways of the 1960s counterculture, bidders paid more than $1.1 million at auction on Tuesday for Grateful Dead memorabilia.

A cream-colored 1975 Travis Bean electric guitar belonging to the band’s legendary, late lead guitar player, Jerry Garcia, brought in $312,000 in a brisk sale, auction house said.

Enthusiasts also bid $102,000 for an acoustic guitar and $39,000 for a Gibson electric guitar played by Garcia.
