Last weekend was the 3rd annual Outside Lands Music Festival in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco &, although this year was only 2 days instead of 3, it was still absolutely FABULOUS! My Morning Jacket blew my mind on Saturday. It was the 4th time I have seen MMJ &, as usual, they totally kicked ass. Jim James is a god. He looks like a lumberjack yet he sings like an angel :-) Other favorites (in no particular order) included Janelle Monae, Furthur, Pretty Lights, Wolfmother, The Strokes, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Slightly Stoopid, Phoenix, Damian "Jr Gong" Marley & Nas &, last but definitely not least, Kings of Leon. The only 2 acts I missed because the timing was just not working out were Cat Power & Empire of the Sun but I think/hope I'll have other chances to see them. I could give you every detail about every show but, since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, these videos should be worth at least a million:
