A couple weekends ago was the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival here in SF. It's great fun - about 750,000 people crowded into a section of Golden Gate Park for three days of free music (thank you Warren Hellman!). It's a tradition for me and my friends, even though it's gotten more and more crowded each year. So lovely though: set up a blanket, bring a bunch of food and alcohol, and have a weekend full of free music!

Here's some photos from this year:


Les Claypool's Duo de Twang was good fun:

For me, Silversun Pickups 2 years ago. It was pretty good too.

I don't get out much anymore :)

Had an absolute blast at Here Come The Mummies concert a few weeks back.

Just got home from seeing Clutch! What a great fucking show!

Saw Turnpike Troubadours on friday, 3rd or 4th time I've seen them. Great live band... and I'm not a big country fan.

Soundgarden at the palace in louisville.

Saw Black Sabbath last night in Holmdel NJ - Fucking amazing show!

Was it Oz Fest? Are they still doing that?

I saw them for the first three and I have to agree, it's a totally amazing show. :)

No it was just Sabbath - minus Bill Ward on drums. They sounded amazing!

The Dwarves, Show was completely disapointing! They used to be my favorite band, but damn those old guys just dont know when to quit! Their new albums completely erased what was a legendary saga of their classic albums.:evillol :evillol
