Phish released a soundcheck jam from the August 14th show in Hartford, CT earlier this month and it’s actually pretty interesting. The show notes say “Trey Anastasio on bass and Jon Fishman on drums” which is what makes it more interesting for me obviously. Right now they’re offering it up as a free download, so head over to LivePhish.com to get a version for yourself.
Fire!
Day three of Outside Lands is about to begin, and I need to hightail-it down to Golden Gate Park so I can catch some of the set by The Morning Benders. I’m having a blast at the festival so far and I’d rather get down there to enjoy the music, so just assume that I’m going to try and catch a little of everything today. With the major conflict being the Ween / M.I.A. / Band of Horses sets around sunset, I’ll be a bit torn on what I want to watch the most of.
Expect some photos and some videos tomorrow and hope everyone else is having a good weekend! Look for me on the webcast, too.
The first act I caught yesterday was Akron/Family, and I’m extremely glad that I got a chance to see these guys. They completely exceeded all of my expectations, with the standout being this song called “Everyone is Guilty.”

This song has everything I love about music wrapped up in one big funky jam.
Yesterday’s kickoff to the second Outside Lands Music Festival was amazing. The weather was perfect for a music festival, which is totally unseasonably interesting because you wouldn’t expect weather like we had yesterday during the summer in San Francisco. Today looks like another day filled with sun and good music, so I thought I’d give a run-down of the stuff I’ll be seeing today. I strayed from my plan a bit yesterday once I connected with my friends and went with the flow of the group for a bit, which led to me being about fifth or sixth row for Q-Tip’s set filled with energized nostalgia for his A Tribe Called Quest days. Hopefully I stumbled into some good situations like that today as well.
Outside Lands starts in four hours or so and I’m moving a bit slow from the Holy Fuck show last night at the Independent, but I wanted to post up the webcast schedule that YouTube is providing for the entire festival weekend.

This was one of the songs I heard as I meandered my way back to the very bottom of the south lot at Red Rocks to put my camera away and get a recharge of beers from my rental car trunk. Patrick was taping:

This is definitely a big live music weekend for me with Outside Lands starting tomorrow, and I’m kicking things off right with Holy Fuck at the Independent tonight.

I love this band. Can’t wait to see them again.
The grounds are being prepared in Golden Gate Park for this weekend’s second incarnation of the Outside Lands Music Festival, an event that I’ll be in attendance for once again this year. I’m excited for the weekend and the good lineup, and I’m looking forward to seeing a few bands that I’ve never seen before. I’m going to run down what I think I’m going to see this weekend and why I think you should join me. If you’re going to the fest tomorrow drop me a line and maybe we can hang out. READ MORE
