Outside Lands 2011: Day 2
1:36pm: On my way to Golden Gate Park for day two of Outside Lands. Missed Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, but should be there in time for the start of a pretty epic lineup: OK Go, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, topped off with some Muse. Bummed that Girl Talk is playing during the Muse set at the other end of the huge venue, but I have a feeling it’ll all work out.
3:23pm: OK Go has taken the stage, opening with “Do What You Want”:
3:37pm: Don’t know if you can tell from the photo, but OK Go is dressed in the colors of Google. Corporate much!?
4:18pm: Despite their corporate appearance, OK Go just killed it! Waiting for Arctic Monkeys now.
4:54pm: Arctic Monkeys are kicking ass!!!
5:33pm: Arctic Monkeys are seriously tearing it up. Seriously. Did not play “505,” which I would have loved to hear, but did get a lot of familiar tunes in. Closed with “When the Sun Goes Down.”
6:08pm: Waiting for The Black Keys to take the stage. Made it near the stage, crowd is huge, updates will be minimal because I won’t be able to reach my phone!
7:40pm: Holy CRAP. The Black Keys kicked ass. So much energy! Brought in some extra band members for their newer songs. Now… MUSE.
8:13pm: MUSE. Good night!
