The second day of Outside Lands on Saturday was equally as hot (temperature-wise) as the first, and the crowd was estimated at near the festival's capacity of 60,000 -- and it was all probably thanks to Dave Matthews Band and The Black Eyed Peas (and not, as we might have hoped, TV on the Radio, who were nonetheless swell). Other highlights were the Street Sweeper Social Club (featuring Boots Riley of The Coup and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine), Deerhunter, Bat for Lashes, the ever emotive Conor Oberst, and we got to hand it to Jason Mraz for keeping it breezy with a set of surf music -- not our thing, but the girls seem to like it. Here are some pics by SFist music editor Moses Namkung, and a gallery of Day 3 is here.




Well, did the crowd rush the stage during M.I.A.'s set??
I was over at Ween, but I heard she was off-key and played one song that was so bad that half the crowd left.
I saw her for a few songs. Its the third time I have seen her at a large, outdoor venue - and each time she sounds horrible. Her sound just doesn't work well in these kinds of venues.
Maybe she could play with a delay, so her producers can fix her sound before it hits the crowd?
That crowd shot looks pretty, um... homogeneous.
All of the black people that like Dave Matthews Band are IN Dave Matthews Band.
Fergie and Dave... who'd ya think would come and watch, the Black Panthers?
