When we posted the Outside Lands festival lineup, we mentioned how the San Fransisco festival tried to fit it “between a jam and a rock space,” especially with Further (featuring the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and Phil Lesh) and the Strokes headlining on Saturday. According to our photographer Graeme Flegenheimer there was a hippie/hipster divide on day one, with most of the former camping by the Further stage to get a good spot for the night. People who stuck to the Strokes stage got a six-song encore — maybe not a Grateful Dead-length show, but 17 songs total. The next day dedicated fans did the same for Kings Of Leon. Fortunately the weather/vibe was, according to Graeme, “sunny and fun.” He finished up Sunday by catching the Outside Lands afterparty at The Mezzanine, where Jimmy Cliff headlined.
