Living in the Bay Area as a music freak means having almost too many good shows around too often. Seriously. it's an embarrassment of riches with plenty to go around. Get here and see for yourself.

Late spring through early fall always meant outdoor shows around here. The summer has always meant shows in Golden Gate Park, Stern Grove and hitting the highway to head to the Sierra's for many festivals. I was an usher at Shoreline Amphitheater in its earliest days, and was lucky to see some very memorable shows. Now that I think about it the summers included the Greek Theater and Frost Amphitheater as well. Then there was the Haight Street Fair. It was overly packed, but the bands were always a hoot. 

I've never been one to want to spend a dime for a concert in the park. I just do not understand how Outside Lands can exist in Golden Gate Park. I think if you have a SF ID then you have every right to walk right in there.

The headliner tonight, Lucinda Williams, really shines in an outdoor setting. I have seen here at Stern Grove, and I was at this show you're going to hear tonight, at the remarkable Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate Park, which takes place for three days around my birthday, at the end of September each year, thanks to the late music lover, and local billionaire, Warren Hellman. When he died he left a trust making certain the festival would continue and that it would remain free. Thanks Warren!

This set from October 3, 2014 is such a treat. The band is in top form, and the set is one of her best, pulling from much of her catalogue, and includes a Neil Young cover and Allman Brothers cover. I know you're going to dig this.

Leading up to the Lucinda Williams set I've got a short little taste from Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Warren Haynes, live in the KFOG Play Space, May 11, 2009. It's Grateful Dead songs done acoustically, with some banter between songs.

Support these bands. Buy their officially released music and merch, and never ever sell live bootlegs. These are for trade only.

Stick around Monday's 8-10PM Pacific for my weekly music mix, Hell's Kitchen Radio. Lots of new music to share with you every week.

Enjoy and pay it forward.
