Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson TOGETHER!! 3 full days of the best weather Golden Gate Park has ever seen. Robyn Hitchcock playing with Gillian Welch?! 6 flasks of Tequila Reposado! Steve Earle singing with his son, Justin Townes Earle. Beer and treats available behind every bush. Dr. John playing guitar! Chandeliers hanging from the trees. Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) with M. Ward. Wavy Gravy! Bob Mould doing Husker Du classics. Thurston Moore reading poetry. Mekons, Jayhawks oh my. And it was all FREE!? Truly the best HSB yet. Thanks Warren Hellman, you rule.
