kenog Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 http://www.pressdemo...nment?p=3&tc=pg Banker's dream fills Golden Gate Park with free music Kinky Friedman and his band, The Texas Jewboys, will be making their first appearance at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. By MICHAEL SHAPIRO THE PRESS DEMOCRAT Published: Thursday, September 30, 2010 at 3:00 a.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 5:31 p.m. A decade ago, San Francisco investment banker Warren Hellman had a wacky idea: he wanted to underwrite a free bluegrass festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. "We had no idea whether anybody would show up," Hellman recalled from his office, with views of Angel Island. "And there were 20,000 people." The 10th annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass concert, which has grown wildly since its inception in 2001, will take over Golden Gate Park from Friday, Oct. 1, through Sunday, Oct. 3 And Robert Plant, the voice of Led Zeppelin, will join other musicians even though he's not listed as part of the lineup.

SuperDave Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Robert looks so cool above and having a great time. Like the photo with the shades on, even if it's a bit distant. Thanks ProPlant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snkcube Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Aw man, I didn't know JPJ was performing today. I did take a few pictures of Robert today, but they aren't as fancy as ProPlant's. http://bit.ly/R6TyRB - Robert with Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris, Victoria Williams, Jim Lauderdale and Patty Griffin. http://bit.ly/R2WH80 - A separate shot of Robert with the above people. http://bit.ly/T8SYlC - Patty and Robert. http://bit.ly/SF7YeM - Another picture of Patty and Robert.

Strider Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Excellent! Thanks to shutterbugs ProPlant and snkcube! After seeing the London press conference and now these photos, it appears Plant has changed his hair a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Just tied back I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStatic Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I also think Roberts hair is tied back. But it does bring back to mind his 80's mullet cut IMO, esp. the bottom pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProPlant Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Great photos. Thanks! Agree that the pictures are great snkcube! Robert's hair was just pulled back during the show. He played the harmonica and sang the chorus on "Somewhere Trouble Don't Go" much like during the Band of Joy shows. He and Patty sang the song "Ohio" that they co-wrote about the underground railroad. Anyone who bought the Sensational Space Shifters download that Robert put out from London will have heard this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Knebs Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I love the LZ community for the sharing- can't say thank you enough. Anyone else wish Robert had a white dove land in his hand whilst singing? Dude can bang on the harmonica- sheeeiminy christmas. Emmylou looks like Bride of American Indian Zombie Night Valentine right? Her voice is still nice enough its just, well, Loreal/Covergirl intervention on the hotline please. Sorry, shouldn't comment when on allergy meds. Sorry maybe. Need sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
