Traffic was kinda gonzo on the way over – too many Mario Andretti's speeding home for the weekend? – but it mellowed out nicely once we made it past the accident-induced jam at the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge toll plaza.

Tonight's show was rather chill: pretty acoustic tunes for a sunny but breezy afternoon in the park.

I was a little surprised that the band didn't seem ready to play any more tunes once they finished the album, and slightly disappointed that we only got two additional tunes – after all, Neil's got a bajillion good ones, right? Am I being greedy? Yeah, you right! Unreasonable? I don't think so!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
