Note:
Part of the summer Stern Grove Festival, a weekly free concert series in the historic Stern Grove. The series was started n 1938. The venue can fit up to 20,000, and is a deep grove of eucalyptus and redwood trees. There's a small lawn in front of the stage but people can sit up in the hill. Patti was on fire for this show - she was all 4 p's - poetic, punk, pissed, passionate. She honored City Lights bookstore, remembered those who recently passed. She flubbed a line or two, was overcame with emotion for mother nature and pissed off at people who kept shoving cameras in her face. This was a extraordinary performance in a perfect place for her. I edited out some claps and some crowd in a couple of places between songs.
