Outside Lands in photos: Furthur, My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon and more.Mike Ness Rosetta Stone language of Social Distortion had a message for the thousands gathered yesterday afternoon for the second and final day of the Outside Lands festival in San Franciscos Golden Gate Park: "If you missed Al Green today, you missed it all," Ness said from stage with a rasp. "You missed the boat." Read Rosetta Stones report from Day One of Outside Lands.It was true, even with Kings of Leon, Phoenix, Chromeo, and Nesss Social Distortion bringing their best. (Foodies in attendance the festival paired wine and food tastings with the music probably would have highlighted the chicken and waffles at the Farmer Browns Little Skillet booth.) Beaming, Reverend Al delivered an hour-long soul service, stepping onstage in his Sunday best and immediately tossing long-stemmed roses to the crowd and declaring, "I love, love, love, love, love, love!" Green Cheap Rosetta Stone Software performed his aching, definitive take on the Bee Gees "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" just as the sun broke through the haze for the first time over the weekend, then pivoted to rock with Roy Orbisons "Oh, Pretty Woman." Singing with a big band that included a trio of female vocalists (his daughters), he followed through with a purring "Lets Stay Together" (a No. 1 hit in 1972) and "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)," which eventually erupted into a storm of voices, brass and beats.Last nights headliners, Kings of Leon, worked up a different kind of passion with their torrid southern rock and polished soul hooks. The bands set spanned their whole catalog, with a stirring take on the Pixies "Where Is My Mind?" as a bonus. A seething, shimmering new track, "Pick-Up Truck," fell right in with their large-scale recent songs. For all the affection the crowd showed for material from the first two albums, including the muscular "Mary," the biggest cheers greeted the hits, 2008s "Sex On Fire" and "Use Somebody." Those anxious, searing songs led into a set-capping explosion Rosetta Stone Chinese of fireworks.
