GETTING READY: Perfect weather at Livestrong Sporting Park. Let's have a concert!

RATED FOUR STARS : My day started with a Farm Aid press conference including Dave Matthews, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson and a host of others involved with farming. All four of these guys got on the mic.

NEVER TOO BUSY FOR HIS FANS: I ran into Jason Mraz signing autographs afterward.

ALMOST WORE THAT TOO: Some of the performers were easier to spot than others.

MEANWHILE, OUT IN THE TENT: Chatting with actress and singer Rebecca Pidgeon.

ONE HEADLIGHT, ONE GUITAR: Jakob Dylan, on stage and on Livestrong's closed-circuit TV screens.

DUELLING GUITARS: Dave Matthews seems to enjoy getting upstaged by a Tim Reynolds guitar solo.
