San Francisco will be the site of one of this summer's newest live-music events: The Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival will feature five stages and take place August 22-24th in Golden Gate Park. While the full lineup has yet to be released, Radiohead, Tom Petty and Jack Johnson have been booked as headliners and the event's organizers -- the co-founders of Bonnaroo and one of the biggest promoters in Northern California -- are promising a wide range of acts (everything from rock and jazz to Latin, hip-hop and electro) as well as local artists, local food and exhibitions of traditional and new-media art.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
