Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band played the Fourth of July outdoor concert in Battery Park yesterday afternoon. The concert started with a set by Jenny Lewis. It was a good show, though not exactly patriotic. This year the weather could not have been better, there was no pre-concert ticketing like previous years, and giant ice cream sandwiches were on hand. Not bad at all. Here are some pictures.
