Yuuuuge crowd. People still not inside when he/ took the stage. Very diverse crowd of people Hispanics Asian people black people young people old people bikers hippies school kids and lots and lots of Children.
Very rock star like Rockstar stage Rockstar intros Danny Glover was amazing got the crowd very fired up.
The music was a bunch of local bands mostly solo artists including one of my friends Brian Rogers who played percussion along with another Sacramento artist whose name escapes me right now.

Biggest chair of the night was when he said Healthcare is a right and that we all deserve Healthcar. HeI also hit it big with free tuition and on the environment. he continually talked about taxing corporations Wall Street and the tax avoiders but never said anything about raising taxes on the middle class.
