Outdoor summer concerts are really catching a tough break this year with all this storm business. Yesterday was the final day of the All Point West Festival, and with more rain bursting out of the dark sky, all bands scheduled to play before 4:30 p.m. were canceled. Fearless ticket holders who showed up were treated to sets by Coldplay, Ghostland Observatory, Silversun Pickups, Elbow, Echo & the Bunnymen, and more. The headliner, Coldplay, even performed songs by Michael Jackson (video) and the Beastie Boys (video). And between sets, the mud provided plenty of entertainment.

All in all the fest seemed to be better received by the audience this year, after organizers worked out some kinks. And there didn't seem to be many complaints about yesterday's weather-prompted schedule changes... after all, just look what happens when such precautions aren't taken.

Here are our previous APW recaps, of day one and two.
