I checked the 49ers schedule for 2002-2005, and saw that there were home games on the same Sunday as the Castro Street Fair each year, so that seems to match. That would put it as October. The stadium is set up for football, so it is not a baseball game from pre-Pac Bell park days.

I did check to see if there were any events in the Castro during August 2002, but couldn’t find any listed. So I think keyhole.com is wrong.

The concert is at Speedway Meadow. I confirmed by looking at the GG Park map.

Assuming Tim is right above about it being pre-2/2004, I checked and confirmed that the Bluegrass Festival was on the same day as both the Castro Street Fair and a 49ers game for 2002 and 2003 at Speedway Meadow, so it seems that is the event. Likely Oct. 5, 2003 or Oct. 6, 2002.

I seem to remember hearing the satellite photos aren’t that old, so I cut of at 2002. If I am wrong about this, then it could be 2001 or before. I didn’t check.

Good find with the 49ers game. The pictures of San Francisco seem to be the only ones that are taken on a weekend.

For good measure, there’s a 49ers game going on down at Candlestick, so assuming all the pix are from the same day, that should help narrow it down.

This looks like Speedway Meadow, which is west of Transverse, so it could have been taken on a Sunday. (Cars are only disallowed on JFK blvd *east* of Transverse on Sundays.) Bluegrass Festival gets my vote.

There are cars in the park, so it wasn’t a Sunday.

Well, if it was taken the at the same time as the satellite image of the Castro (where you can see the Castro Street Fair going on) then that would be the annual Strictly Bluegrass Festival which happens the same weekend.

If the pic’s from August, 2002, I guess the above link are among the possible concerts there. Pretty groovy . . .
