It was a very warm and humid day in ATX as the second weekend of Austin City Limits Music Fest got started. Rain clouds threatened, but thankfully didn't deliver, as music fans rushed into Zilker Park. Many went straight for the American Express stage to get the perfect spot for viewing the highlight of the day, Sir Paul McCartney. Fortunately for those fans, many other incredible acts would perform before Sir Paul's set began at 7:30 PM.
