As San Francisco's Golden Gate park rocked out for the final night of the annual Outside Lands Music Festival last night, Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard of
Dead Can Dance (DCD) held court across the bay at Berkeley's Greek Theater and wowed the nearly sold out crowd for over 2 hours with their ethereal hymns and tribal soundscapes.

Dipping back through their catalog of material spanning nearly 30 years, Lisa and Brendan took turns at the mic showcasing their respective vocal capabilities before launching into several duets that blew away the audience. By the end of the night, the aisles on the floor of the Greek were alive with the crowd dancing to the beats.
