Bonnaroo Roll Call

I'm not going this year, as I thought the lineup seemed kind of weak when it was first announced. Looking at the schedule today though, I'm sort of reconsidering my opinion–there's actually a pretty good number of bands I'd like to see, and some really good looking late night shows. Sunday is still totally worthless to me though, which I'll use a good excuse for staying home.

MMJ's late night set alone is reason enough to consider going. Though I don't think it could possibly compare to their late night in '06, I urge every who's going to make catching this show a priority.

Some of the set starting times are crazy. Someone going on at 3:15 am?

And Drive By Truckers got shafted with a 12:30pm Friday start time.

Is Obama against capitalism?

I'm so bored, I'm actually going to watch the Metallica set.


Les Claypool's antics are so old and tired.
So I'll probably get my boardie card revoked for this but…

This set is pretty fucking awesome so far. :o


Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ride the Lightning, Harvester of Sorrow, The Unforgiven
Ok nostalgia trip's over.
This Blue room…Does it archive the shows or only stream them?

No PJ tonight. ATT still mad they got caught censoring?
Seems to be only steaming. They may archive a song or two from select bands, but no full sets.

They archived it all last year didn't they, once it was finished?
ben gibbard's heel shuffle is pretty damn funny. he's trying way to hard to rock out, but at least he's trying.

earlier, my GF caught a few moment's of sigur ros' set. she said they sounded like the mating call of a blue whale, only slower :(
looks like kanye proved my "some people shouldn't be there" theory.

atleast that guy with the lsd didn't kill someone at bonnaboob, then he be out in five to ten.

wtf @ MIA annaouncing her 'retirement?'

http://www.nme.com/news/mia/37389

"While onstage at the Bonnaroo Festival over the weekend she announced: â??This is my last show, and I'm glad Iâ??m spending it with all my hippies.â?

According to the New York Times, she repeated that it was her last show three times, and said â??thanks for coming to my last gig,â? before leaving the stage. "

until recently, this type of news was referred to as "wishful thinking" in this household :p

or maybe she's going to pull a jay-z type of retirement… :roll:

Actually I saw him at Lolla a few years ago and he was definitely the highlight of the festival. I do have to say that if he plans to go on at 4 am at VF I would go just to see the pissed off crowd boo and throw horse sh-t at him.
Ok, so prior to writing my Bonnaroo review… let me say that although it was really really late. Most of us there were under the impression that it was generally Pearl Jams fault for playing forEVER that Kanye West was late.

They played for like 9 hours it seemed and although there was supposed to be 2 1/2 hours between PJ and KW's sets, they apparently needed every minute of that and a few more.

That said, I dont think anyone really cared about PJ playing late or KW delaying, ppl are too fucked up at Bonnaroo to care one way or another really.
