Here (http://www.jambase.com/festivals/bonnaroo)
I'm a little frustrated. Manu Chao, The Roots, AND the Black Keys at the same time on Friday and then Ben Harper, Franz Ferdinand, Spoon, and Ween conflict on Saturday. YIKES!
Still excited though. Who's going and what are your schedules looking like?
-
Go with the Roots. Manu Chao sounds the same after 3 songs and Black Keys are not very exciting musically.
-
I like the Bonnaroo setup. Any chance the Police will get a 2:30 set in Baltimore?
-
I guess my schedule will be something like this so far:
Thurs.-
Black Angels - The National - Clutch
Fri.-
Rx Bandits
Tortoise OR Brazilian Girls
Kings of Leon
(most of) The Roots + Manu Chao
Tool
Aesop Rock
STS9
Sat.-
RR Earth
Gogol Bordello
Ziggy Marley
Ben Harper + Franz Ferdinand
Police
Girl Talk, then Flaming Lips (2.5 hour set!!)
Sun.-
Some of Wolfmother, then Bob Weir + Ratdog
Decemberists + some of Wilco
White Stripes
Widespread Panic
-
i like that they don't schedule anyone against the big headliners. but widespread panic is closing out the festival? really? damn hippies... :) i would have swapped their spot with white stripes.
i'd say skip the roots, they play DC all the time, or divide your time equally between them and manu (unless you're seeing him at marriweather or some other stop of his summer tour). *some* of manu's song are same-y, and always fun energy. roots are indeed great, but easy to catch here in dc - they come through at least once if not twice a year.
hot chip vs. nightwatchman - now THAT's a dilemma. both were highlights of coachella for me.
couple of acts listed on the comedy/cafe page that might help fill time, like aziz ansari and the brazilian girls.
definitely neat that they schedule music until 3:00 in the morning... then again, that's the only time it's cool enough to actually enjoy yourself!

I'll place $100 right now on "FUCK NO". (I would love to be proved wrong, though.)

Not taking. But it would be an injustice to set them up with an hour-fifteen, as this is the only show in the DC-Balt area. Seth, please...make some time (drop like, I dunno...Incubus or somebody) and give everyone their money's worth.
-
Go with shadow over sts9.
Or hang out at sts9 for an hour since Aesop's set is only 45 minutes. You'll most likely be bored with sts9 by 2 anyway.
-
Interesting that there is still a "TBD" slot from midnight to 3 on Friday. I am praying it is filled by My Morning Jacket.
One conflict I have is Damien Rice vs. The Hold Steady. I haven't seen either one, does anyone have any advice. I'm thinking The Hold Steady might win.
-
damien rice at the lincoln theatre was one of my favorite shows last year. since you havent seen either, you might want to split your time, but then again, you could see damien rice tomorrow night at DAR and then see the entire set of the hold steady at bonnaroo!
if my morning jacket is there during that slot, i will be one happy camper

My Morning Jacket would be killer.
And oh man, I forgot all about The Hold Steady! I will definitely have to catch at least most of their set if I can.
-
My biggest conflict is probably Franz Ferdinand and Spoon. Saw spoon not too long ago at sonar and I thought they were just alright, so probably go with Franz there.
Mute Math is definitely worth checking out if you have time to fill. Saw them last year and they put on a great show. Listened to their cd when I returned, and wasn't too fond of it.

I would love to see My Morning Jacket again, but I'm betting that slot is the 'Superjam' they have every year.

the TBD slot has finally been announced.
SUPERJAM will fill in the 12-3am timeslot on Friday:
"Former Led Zeppelin bass player JOHN PAUL JONES will anchor a trio featuring one of music's most innovative modern bluesmen, guitar wizard BEN HARPER, and Roots drummer AHMIR "?UESTLOVE" THOMPSON."
Should be pretty interesting.

wow. now THIS i'd like to see... hopefully at&t will stream this set.
-
John Paul Jones was the special guest at Merlefest back in April or May, playing bluegrass with the Duhks.
-
?uestlove is going to be one busy drummer as he's also in the Philadelphia Experiment.... The record is a good listen, but I prefer the Detroit Experiment record that was done in a similar vein of bring local musicians from varying backgrounds together to record.

He's attended for a few years now. He's pretty good on the mandolin.

was that Richie Hawtin, Jack White and Eminem recording songs over Casey Kasem samples?? ;)
-
hmmm derrick may, jack white, any remaining living funk brother, and don mayberry working together could result in something interesting.]
The Detroit Expriment record has a similiar cast of characters to Carl Craig's Innerzone Orchestra project, a mixture of jazz and electronica musicians.
-
I liked both Philadelphia and Detroit experiment albums.

Um, the Police are headlining at V-fest and Bonnaroo...Why would they play at 2:30?
Anyway, do want to see Manu Chao, but the Roots are awesome, so your feedback helps with that decision. The comment about the heat is deadon. I missed several of the bigger bands I wanted to see last year, like Elvis, hello?, bec. it was so freakin' hot, and I had to have a shower before I could drag my ass into the festival after dancing into the wee hours.
If you know of anyone who wants to share gas expenses, I'm looking for a passenger or someone else to ride with next week and could leave Wed. afternoon/eve.
Thanks.
