Bonnaroo: Day 4

Lt. Dan's advice for the 2008 Bonnaroo fans. Important advice that people don't normally get until their pictures are developed.



Cat Power



Broken Social Scene plays Cause Equals Time on the solar power stage.



Every wanted to become a DJ? Well maybe Bonnaroo is not the best place to learn how to scratch. If you want to try your luck though, head over to the scratch tent.



The individuals that could cut it as a DJ, might have a better chance at being rock stars. Backstage, they actually had the video game Rock Star, set up out of someones car.

Brian Posehn makes fun of Kayne West in his set. I believe that after the Bonnaroo, no one likes Kayne West.

Mooorrrre Photos!

Rogue Wave loves their fans, and they loved them just as much...


Robert Randolph put on one of the most fun shows of the festival....



Not a bad person to have as a special guest... Legendary producer/performer T-Bone Burnett stopped for a song or 2...



Broken Social Scene = Outstanding


O.A.R. jamming a little bit...

When all the shows are done, there still is always something fun to do late night at Bonnaroo.



Chromeo



Already feeling the Bonnaroo drain, I still decided to make it out to Kayne West late night show. Kayne pushed his show back to 2:45 a.m. to be able to play on the main stage. The fans waited around until 4:30 to start his set which went long into the morning. Walking back to my campsite, the sun started to rise in the distance. Damn you Kayne West.

Bonnaroo: Day 2

The second day of the Bonnaroo music festival was kicked off with full line up of great shows. The cloudy sky provided a perfect haven for music fans and artist a like. Even with perfect weather you still need to be careful at Bonnaroo. Check out this advice from Justin Hammel from WRLT.




Minus the Bear



Have you ever wonder what a drum circle is like? This would be the first year to see an official Bonnaroo.



The Raconteurs



Clean Vibes is a none profit organization that have cleaned up Bonnaroo and other festivals for the last 7 years.



MIA last show ever. MIA canceled the rest of her shows and has announced that she will be retiring after her Bonnaroo show. I am happy to say that I danced next to MIA during the MSTRKRFT set, but my batteries die and was unable to take a picture.




Do hippies vote? Hand Count is a none profit organization that is trying to make sure that all fans voices are heard.

Bonnaroo: Day 1


The 2008 Bonnaroo music festival kicked off Thursday night with probably the best line up they have every had on the first night. Even with only selling around 55,000 tickets this year for the Bonnaroo event, "This Tent" was packed for these opening indie shows. The night started off with MGMT playing to be one the first sets at Bonnaroo. After an energizing set by MGMT brought people to the stage, more Bonnaroo fans flocked the stage for Battles. Battles were probably my main reason for wanting to do Bonnaroo coverage in 90 degree weather. They definitely proved to be worth the sweat. The last show I was able to make it to that night would be Vampire Weekend. Their happy vibes put me in the perfect mood to pass out my campsite.

Wondering how people make it though these four days at Bonnaroo? Here is an example of how people stay cool, not clean at Bonnaroo. The Bonnaroo fountain was closed for most of Thursday, but was later opened for the late night sweaty fans.






If you have every been a part of the Bonnaroo experience, then you are probably seen the rangers on horses wandering around. Here is some advice from the Bonnaroo rangers themselves.
