and not to mention a "reunion" of another unit of mine.

should be sick.

>entire 3 days and MAKE SURE i had a spot for The Police

whoa.

yes.

yessir!

Sting moves to the background

somebody PLEASE tape this.

seriously dammit.

no way i can afford the trip to TN to see this myself, but somebody out there's GOTTA capture the audio for this and share it with poor junkies like me...

BTW ?uesto ya'll KILLED the 'I Can Understand It' cover was last night in Richmond...SICK. LOVED that shit!!

and am i dreamin or did ya'll rip into 'Machine Gun' too? or was it Voodoo Child?

i got kinda full of 'beverage' afterwards so i'm not remembering too clearly this morning, but got dayum I AM remembering that shit was FEIRCE...

Had a blast at the show, ya'll brought it as usual, thanks for hitting Richmond man!

I wish I could go, but some of my friends are going over there, so I'll just ask them for the info.

exactly, I ended up choosing rock the bells over bonnaroo so... I'm hoping that'll be very dope

I'm sorry to inform you, but I think that you may have made the wrong decision on that one.
3 days of incredible music vs. one day of incredible hip-hop.
(Disclaimer, I've been last year and will be returning to Bonnaroo again, and it's amazing.)

Or you can be like me and go to both! It's going to be expensive but those are my only two big trips for the Summer. And they are already paid for so now all I have to worry about is suffering in the heat!

You all are making me go broke this year. I've traveled too many times to see you all all ready this year. ha! *looks at credit card*

i'm hoping it's more than an hour

The Roots get 1 1/2 hours. Wish they were playing latenight for a 3-hour set!

I REALLY hope they play Dynamite. Been itching to hear that song live!

i really wanted to see The Black Keys, but i just can't ever pass up The Roots (even though i just saw them). also saturday latenight is gonna be insane with The Flaming Lips going up against an all-star line-up playing with Galactic.
only 3 more weeks!!

man, i wish i was going this year but i have bjork coming to austin city limits...

damn, talk about your double bookings between 12-3 on saturday.

- gov't mule
- Galactic w/ Quannum crew, 2na, and Boots Riley
- Philadelphia Experiment

looking at the schedule i think that would be a killer.

Yeah, this is going to be brutal. It looks like that Galactic show will be amazing though...

kinda glad i'm going so i wouldn't have to make the decisions between conflicts ..

i def would pass up the galactic line-up to see the flaming lips

>i really wanted to see The Black Keys

lolololololol

This is just announced for Friday latenight. Oh well, looks like I am going to miss the Def Jux crew:

Bonnaroo continues an annual tradition with an all-star SuperJam, starting at midnight on Friday, June 15. 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. The SuperJam is one of the most highly anticipated features of the festival, combining the talents of a diverse set of musicians for a one-time-only collaborative performance. Past participants have included Stewart Copeland, Herbie Hancock, Dr. John, Trey Anastasio, and many other musicians of the highest caliber - and if history is any indication, expect special guests to join the fun.

Since the break-up of Led Zeppelin in 1980, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jones has worked with bands including R.E.M. and the Foo Fighters. Harper's last album, "Both Sides of the Gun," debuted at Number Seven on the Billboard charts; Rolling Stone has called him a "natural-born superstar." In addition to his role as the heartbeat of hip-hop trailblazers the Roots, Thompson has played with and produced such artists as D'Angelo and Fiona Apple; at Bonnaroo, he will also be performing with his jazz-oriented group, The Philadelphia Experiment.

That announcement just made me pee my pants, I am so excited!

I will be there with the ill photo pass!

Photography is an uncensored voice,
open your eyes and listen..

that was most excellent ted.

whole "Jesus could never forgive you" bit

everyone cheering to those words

i know i know (its not his lyrics)

but it just dampened my excitement, hearing him go there (stinks too, because the performance of that song was so fantastic)...that was just more than i could accept

but once they came back with next movement, YES! i was back full throttle. and next movement was arranged ABSOLUTE FIRE

What are the chances that this performance is made available on youtube or something?

i watched it last night...the Roots kicked SERIOUS Heineken! shit was truly top notch

now i want to reply this for people and show them why the Roots are so sick live.

Anyone rip either the audio or even better video. I missed it as windows would'y let me download the license to make player work - plus it is like 4am in the morning when this was on in the UK.

Anyone help?

im all too familiar with their policies to go posting this shit here.

unless quest says its ok to post up, try the torrent sites if you really want it.

i think it'd be okay to post somekind of footage on here.

unless he says its ok, im not gonna step on his toes.

Somebody out there has posted decent video of MOW on their blog from friday, is it ok to link it?

missed the live stream last night, anyone have video of this?

hopefully a tape will get circulated... but if not, a treat like 2 years ago would be greeaaatly appreciated (like this http://www.therootslive.com/archive/show_062505.html)

thanks for the link.

any more of that Mos Def show?

Was it the whole show?

your impressions of the crowd response? playing with John Paul Jones vs. Pino? Ben Harper vs. Lionel?


I wonder how it must feel to play in front of all those people...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAU2xqWkyKU

that first part is clean. ?uest you hit about as hard as Stewart Copeland sometimes

someone's been practicing his "Stick Control"

that is what I like to call locked the fuck in

Effing Att. Effing WMP. I guess that's why I kept the machine dual-boot.

but did someone film the Roots performance? I found the ben harper and ?uest video on youtube but I'm still searching for The Roots actual performance. Why can't they just put it up on the website why do they do it live only?

Ben Harper just SLAYED Dazed and Confused w/ Special Guest John Paul Jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK

i saw it, but i wish we could see/hear the performance again!! id b willing to pay....it could be the long anticipated TRCA 2

There was only ONE taper at SuperJam.

Im praying he ups it.

correction: should be seeded this week!

they came on 8 minutes early!! while most other bands made us sweat in that blistering sun, coming on up to a half hour late.
that was some cool shit
