The Superjam at Bonnaroo has been a staple since the inaugural edition of the festie in 2002. Typically, it was a bit of an after-thought with a hodge-podge of musicians who happened to stick around until Sunday jamming together with varied results. It wasn’t until 2006, when Superfly threw down the gauntlet with the mysterious inclusion of the first ever late-night Superjam, that it turned into one of the most anticipated sets of the weekend.
The band that took the stage that night included Ernie, Cactus and The Duo, who would later be joined by Phil Lesh, for a set that included songs from their respective catalogs. Here they are ripping up Going Down The Road Feeling Bad…

Sure it took two members of Phish debuting the band that would be forever know as G.R.A.B. with a sit-in by the Crypt Keeper to take things to another level, but hell, Superfly upped the ante last year with a set full of Zeppelin covers – with an actual member of Zep. No details for this year’s Superjam have been revealed, but our trusty friends from The Weight seem to think it’s a set full of Tom Waits covers.
