A Very Special Bonnaroo Link Dump

As the last of the cars and RVs pull out the dusty lots of Bonnaroo this morning, let’s take a look back at the weekend that seemed to have a number of fantastic epic highs and one monster low. We’ll break down the coverage from each day…

Thursday

• What Made Milwaukee Famous opened this year’s festival
• The Felice Brothers delivered a rowdy, rousing, boozy-set of Americana
• Vampire Weekend didn’t have to deal with any bad weather while entertaining the Bonnaroo crowd with their indie-Afro-pop
  
• WNEW caught Jeanne Garofalo’s performance at the comedy tent
• SF Weekly shares some terrific photos from Day One
  

Friday

• M.I.A. did show up, but claimed it was her last gig
• I haven’t watched many of the performances yet, but Glen Hansard’s reaction in the middle of Falling Slowly is what makes this festival great
• Kudos to The Weight for scooping SuperJam which turned out to be a tribute to Tom Waits
• By all accounts MMJ tore shit up for their late night set – check out this setlist! Can’t wait to download this set!
  

Saturday

• P4K has some amazing photos of Les Claypool, Sigur Ros and more
• B.B. King was given the key to the city of Manchester on stage
• The Olsen Twins celebrated their birthdays during Cat Power’s set
• As expected Pearl Jam delivered the goods with an over three hour set that featured the hits, rarities and covers
• Sigur Ros’ late-night set inspired Stereogum to give you 5 reasons you need to see them
• Kanye West hit the stage 15 minutes after his set was supposed to end (at roughly 4:30 AM) – much to the chagrin of the masses
  

Sunday

• Robert Randolph paid tribute to the late Bo Diddley with a rousing version of late bluesman’s signature tune
• Widespread Panic once again closed the weekend out with monster set, solidifying them as the “official” band of Bonnaroo
