Dude, you gotta give us some impressions on how the bands were. More specifically: Wilco, Primus, and Praxis.

First time I have seen Wilco and it was one of my favorite shows.

Praxis was considered by many to be the best show of the festival. People stood around for 30 minutes yelling for them to come back and they did. I don't think they planned on an encore before the crowd demanded it.

I caught the end of Primus becuase I was at the Ween tent. I think they played till about 4:30 due to starting late becuase of some huge downpours.

Primus Setlist:
To Defy the Laws of Tradition
American Life
The Toys Go Winding Down
Groundhog’s Day
My Friend Fats
Jerry was a Racecar Driver
Over the Electric Grapevine
De Anza Jig
Mr. Krinkle
YYZ
Those Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers
New song (LAD?) *
THELA HUN GINJEET *
Frizzle Fry *
Harold of the Rocks (I think?) *
Tommy the Cat *


* with Adrian Belew

Glad you made it through those storms we had! Looked like a great time. Did the traffic problems work themselves out. I know the state tried their best to clear the way for you guys.

We also had the Country Music Festival in Nashville this weekend. If you could find music to listen to around this area, you weren't looking.

Did you get any good pics?

Damn, first 2 deaths this weekend Bonaroo has very seen in it's history. Heat and Drugs.

I'm surprised more people than that did not die. It's impossible to describe the scene. It was absolutely lawless. They had mounted private security loosely patrolling the grounds but I saw no uniformed police the entire long weekend.
There were dealers who set up store fronts to sell drugs.

The music was top notch but the weather turned bad Saturday night with a huge downpour that made the entire grounds a muddy mess.

I brought my camera but never took it out.

 

[El Bastardo]

Did Praxis feature all of their original lineup? Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Brain, Bill Laswell, and Buckethead? Man, I wish I'd been there.

 

[chipshot]

Bootsy was not there, they had a dj play with them

Just like back in the day.


Glad you had a great time.

Primus played an excellant rendition of Rush's YYZ. Then Adrian Belew joinded them for about 5 or 6 songs. My memory is starting to come back to me.
