Title: Bonnaroo Vid + Pics
Post by: TSarge on Jun 14, 2011, 10:25 PM
Finally made it back from Bonnaroo today - our RV broke down in Tennessee. Not a fun 16 hour wait for it to get fixed! The weekend was an incredible experience, and the amazing set by MMJ was the cherry on top. I have never seen a larger stage than the main stage at Bonnaroo. It is huge. Here is a picture from the side from the Grace Potter show earlier that day:

One of the best things about the main stage setup was that you could wait in line to get into the "pit" section in front of the crowd. I think its a great way for fans to get close to the bands they really want to see at the festival. You just get in line during the performance before the show you want to see (not bad because the line is in full view of the stage). Anyway, here are two of my buds on line for MMJ:

The show was amazing and the setlist was great. I knew I wanted to record one song so when they finished one I just turned on my phone before finding out what they were playing. Then I heard Holdin' start and I was glad that was the one I got. Enjoy:
