Jim James - Bonnaroo 2013 (Solo set!)

[Mahgeetah34]

Will the superjam contain any MMJ songs or will it be more along the lines of the Forecastle riverboat? I'm thinking we won't really see any MMJ stuff from Jim during Bonnaroo weekend

[oistheone]

It would not shock me to see Jim bust out some MMJ during his solo set -- perhaps some of the tunes the band were playing in encores during the early parts of the tour. During the SuperJam, it's anyone's guess what they'll play. I would guess no MMJ material. But SuperJams are MADE to surprise us!

The getting a spot for Paul McCartney doesn't really factor into my decision on this one.  It feels a bit like admitting to being a terrible, evil person or something, but the thought of seeing McCartney is just not that exciting to me.

I was on the fence until I saw the setlists Sir Paul has been playing recently. In his last show he played 5 Beatles songs that had never been performed live before. Here is his setlist...

I'm still torn. Without the McCartney factor I would be at Jim's show for sure. What to do...

Do you know which songs those are?

From the Spin article:

The selections range from an early Beatles number that John Lennon refused to play live to later material from when the band had become solely a studio outfit: "Eight Days a Week," "Your Mother Should Know," "All Together Now," "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!," and "Lovely Rita."

I don't have a horse in this race as I'm not going.  But it is fun reading everyone thinking out loud in regards  to their 'Roo dilemmas.  The entire day on Friday looks incredible, and I'm a bit jealous of those of you going.  I've seen Paul four times over the last many, many years, and it's pretty awesome to see him.  I imagine those Beatles songs with so many people watching in this environment would be pretty incredible.

I feel like the crowd for McCartney will be the biggest Bonnaroo has ever had. You gotta think that even the ARTISTS will have to plan a way to get a good spot for the show -- they ain't ALL gonna fit in those sidestage VIP areas!

On a side note, with a solo set on Friday, and the SuperJam late Saturday, Jim is going to be one of the few artists on the farm all weekend. This excites me. Does anyone think he could play a similar role to what John Paul Jones did in 2007, and do sit-ins all over the place? There are all sorts of sets he could be a part of, ranging from likely (PHJB) to hopeful (Calexico) to downright dreaming (Petty). Ahh, nothin' like specROOlation.

Ahhhh I still can not decipher between the Jim/Wilco/good spot for Paul debacle. I guess I will just do whatever I am feeling at the moment. Here is my hopeful schedule http://lineup.bonnaroo.com/yakeroo/schedule/2013/06/13

Also what day and time is everyone arriving? If anyone is coming in Wednesday, stop by the Waffle House off exit 114 http://www.fuse.tv/2013/05/fuse-news-waffle-house-bonnaroo
I do not think the schedule is out yet, but I am hoping Foals performs that day. Also, it is right across from one of our many liquor stores. Ha so you can stock up before entering Roo.

[itrainmonkeys]

It's a tough one but I'm planning on starting out at the Wilco set, and catching the second half of Jim after Wilco. May leave early...gotta see how good Wilco is playing. It sucks but I know I'm going to be close for the Superjam so I'll get my Jim fix that way. Also, considering I've seen two of the solo tour dates, will be seeing him again at Newport Folk Fest, and am attending the Roots/Jim James thing on Tuesday after Roo in NYC I figure I can miss the opening of his Roo show.

[danimal]

I love Wilco and I love MMJ.  Loved seeing Jim do his solo show.

That being said -

See Paul McCartney.  That's the most improtant thing happening, regardless of other scheduling.  The man is a seriously amazing performer.  That's your priority.

You're welcome.
