When I emailed B. Jones about his Montreal poster and confirmation that he was A. Man in Okonokos, a couple of months ago, he told me to look for this video.  Is it August already?

There's some really cool footage in there. The quality Bonnaroo shots are epic and some of the early visuals are cute and appealing... however I kinda feel the overall execution of this video is a bit of a mess... Anywho I'm not in the habit of being overly critical of my favourite band so I'll just shut up!

Cool to see that Lucifer's Peach bottle that they tweeted about a few months ago make its return!  And here I was thinking it was a real craft beer...

I wanna quickly follow up my post before I come across as too much of a hater:

In my opinion the video should have been either all clips of Tommy tripping out, or all epic live footage, but not both.  I just find the transitions between both sorta jerky and awkward.  I just prefer clean and consistent stuff is all.

I think Brandon Jones should stay in front of the camera.  Every show by any band could feature quick cuts of him in the crowd emoting and I would not grow tired of it!

 I like how they glorify GLOW STICKS, proving to all you old farts out there that glow stick wars are actually cool and the band DOES like them.  Eat some acid and go to Bonnaroo - you'll see.

I really liked that - including the "execution"  :P

Those pro-shot Bonnaroo shots were great - does that mean they might have the whole set on tape?!

glow sticks: nice to look at, not as nice to be pelted by.

Poor TTT. First they kill him and make steaks out of his ass for NYE one year, now he has some cracked out trip from a mickeyed drink. Way to take one for the team.

Awesome video! Does orange-eyed MMJ remind anyone else of the old Showbiz Pizza band from back in the day?
