Bonnaroo Set Times.......

[Deviate_420]

Have been released and I cant make up my mind if they are really good or suck. Anyway heres the link.

http://www.bonnaroo.com/2007/schedule-0615.html

[breakjaw]

I'd go to This Tent on Friday and The Other Tent on Sunday.Also don't miss Gogol Bordello on Saturday.

[bartelby]

the Spoon, Ween, Franz conflict would suck...i think i got that right

otherwise it would be fun to see the Lips play for 2.5 hours

[Deviate_420]

I don't like that I'm not going to be having to face any real conflicts.. I think I hate the set times....

[canexplain]

yea i think that is the biggest conflict for me on this little trip ... cr****

[bmack86]

White Stripes vs. Ornette Coleman would be a nigh-impossible decision

[Deviate_420]

White Stripes vs. Ornette Coleman would be a nigh-impossible decision

I would pick Ornette Coleman, just because I know I will see the White Stripes at least twice before the year is done......

[TomAz]

Flaming lips from midnight to 2:30 am. man I bet that's gonna be a trip.

[Deviate_420]

So do you guys like Coachella schedules or Bonnaroos?

[TomAz]

I prefer Coachella's myself. Bonnaroo spreads the same # of acts over more time. that ties in fine with almost everyone camping, and in/out permitted; you can go back and take a nap in the middle of the afternoon. since i don't camp it just made for really long days for me.

[psychic friend]

aren't those 2 different festivals? wait, im confused.

if only coachella was like that..... sadness

[amyzzz]

Coachella is not completely focussed on the campers (not enough room for everyone to camp or whatever).

[canexplain]

i generally like the bands better at coachella then the roo .. i like the roo better though for an overall experience ... after 4 days at coachella i just feel i had a great time, after 4 days at bonnaroo, its like i just conquered the world or something and survived .... like said many times before , apples and oranges, but alas they are music festivals so there is Commonality ... cr****

[noisemachine]

I never realized how long they let everyone play for. And how spread out the acts on each stage are. Yea, seeing the Lips from 12-230 AM would be pretty awesome.

[Deviate_420]

I like Coachella"s more. I like staying up all night 2 nights before agonizing over set times. I like PF shutting down the message board while she gets the set times uploaded. I like how Coachella feels more like a music fans festival, I mean come on, do you think anyone talks about a band that has played the festival over a year ago like we talk about Daft Punk (Except for maybe Radiohead)? I dont know maybe Bonnaroo just seems more......more..... unpersonal, more like it was made to satisfy the masses and not just the music fans. OK thats my rant for the day.......

last year Bright Eyes ended their set and Conor was like, oh, we have another half hour, we need to figure out what to do. He really seemed surprised and unprepared. but then he brought Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and Jim James onstage so maybe he was just pretending. He wears Prada suits now so there's no telling about him.

i think you are mostly right ... coachella is about the music ... bonnaroo is about life (sounds trite sorry) ... disneyland=coachella .... the bataan death march=bonnaroo ... luv em both ... cr****

[schoolofruckus]

Are you fucking serious? The Lips and Tool don't even play for 2.5 hours on their headlining gigs (the past couple years, at least). That alone would be worth the trip.

Son of a bitch. I bet Bonnaroo gets "Third Eye" or "The Grudge" or "No Quarter" or something epic.

[brando4n82]

the only thing Bonaroo has to offer is WEEN. they need to get their asses to the west coast. oh and Girl Talk, but I can wait til september for that

[Deviate_420]

I bet they only get Merkaba and maybe Salival pushit.

[caco0283]

ONLY???

[orbit]

They got Galactic

[mountmccabe]

Two and a half hours of the Flips? Damn. They might even get through ten songs. Y'all'd've complain about it for me cause I'd be at Galactic.

Thursday
No problems for this short day. And three fantastic live bands.

Friday
Gillian vs Hot Chip would be tough for me. I mean to say it would be tough missing Hot Chip again. The Black Keys vs the Roots would be unfortunate. Aesop followed by El-P would be bad ass, though.

Saturday
Wow. I don't know that I'd go on Saturday. I mean, sure, Regina. The Hold Steady would be worth seeing. I'm having a hard time caring about the Police playing now a days but I guess I'd be there by default while waiting for Galactic. Or sleeping. And as much as I seem to hate on the Flips I do like them and wouldn't mind seeing them live again.

Sunday
The Decemberists would lose to Martha Wainwright like they lost to Andrew Bird. That's not good. The partial Wilco/Feist overlap is bad.


I'm sure this fest'd be a great time but there'd be fewer acts I wanted to see than for any Coachella since 2001. And that's only cause that was a one day thing.

[Deviate_420]

ONLY???

I have seen both of those songs live before, the only Tool song that would get my panties all bunched up is No Quarter...

[TomAz]

is that a cover of LZ's song? or a different song with the same name?

[mountmccabe]

It is a cover, Tom.

It was a good choice for them, too. It's a rather faithful cover; a little heavier and darker and spacy.

It was on Salival.

[TomAz]

that song is really slow. i didn't know tool did slow songs.

check this out, this is the reason you "might" want to catch the Police even if you were on the fence to see them (I know you arent going anyway)

I have to say I would love to see this set live but im sure there will be video.

[Deviate_420]

Tool songs are slow they just play really heavy so it sounds like its fast.

[mountmccabe]

you didn't mention Hot Tuna, maybe you didn't see them listed.

Yeah, that must be the explanation.


Yeah, Ron, if I were going I would probably check out the Police rather than sleep. But I still wouldn't be excited about it. This, for me, would make it more likely that I'd enjoy them. I'm backwards like that.

Have tons of fun, man.

[mountmccabe]

Tool songs are slow they just play really heavy so it sounds like its fast.

This is accurate.

I mean they have a few fast songs but they are far more Pink Floyd thank punk. They're just heavy. And dark. And angry. And loud.

[ThunderInTheSky]

Wow I didnt realize you could fuck up a festival so bad, there is too much time between bands and all the bands play at the same time instead of spreading it out and not having much downtime. They fucked up. Too many good bands who draw the same crowds playing at the same time. I am glad I went to Coachella and not that bullshit

[suprefan]

DOUBLE KICK PEDAL!!!



Yeah there are some overlaps but nothing to get headaches over in my eyes for Bonnaroo. 2 and half hours of Tool is just not fair. I would be happy if they would normally do 2 hours on their own but they do what 90 mins tops? And of course Widespread gets 3 hours, I bet you they even go over, gotta have the jam band close out right? Obviously its cool that the headliner gets a "silent" slot but that just makes conflicts earlier in the day be unavoidable. If they didnt do that some stuff would be spread out a little more and more likely to be conflict free.

[canexplain]

i do agree with a lot of good bands play the same slots, but as far as space inbetween bands, that is when we can LEAVE THE VENUE, and go back to our camps and relax so we can stay up all night .... and to party of course ... cr****

[crazzz2007]

Manu Chao, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Hot Chip

wow, i didn't see this when i posted my picks.

[rage patton]

The bands play for so freaking long! It seems like there would be a lot less rushing around at Bonnaroo. At the same time, that was half the fun of Coachella. Deciding who to see, and walking from stage to stage, you experience more that way, I would think anyways. I have never been to Bonnaroo. Also, I dont like how they named their stages and tents. Sure, it might be funny. But it seems kind of uncreative and confusing to me.
I am almost tempted to go, just to see Rodrigo y Gabriela play for an hour and half. Tool for 2 and half hours will also be amazing. Gogol Bordello are playing surprisingly early in the afternoon. If they would have played at that time at Coachella, I would be have been dead tired for the rest of the day, but it would have been worth it! If you going to Bonnaroo and missed Gogol at Coachella, do NOT miss Gogol Bordello this time. Oh, conflicting with Regina Spektor? That is a harsh conflict. Either way, I still say go see Gogol Bordello.

[canexplain]

tnx for the advice guys ... hot chip is my biggest conflict of unknowns
hot chip vs gillian welch (they are up against KOL which i have seen a number of times and the watchman which i can catch at wakarusa ....

wilco vs feist is hard ... seen wilco a bunch and i like them but saw feist on tv and they look interesting ....

regina spektor vs gigol bordello is the other hard one .. never seen either ..

and btw, we are hoping for a 3+ hour show from Tool not a measly 2 1/2 :)

I'll wholeheartedly agree with the folks that say Rodrigo y Gabriela are not to be missed. Check YouTube for video from their Coachella set if you are not convinced.

Gillian Welch was my favorite set of the weekend. Hot Chip would be fun but Gillian and David were just stunning. Beautiful music and they amused me endlessly.

I've heard very good things about Feist live. Wilco are a great band but I'm guessing that their latest album - though I like it - will not add wonder and joy to their setlist.

I loved Regina at Coachella. I dismissed Gogol Bordello after a few YouTubes so I'm not the one to ask on that matchup.


From the rest of your list the Black Keys play a blistering live set full of energy and fire. Highly recommended.

I have loved the Decemberists in the past; at Coachella they focused on a few long songs and setpieces (I missed them) which may not be their strength (yet) but I wouldn't ignore them.

I think my friends saw the Nightwatchmen and found them terrible. Or maybe I'm just thinking of listening to some of the album on the way over and my reaction to it.

I just noticed that... There's something defintely wrong with having Gogol play at 2pm...

[Boourns]

Son of a bitch. I bet Bonnaroo gets "Third Eye" or "The Grudge" or "No Quarter" or something epic.

Dude, don't say that. If they play "No Quarter" or the Salival "Pushit", I'll probably die. I can't imagine how many hippie jokes Maynard will make.

Considering how the number of good acts is a bit limited because of all the jam bands and oldies crap, they really should not be constantly scheduling same-audience bands against each other. If I were going:
Thursday:
The National
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Friday:
Cold War Kids
Tortoise
Hot Chip
The Roots
Tool
DJ Shadow (if still awake)
Saturday:
Gogol Bordello
Ween (half)
Franz Ferdinand
The Police
Flaming Lips
Sunday:
Decemberists
Feist
White Stripes

Not bad, actually. Well, a bunch of those bands are chosen by default and I'm only slightly curious about. Sunday is really weak. But last year there were maybe one or two bands I wanted to see playing Sunday, but not as much as those three.

[suprefan]

I just noticed that... There's something defintely wrong with having Gogol play at 2pm...

Yeah there is, I think they got a great slot on Friday because it was one of those "the best performance you never saw" kind of deals because everyone was watching Bjork.

[higgybaby23]

Gogol will put on a high energy show regardless of their set time. I think Eugene
and crew could rock an 8am spot just as easily as 10-12pm. I have seen GB numerous times, and each show maintained their signature gypsy/punk energy.

[Boourns]

Gogol Bordello = worst album cover of the year, in a year where almost everyone released a shitty album cover

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/frankatcoachella/GOGOLBORDELLO.jpg

[rideincircles]

THe Girl Talk, Flaming Lips, and Galactic set time sucks ass. The flaming Lips will be awesome and so will Galactic. i think I will have to skip Girl Talk since i saw the whole set at Coachella and missed Justice. I need to do some more research on some other bands. THe other two overlaps that suck are Manu chao The Roots and the Black Keys, and Ben Harper Keller Williams and Ween. I am undecided on those, and i really want to see ben harper and keller williams. i am leaning toward Manu Chao, but may just walk around on that one. Bonnaroo is going to be crazy. I will be getting as close as I can for Gogol Bordello and rodrigo Y Gabriela.

Brazilian girls


The black keys
Hot chip
Fountains of Wayne



Rodrigo y Gabriela
Of the ones I caught (or caught part of,anyway) I'd recommend these.If you go to Lily Allen,maybe local celebrities will be there like at Coachella.Hello Dolly!

[breakjaw]

Fountains of Wayne was pretty good and fun.
Hey,Tom,wasn't it cool that we sorta expected them to play mostly new stuff,and they didn't.I'm with you on this one.I was gonna see 'em no matter what,and was very pleasantly surprised at how good they were.Them and Arctic Monkeys.

[menikmati]

The lips played 2 1/2 hours last time they played Bonnaroo...there's a few bootlegs of it...you guys should check it out, its cool. And 2 1/2 hours of Tool will be epic....maybe they'll play Reflection.

[gmoneyak]

Yeah there is, I think they got a great slot on Friday because it was one of those "the best performance you never saw" kind of deals because everyone was watching Bjork.

You would just think any band with a reputation for putting on awesome live shows would get a late night slot...

Saving them for the jam bands... ONE year I'll check out Bonnaroo..

[i_like_cake530]

I never realized how long they let everyone play for. And how spread out the acts on each stage are. Yea, seeing the Lips from 12-230 AM would be pretty awesome.

one problem, GOv't mule is playing at the same time, i guess i'd catch half of each.

[thelastgreatman]

2.5 hours of Tool is just...

I'm fucking pissed. I'm so pissed. Fuck those hippie bastards for getting the longest Tool set EVER, I think.

[bartelby]

2.5 hours of Tool would, indeed, RULE....

[Deviate_420]

2.5 hours of Phish would rule......Wide spreed Panic plays for almost 4 hours. You how much weed my body would have to inhale to sit through 4 hours of WSP..

[thelastgreatman]

Dude... please don't tell me you just invoked Phish. We might not be able to go to AF together on Tuesday now.

[Boourns]

2.5 hours would be amazing, especially if they did no more than a few songs from 10,000 Days

[Deviate_420]

Dude... please don't tell me you just invoked Phish. We might not be able to go to AF together on Tuesday now.

The first time I smoked weed was to a Phish album so they will always have a place in my heart..... Phish is cooler then Arcade Fire...

Gogol Bordello = worst album cover of the year, in a year where almost everyone released a shitty album cover

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/frankatcoachella/GOGOLBORDELLO.jpg

I would actually vote that album cover of the year.
They actually played a couple bucket solos at the show, so that album cover makes me happy. Its a great representation of their live show. (I think he also wore those pants at Coachella.)

I loved Regina at Coachella. I dismissed Gogol Bordello after a few YouTubes so I'm not the one to ask on that matchup.


The youtube videos dont do justice for Gogol Bordello. Mainly because the video quality is so crappy. You have to be a Gogol show, to know what its all about. I heard their shows were crazy and fun, and I saw videos, and they looked crazy and fun... but actually seeing them, blew my mind. The lead singer and one of the girls went crowd surfing on a bass drum! The security guards were freaking out the whole time as well, wondering what to do. It was so much fun.
With that being said, my girlfriend saw Regina Spektor and said she was amazing. (I was at Roky Erickson.) Most people I talked too, said Regina was amazing. However, she also saw Gogol. I told her abour the Gogol vs. Regina conflict and Bonnaroo, and she said she would choose Gogol Bordello... easily.
In short, if you wanna chill and just listen to some music. Regina is your girl. If you want to have a blast and see one the most memorable, fun and insane live shows you have ever seen, go check out the Gogol Bordello.
I could go on and on praising their show, and their showmanship... but I think all of you who didnt see them, get the point. And all who saw them, know exactly what I am talking about.

[disgustipated]

El-P is always really good

Bullshit!!!

his keyboard player was good though...

[bartelby]

Gillian Welch was awesome.

Decemberists bored me (and I'm a fan)

Fountains of Wayne was pretty good and fun.

i know i'm a couple of days late on this but i've gotta agree with tom - the Decemberists bored the shit out of me at Coachella and I was highly anticipating their set this year....

[gmoneyak]

El-P is always really good

Bullshit!!!

his keyboard player was good though...


Yeah...I defintely wasn't feelin' EL-P at Coachella either... Pretty mediocre..

[Boourns]

Tool's setlist:
Jambi
Stinkfist
The Pot
46&2
Schism (extended)
Rosetta Stoned
Flood
Wings For Marie
10,000 Days
Lateralus - with Tom Morello
Vicarious
Aenema

Meh. Except for Lateralus with Tom Morello...that must have been sweet. I wonder why they always play Stinkfist and 46&2 instead of mixing it up with the occasional H. or Sober or Opiate anymore.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Was that the great/epic set that LGM was going on for weeks about?

yeah, a little dissapointed that Tool didn't mix it up that much...would of been nice if they played Reflection, or The Patient but eh, it's Tool, and that's still a solid set. Can't wait for the recordings to surface.

Maynard did have a few good comments from what I hear, one of which was something like "I took a shower this morning. With soap, hair conditioner. Jealous?"

Also, Tortoise's set is available on etree already, its pretty good.

I don't know what etree is, but do you happen to know Tortoise's setlist? I am seeing the on Thursday and would love to get an idea as to what they will play.
