Bonnaroo 2014: Saturday
High Temp: 84°F Low Temp: 55°F
And I'm back, bright and early, in the booth. It's reverted back to the familiar hot days of Tennessee summer so we take it easy. When the Ben & Jerry's line gets down to nothing, we all take turns getting free ice cream. We get tons of visitors during the day. One women showed me a bag into which she had sewen a Bonnaroo map. Very cool.
Off to see some shows! And to get a skewer of bacon from Baconland which is, in fact, delicious. And to play in the Roochute. Parachute = lots fun plus a shade opportunity!
Cake - Such a great fit for Bonnaroo.
Setlist: Frank Sinatra; Love You Madly; Sheep Go to Heaven; Stickshifts and Safetybelts; Long Time; Mustache Man (Wasted); Sick of You; Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle; War Pigs (Black Sabbath cover) Never There; Short Skirt/Long Jacket; The Distance

Got to see them not to long ago in Florida (and at Bonnaroo before) and it was nice to see them on a much bigger stage. Very talented crew here, always impressive to watch.
Setlist: Shit Shots Count; Lookout Mountain; Get Downtown; Pauline Hawkins; Made Up English Oceans; Box of Spiders; Marry Me; Goode's Field Road; Primer Coat; Hell No, I Ain't Happy; Women Without Whiskey; Grand Canyon

John Butler Trio
Love JBT since seeing them back in 2010. The instrumental was precise and during one song the crowd clapped along in unison and the sound was deafening. It was so good, at one point, I wept.
Setlist: Cold Wind; Revolution; Used to Get High; Bullet Girl; I'd Do Anything; Only One; Hoe Down; Better Than; Attitude; Blame It On Me; Pickapart; Ocean; Fire in the Sky; Don't Wanna See Your Face; Devil Woman; How You Sleep at Night; Zebra; Encore: Losing You; Livin' in the City; Funky Tonight
Lionel Ritchie
Listen, I'm not fan of Lionel's really, but the guy was amazing. He was charming and incorporated the audience in his concert. When you were feeling down after a relationship issue and you grab your CD, your cassette, your 8-track and you call upon ... LIONEL RITCHIE. Plus, he ended his set with 'We Are The World' which he co-wrote with Michael Jackson. How can you not love that?
Setlist: All Around the World; Penny Lover; Easy; Ballerina Girl; You Are; Truly; Running With the Night; Still; Oh No; Stuck on You; Dancing on the Ceiling; Three Times a Lady; Sail On; Fancy Dancer; Sweet Love; Lady (You Bring Me Up); Just to be Close to You; Endless Love; Say You, Say Me; Brick House; Hello; All Night Long (All Night); Encore: We Are the World (U.S.A. for Africa cover)
Jack White
I've seen Jack each time he's played on the farm. (White Stripes 2007; The Raconteurs 2008; Dead Weather 2010) So I was eager to see this. He delivered a legendary set that covered all of his bands and ended triumphantly with a blistering version of Seven Nation Army. "I've got nothing better to do than rock and roll!" Jack White is my fucking hero.
Setlist: Icky Thump; High Ball Stepper; Lazaretto; Hotel Yorba; Temporary Ground; Missing Pieces; Steady, As She Goes; Top Yourself; I'm Slowly Turning Into You; Freedom at 21; Three Women; You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told); We're Going to Be Friends; Alone in My Home; Ball and Biscuit; The Lemon Song (Led Zeppelin cover) Encore: The Hardest Button to Button; Hello Operator; Pipeline; (The Chantays cover); Misirlou (Dick Dale cover); Sixteen Saltines; Cannon; Blue Blood Blues; Astro (First performance since 2007); Love Interruption; Little Bird; Seven Nation Army
The Flaming Lips and Frank Ocean are playing right now but I'm so flipping tired. Must sleep now.
