having already seen him a couple times, i'm not keen on seeing kanye at all, so outkast would have been much preferred. but with outkast doing 40whatever other fests this year, i'll hope they do the local soundset hip-hop fest over memorial day weekend (on whatever day they're not at sasquatch), which would be a more enjoyable venue for me to see them at than roo.

Kanye is amazing live performer.


I figured his reputation at Bonnaroo was forever tarnished since back in 07 or 08 he had a 1 am show or something that kept getting delayed and pushed back until like 6 in the morning and he was booed throughout the performance because of it.

i, too, am surprised by his (assumed) return. but it was 6 years ago, so...

the 08 show was supposed be at 8 on the which stage but got moved to the what stage at 2am after kanye had a hissy fit about not being on the main stage. pearl jam ran long that night, which pushed it back another hour, and then kanye took his sweet ass time getting out there, eventually starting around 4:30 when the sun was starting to rise. he was performing in full daylight by the time he was done with his 'glow in the dark' show. the crowd was happy at 2:30. they weren't happy at 4:30. and the field was maybe a 1/4 full at 6:30.

shitty deal, for the most part. but only at bonnaroo can you see kanye west performing in a farm field at 6 in the morning.

i've seen kanye at lolla and roo, and i don't feel i need to see him again.

Animal Collective was extremely disappointing when I saw them at Bonnaroo in 2009. I was so psyched to finally see them live but they were a huge letdown. I think the main problem was that they were performing right in the middle of the hottest day there where it was too hot to do anything but sit in whatever shade you could find. I feel like they would be a much better late night set.

i read that whole thing, and while i was laughing the whole time, those concerns are 100% legitimate.

if you're headlining, and you don't go on till 6 am because of bullshit that could be completely averted due to incompetant promoters, then yeah, that is reason to be pissed off.

this though

kanye just has a terrible time of communicating himself to be honest, he could help himself by not getting all emotional and shouting but then again that's the man he is -- problem is so many disrespect him and don't take his passion for music seriously, like he's just throwing some shit together. i dunno. when he says he wanted his fans to experience stronger and he struggled with just the stage presentation for so long...i believe him. he's much much much more meticulous than the general public gives him credit for

at least the reason wasn't because it was "too cold" outside and your french onion soup wasn't hot enough and you were tired and you had a cold waahh i'm danzig "where's my french onion soup already?"

On the topic of Kanye live though I've seen him twice and he was great both times. First time was when he was a surprise guest with the rest of GOOD Music during Jay Z's set. I was expecting Kanye to be a surprise guest ever since the festival was announced but I never expected the rest of GOOD Music. They did like a hour long set before Jay Z came back out to end the night with Kanye performing Niggas in Paris. That whole set with Jay Z coming out for the first hour was amazing. I think it might be the only time Mercy has been performed live and I was right up close to the stage.

Saw him again on his solo tour with Kenderick Lamar this past November. Dropped the money for the floor tickets and it was easily worth it as we got right up on the stage and it was an unreal show with the high production of it. Took some good pictures from that. I don't know how he will pull it off on a festival stage, not really big enough but I'm sure he will think of something.

i forgot to add- kanye also performed unannounced in atlanta earlier that night for young jeezy's birthday show or something like that. so he wasn't even at the festival when pearl jam concluded (late). i'm sure it doesn't take too long to get to roo from atlanta, maybe 45 minutes, but considering the problems kanye outlined, one would think he'd want to be there to figure shit out if it was that important to him.

i'm sure some blame can be passed around to everyone involved but it's hard to take kanye's complaints seriously when the festival hasn't ever had these types of issues before or since and kanye himself couldn't be bothered to arrive until an hour or two before he was supposed to go on.

but the whole thing did yield the wonderful "squid brains" epithet so at least there's that.

yes. plus, michael winslow doing 'you can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!', among other things, to introduce them.




i remember walking away from the 09 set thinking that was one of the worst shows i'd ever seen. it probably wasn't, but it sucked at the time.

I think we left after three songs in 2009 for St Vincent. I do remember David Byrne dropping one of the best shows I've seen in my entire life later that night

I hate how music festivals have become the way to tour. I usually go to Forecastle in Louisville every year and Masters Musician's in Somerset, Kentucky, but in general I think its a shitty way to see live music.
