Funf unf un fest
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists won the festival.
I have to mention that Danzig was playing Friday with a bunch of hullaballoo about playing for two hours and doing selections from his entire catalogue and whatnot, but when time came to do it he said "It's too fucking cold, it's not good for my voice" and showed up 45 minutes late and then bitched when they kicked him off stage at 10 when the festival closes. So after a tremendous set on Sunday evening, Ted Leo says "It's too fucking cold," and then dashes off behind his amp and gets on a sleeveless teeshirt and a danzig wig and then does an awesome Danzig impression for 4 covers of Danzig shit. It was the only time I saw people running to a stage at the festival. I've heard of Ted Leo but I never listened to his stuff but man I absolutely loved all of it, and the pure entertainment of the finale was icing.
honestly didn't think i could enjoy myself doing something this much, i usually find something to bitch about but even really bad dust, a little rain, and sheer exhaustion it was all pretty much worth it. YA BOY Last edited by Trotskilicious : 11-07-2011 at 03:32 AM. |

oh i also saw this guy i thought was Death Grips but i think it was an accident or something i'm not sure what happened but what i saw was a man in his boxer briefs screaming incoherently and hitting a button on the floor to play really awful, jagged pre recorded hardcore tracks
at one point he started pointing at the sky line screaming LOOK OVER THERE LOOK OVER THERE nobody's looking he says it six more times and then the quote of the festival: "THAT'S A FUCKING PYRAMID!!!! ALL PYRAMIDS MUST BE DESTROYED!!!!!" |

Sounds like a pretty good festival. Ted Leo is always fun to see live. There was a festival here that because of rain got shoved into a college basketball arena so I went and saw him instead.

well you know some annoying crybabies and also 50 people? I fucking doubt it.
dust was bad on friday but it stopped being horrible on saturday and it was too damp and humid on sunday for it to really be a problem and if you have a bandana it's really not a big deal #firstworldproblems P U N K R O C K F O R E V E R i complain about shit all the time and the fun of the venue, and the quality and variety of the entertainment, and the cool weather/breeze, and the magnificence of the setting of Auditorium shores at the foot of the skyline outweighed any problems with dust by a significant degree and i'd rather it be dusty than muddy Last edited by Trotskilicious : 11-07-2011 at 08:47 PM. |

logistically it's an issue because of the time off from work
it's easier for me to just take two or three days off work and go to SXSW in the spring and do FFF in the fall I think Bonnaroo is too big for me to actually enjoy, that's why I liked FFF. It was small enough at certain events to make it feel like intimate shows, akin to SXSW which is kind of the opposite, being SO BIG and SO CONFUSING that many shows are kind of small and cool, like the J. Masics, Wild Flag and Dum Dum Girls stuff I saw last march i was up fairly close for Ted Leo, even though the crowd on the terrace behind me was still pretty thick |

Bonnaroo is actually a great mix of massive shows and small shows. The problems are more that there are so many great bands playing at once that it is impossible to see everything that you want to.

i was supposed to see wild flag there but since they suddenly closed it after ACL Fest they moved it to la zona rosa which sucks and should go away (even though it does have great sound, it can't save the relic warehouse of a venue) and when i realized it was Halloween weekend i was just like "fuck it"

i scored there so i don't hate it that much
it would be improved if it had exit routes to the bar/outside on both sides of the stage but it only has the one and the sound is pretty solid, i saw Warpaint and the Kills there and they both sounded tremendous. |
