I've been meaning to do this for a while, so hear goes...
If you are looking to kick off Bonnaroo with a great vibe that stay with you for the rest of the weekend, then you need to go see these guys start it off Thursday evening.

Finally, like I’ve already mentioned, these dudes kill live. This is an older show and one of the first handful of times I saw them, but if you don’t get psyched watching the beginning of this show then I’m not sure what to say. The first song is called No Crime…
