Any Word on the 2008 DVD?

We should all get the 2009 DVD for free to make up for their ineptitude.

THE DVD IS GONNA RULE ASS AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN HAZ DO ABOUT IT... KTHXBYE!

Any reason for this? I got it for Christmas for someone who couldnt make it to roo because they were ill. Bonnaroo pretty much screwed that gift up. Not only that there ineptitude of handling of this screwup is irrational.

a great christmas gift... to myself...

Okay, now? I'm kind of pissed. From the latest official Bonnaroo email (online posting here: www.bonnaroo.com/news/2009/01/07/bonnaroo-introduces-bonnaroo-365.aspx)

We are excited to introduce Bonnaroo 365, a program by which fans can relive the Bonnaroo experience year round! Select performances will be streamed periodically at no charge on bonnaroo.com. All performance footage will be taken directly from the festival’s exclusive master tapes while the audio will be remixed from Bonnaroo's pristine soundboard recordings.

The first installment of the program begins on January 11th, 2009 with The Raconteurs...

So, we basically should have all saved our money and waited for free access available before we receive the DVD we ordered last year?!

I gotta say I feel a little shafted.

nope - does not make for happy Roosters

dude that's 10 extra grilled cheeses you could've had!

Hmmm, well atleast this gives me time to find a DVD player

Every time I see that this thread has a new post I get excited that someone might have received their dvd! But..... to no avail....

After several attempts, I finally got an e-mail back from them:

Dear Mr. Detective,

We sincerely apologize for the delay in sending out the Bonnaroo 2008 Commemorative DVD. Although we initially anticipated that the DVD would be ready to ship by mid-December, some unforeseen issues have prolonged the DVD's release. The shipping date has been pushed back at the request of Kanye West. Initially, the DVD was set to ship in the late afternoon of December 13th. However, upon learning this, Mr. West demanded that we change the release date in order to concur with release of his new documentary, "Fake Ass Rappers and the Kiddies who Love Them" (co-produced by Jerry Springer). Always willing to comply with the demands of a prima donna pop-star, we gave-in to Kanye's request. As a result, the DVD release date was pushed to the middle of the night, December 22nd. However, upon viewing the completed footage, Mr. West complained that our cameras made his face looked too fat and that, "YO THAT DVD AIN'T REPPIN MY LIGHT SHOWS DOLPHIN BUTT!!" Thus, at Mr. West's request, we have been extensively retouching the DVD to make Kanye's face appear thinner; as well as adjusting the brightness/contrast, in order to make it appear as if Kanye's performance actually occurred in the dark. We then overdubbed all the original audio to include new remixes of Kanye's songs that he made, drunk, in his basement at 1 am with Little Wayne.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the delay, and firmly believe that Kanye will be happy with the final product.

Sincerely,

Jane
Bonnaroo Relations

Well done, sir.

Oh BD - that was priceless! +1
