I'm OK with the tracks, but I can't help wishing there was a lot more. The previous DVD's had twice as many bands. I hope there is a lot of extra footage and interviews to make up for the short tracklist.
it seems pretty bunk to me. I mean seriously where is MGMT, Biscuits, MSTRKRFT, Tiesto, umm PHIL LESH!!!!, Sigur Ros!!, MIA!!. I mean its like they said "hey!, lets not show anyone any of the high energy fun sets." whatever tho I don't really care since I didnt go and I didnt buy the dvd but I was still looking forward to some nice footage. Honestly tho I would like someone at superfly to explain to me how bands like Against Me, and Tegan and Sarah get put on the dvd over any of the artists I mentioned above.

You ask 10 different people what their 16 favorite shows were and you're going to be 16 different answers. I personally could care less about Biscuits, MIA!! and Phil Lesh. It's completely subjective, so there's really not much point in bitching about it. The acts they chose and are ALL awesome to some people...
"We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five. "
Just having a bitchy day - figured I would see if I could scare anyone today - LOL
but seriously - can we make some more threads that are really redundent - I wanna start another Led Zeppelin Thread or how about another Phish Thread - or wait - how about a Bonnaroo sucks thread - we know Keith would chime in on that one. (J/k - well kinda)

yeah, but I don't care about those people and there is a point to bitching about it, it gets it off my chest.
dont you know your not allowed to complain or have any negative opinions about roo on inforoo? god forbid we all dont think its a quacking perfect festival where nothin can go wrong. *VENT* GRRRR
and all that stuff is probably not on the DVD because the bands probably didnt allow for the licensing or something... maybe.

never mind - it's not worth it - because everyone will keep bitching and griping and complaining.
I am going to Bonnaroo this year for my 4th year and I am gonna have one hulluva good time no matter what the "vibe" is - who is playing or what goes wrong - because I will be with my friends and I will be on vacation.

Dont plan on getting this. Could of had a better MMJ song like gideon or something like that or better just have the whole 2 sets. I deff agree that bisco should have been on there and if you were there for ne of it at all you would know why but like becca said they prolly didnt have permisson . I just dont see how some1 like tegan and sara and Against me are on there. so basically i agree w/ everything lakai said. Glad i didnt give nemore of my money to superfly.

this....and damn they left off some ammmmaaaazing footage, i, personally think they blew it. yes there is some good stuff on there, but not nearly what it would have been been with other stuff. i mean 'i'm amazed' over 'one big holiday' with Kirk Hammett!!! no-brainer or even 'across 110th street' woulda been the way to go for MMJ's tune. no 'reign on me' covered by Pj? seriously? where is jack and eddie jammin' together? or plant n krauss? or phil's truckin' encore? in my personal opinion i was let down. take it as bitching or whatever but this is how i feel about it. isn't that what this message board is about. opinions?
Across 110th Street sounded AMAZING, sitting at my campsite... bet it was even better in front of the stage.
I can't complain about the different artists included because everyone has different tastes, but the songs they picked from the concerts are a little suspect. IMHO, especially MMJ's pick is off. There were at least 20 songs better than I'm Amazed at that concert. Believe me, I was there and I have the thing on CD. Of course people's opinions vary in this area, too. I don't really need to suggest some, because they were all amazing, but I'm Amazed was not as Amazing as a lot. Ahhhhhh.....mazing stuff from that concert including the forementioned Across 110th Street.

I gotta agree in the sense that this DVD is subpar. I mean, you'd think they could've atleast taken from one of the two Phil Lesh shows over the weekend. Phil Lesh is the roots of the Roo, and while I agree that the festival has expanded beyond its roots, I think they definitely should have include some of the raging in the DVD... quite a disappointment. I also agree that the choice in MMJ songs was probably one of the worst
tracklist looks great. A bunch of stuff I missed, others I caught and loved. I'm sure it will be complete with fan interviews, documentary-style footage, etc.
Only gripe, they could've thrown in some comedy!
Other than that I think it looks great, especially considering we haven't seen a live DVD release since 2004.

First: IMO, I don't really find it to be that terrible. There are 10 bands on there I didn't even see.
Second: With that said though, I do wish there were some of the memorable shows on there that I did witness to be able to relive. (I.E Swell Season, Umph, Ghostland, Lupe, The Sword, Battles, Chris Rock...etc.)
Third: Meg...the repeat threads are becoming a lost cause. It irks me too, but I think its time to realize that the bigger that Bonnaroo gets, the more traffic this site sees, and the more random posts without pre-searching that will happen. Wether we like it or not! ;D
Fourth: MMJ........Yeah, there were other songs, but "I'm Amazed" is such a sick godddamn song. I think it fits perfect, it was MMJ's return to the farm, with a new album in tow, and I smiled ear-to-ear when that solo ripped off at the end. Define Perfection. ;D
Firth: I'm sure this DVD will not be just some performance followed by the credits, there should undoubtably be some random goodness jammed in between. I am just happy to see a DVD this year period, Superfly obviously aren't trying to please everybody. Honestly, I struggle to understand all the constant negativity towards anything and everything on this board. People always talk about vibes and sh*t, but when it comes down to it there is ALWAYS a problem with everything. At what point do opinions just become blatant bitching?

no bonnaroo dvd will be worth it unless its a multiple disc set with upwards of 5 hours of music footage. there are just too many bands and too much going on to narrow to 16 tracks...
they could have at least shown one band from each timeslot thursday-sunday, and have them in chronicalogical order
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
Of course there are some acts I would've loved to have seen make the dvd, mainly Sigur Ros, but I really can't complain. Seems like a pretty strong track list
