Thought he was weak during the 2015 Superjam, curious to see how big his role is here.
I really liked the end with poison > this is how we do it. Juicy would've been better if Ferg didn't do it the year before, and Summertime would've been better if they actually did the whole song.

All these last minute additions to try to "fix" Bonnaroo are frustrating because they would all be much better if they had just been announced originally. I still am not sure it'd be worth it for me but the late nights look better with the changes lately and adding Chance to Superjam is a big bonus.

And a lot of appreciation for the musical stuff. I think for any doubters and those who just don't know better, PHJB proved what's up on their own set. Love seeing that packed with people knowing shit too. Superjam is in some of the best hands.
This set was an absolute BLAST. Only been to three years of superjams, but this one took the cake for me. Hey Ya was easily one my happiest Roo moments.
Snagged a setlist:
Everybody dance now - pres hall Happy - Jon batiste Get up offa that thing - flint Eastwood Super freak - boyfriend Little red corvette - rayland Baxter Hand Clapping Song - George Porter Jr. Can I Kick It - Lecrae Love and Happiness - Lukas Nelson & Margo Price Time is on my side - Nicole Atkins Waterfalls - Joseph 24K Magic - Jason Huber Keep the Same Old Feeling -Tank ATB Ain't nothin but a G Thang - Chance Hey Ya

I had a good time, too. As we were leaving, it looked like PHJB were coming back out but it had already cleared out. That's not on the crowd, though. They had played to the end of their time and had thrown instruments into the crowd!

I'm glad to hear PHJB did well. It would have hurt my feelings if they blew it. But I didn't think they would, Jaffe is a very smart and aware dude, he is a great band leader.

They weren't going to blow it, that was nearly impossible. That was the argument I was making the week before the festival. You don't play other people's shit (be it Coltrane to Madonna, Miles Davis to My Morning Jacket for 50 years and not be able to handle this like nobody else could do it. In the interview before their own set (which was great btw), Jaffe was talking about how Jim James was the one to get them to finally start exploring their own music a few years ago. Their second original release was based on time they spent in Cuba and immersing themselves in Cuban music.
By the way, Uncle Charlie still looks great at 85.
Consequence of Sound gave it #3 of their Top 10 sets of the festival.
Hey Bonnaroo, can you please book the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to lead every Superjam from here on out? Add a slew of horns to almost any song and it sounds better, but after last year’s somewhat underwhelming “Heart, Soul & Spirit” edition, the insane chops and unbridled party-starting energy of the storied New Orleans group’s “Soul Shakedown”, which closed out Saturday’s lineup in This Tent, was a revelation.
The set of thirteen covers, which ranged from classic soul and funk to contemporary hip-hop and R&B performed by a ridiculously talented roster of special guests, was packed with highlight hits from start to finish. PHJB themselves administered the first shot of adrenaline with blaring trombone, trumpet and sax on C+C Music Factory essential “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”. Boyfriend and her dancers slayed during Rick James’ “Super Freak” (and snippet of MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This”) with a dazzling dance routine (it’s incredible how perfect the choreography was given they don’t rehearse these shows before the weekend starts). Lukas Nelson and Margo Price traded country roots for riveting, riff-heavy funk with their duet on Al Green’s “Love and Happiness”. Portland sister trio Joseph nailed the most resplendent harmonies of the weekend on TLC’s “Waterfalls”. And Chance the Rapper lived up his name more than ever before with a slick sashay through Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “Nothin’ But a G Thang”.
For the finale, Chance – veritably Bonnaroo’s 2017 Man About Town with more cameos across the grounds than anyone else – was joined by nearly the entire Superjam’s roster for a rousing rendition of Outkast’s “Hey Ya!”. That tune almost lost momentum when Chano’s delivery got perhaps a little too jazzy/airy on the “shake it like a Polaroid picture” bit, but he had the likes of Nicole Atkins, Boyfriend, and Flint Eastwood to the see the chorus through to its raucous-refrain ending. Truly, this Superjam was the necessary day-three late-night rally, with everyone leaving the tent with a jolt of dance-powered energy to propel them into Roo’s fourth and final day in all-time-high spirits. As James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem said last year about Grace Jones’ set at FYF Fest, “If you missed it, you fucked up.” I mean, just look at this absurdly awesome set list:
Everybody Dance Now (C+C Music Factory cover w/ Preservation Hall Jazz Band) Happy (Pharrell Williams cover w/ Jon Batiste) Get Up Off That Thing (James Brown cover w/ Flint Eastwood) Super Freak (Rick James cover w/ Boyfriend) Little Red Corvette (Prince cove r w/ Rayland Baxter) Hand Clapping Song (The Meters cover w/ George Porter Jr.) Can I Kick It (A Tribe Called Quest cover w/ Lecrae) Love and Happiness (Al Green Cover w/ Lukas Nelson and Margo Price) Time is On My Side (The Rolling Stones cover w/ Nicole Atkins) Waterfalls (TLC cover w/ Joseph) 24K Magic (Bruno Mars cover w/ Jason Huber of Cherub) Keep That Same Old Feeling (The Crusaders cover w/ Tank and the Bangas) Nothin’ But a G Thang (Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg cover w/ Chance the Rapper) Hey Ya! (Outkast cover w/ everyone) –David Brendan Hall

Next year they should have Prez Hall and Chance collab on an old school hip hop Superjam done right. At the beginning or end of the set they could give Chance a 5-timers jacket as well as a Food Club-esque plaque that entitles him as the new Mayor of Bonnaroo.
So fucking awesomeeeee. That Can i Kick it Cover was a fucking blast. Agree the Hey Ya was one of the happiest moment of bonnaroo. So glad this came together well.

I was thinking that they should go full-on Monsters of Rock next year. Just a rock and metal superjam. I don't remember them doing one like that. The John Paul Jones/Ben Harper/?uestlove superjam was close but it was really more focused on Led Zeppelin than on being a true superjam.

I hold the Jim James super jam and the John Paul Jones super jam in the highest regard, but this one was really outstanding, too. I had a blast. So glad I was able to traverse Centeroo and get a good spot with some of my friends.
