Once you get over that Tame is not a jam band. It stings a lot less. They are solid live, but I never felt they went above and beyond what was expected. Except on their live album where they seemed to actually let songs breath a little.
I’ve seen them twice at minor-ish festivals (Float and Buku), and they were Top 1 at both
To be fair I love Tame. I enjoyed when I saw them on tour at echostage and would like to catch them headline a festival. The thing is, when the first few albums were provoking pink floyd vibes and then you get none of those elements accentuated live it knocks them down. PtM gets a lot of hate on the boards but they will feel a song out and fucking jam whereas Tame is like a pop band playing the songs straight off the album. That's a deciding factor in my enthusiasm.

Tame is like the Eagles in that regard, I swear you can close your eyes at a show and it sounds like you're just listening to the studio tracks

anyone have some insight on where to start w badbadnotgood? I really dig their song sleeper
We posted about them a few pages back. Jake J recommended III. They have 5 albums that are all good - some jazzier, lots of hip hop influence. If you like jazz and people who can play their instruments, they are a great band. I saw them when they were very young and could tell as a New Orleanian who has always been exposed to jazz they knew what was up. It won’t be as aggressive as Sons or Comet, but it will be a highlight show Saturday. They have a couple concerts up from recent shows. Camp Flog Gnaw is one of the more recent.
Edit to say I finally finished watching that and the MF DOOM tribute the last 8 minutes hit.

Time for an activity: so there is 2 more total acts Thursday this year. Going off last year schedule, the scenario is (assuming PL set on the main stage is something like 11-1245 unopposed) what stage is open early two tent acts become what openers for PL, making 4 total acts on what Thursday.
What 3 acts are you putting on the main stage? And what 2 going in the tents after Pretty Lights?
My votes are the heavy heavy > say she she > Neal Frances > Pretty lights.... Eggy and GWAR in the tents

I'm assuming PL is the only band on What. Which only makes 1 more total act compared to 2023.

Okay that's cool but that's not the scenario I made up in my head

Correct, but Tame's songs are actually good to begin with.
Plus, if you are going to have confetti/lasers/an ufo ring/ synchronized videos you kinda have to play perfectly timed sets. Unless you are a band like phish. Those guys are a true jam band and are on a whole different level. But again, how many studio versions of Phish songs does anyone really listen too? I can't think of one. All of my favs of theirs are live.

ran a little experiment and went through all their studio albums and made a playlist of studio versions i listen to somewhat regularly, or sometimes actually prefer to the live versions.
billy breathes, ghost, and sigma oasis in particular are just great studio records imo. and some of the great songs on those records don't translate well live at all.

Leaving 2 scenarios :
1. Fisher on the What before PL making only 2 on the What for that night - Fisher (9-10 pm )> PL (11-1am)
Two tent closers after(my guesses) : GWAR(1-2am) / Neil Francis ( 130-230am)
2. PL on What from 11-1230/1am
After :
Other - Fisher (1-215am) That - GWAR (1-2am) This - Neil F ( 130-230am)

what kind of freaks me out about this lineup is how much i enjoy the other artists. almost every mock schedule i see has me spending the majority of my time at the other, which has never happened before for me.
other acts i am genuinely excited for:
isoxo hamdi whyte fang four tet shy fx its murph knock2
other acts i'd be interested in seeing (could be upgraded based on more listening):
honeyluv fisher lyny dr. fresch vandelux kasablanca disco lines oliver heldens diplo tsha veggi
other acts i'm not particularly interested in seeing:
jessica audiffred* svdden death* seven lions galantis# two friends#
* - to be fair to jessica and svdden death, they seem to do a type of pure new school dubstep that is usually fun for me for about 10 minutes but then i'm looking at my watch. but if they craft an interesting set it could be engaging. like the reason i respect excision is he keeps his sets interesting while remaining true to his chosen genre.
# - whats really nice about galantis and two friends is they will almost certainly be during Jason Isbell so very good scheduling for my tastes.
i'll say this, traditionally with electronic music i'm mainly a techno guy, but this past year i find myself listening to the "sub low" and "bass arcade" playlists more on spotify then "techno bunker" which is usually my go to. obviously there is a whole world of artists that play within those genres that don't appear on those playlists, but i think they do represent what is popular in those respective genres. and what's apparently popular in techno right now isn't super to my liking. lot of high bpm tracks, or tracks with shameless vocal samples that kind of make me roll my eyes. it's like here comes this beat and here is a vocal sample thats like "I'M GUNNA ROLL ON MDMA ALL NIGHT LONG AND PARTY PARTY" and it's like yeah i know people are doing that but maybe lets be a little more low key about it? whereas while there is of course some trash on the bass music playlists there is also a lot of interesting stuff. seeing more old school dubstep revival, or drum and bass, or interesting applications of other genres in a fun or even humorous way.
also i like the house music artists of course. house music always rules.
i've been listening to this song "nan slapper" a lot and i hope somebody selects it at bonnaroo. the bass drop is EXTREMELY upsetting. it sounds like something terrible is happening to your subwoofer and it's awesome.

not sure if we've touched on it, but what are the chances that the Thursday PL set goes unopposed? at least mostly unopposed, i don't think the math works out for it to be completely unopposed. the mocks so far seem split on the idea.

Unless they have an act or two on What before PL or they start the tents at noon I don't think it's really possible for PL to go unopposed with the amount of artists they have for Thursday. Right now on my mock the tent acts start at 2pm with 45 mins between each, 2 acts during PL, and they still go til 3:30am. I feel like it would be weird for them to have anyone else other than PL be the first act on What on Thursday.

I think it'll be 90 total minutes, 60 of which are unopposed. I'm gonna be upset when the choice ends up being the big fireworks show at the end of PL vs the first half of Militarie Gun

I say PL gets scheduled 2 hours. 30-60 minutes unopposed. Then two tent acts for the second half, before late night with Fisher at other and a few more tent acts going.

i remember in 2019 i went with my brother and he’s older than me and had seen some edm in the early 2010s like skrillex and basslights and he saw 12th planet at bonnaroo and told me “back in my day there’d be a build up to a drop like a few times during a show and that was great. now it seems like the entire set is a drop.”

I'm also way more into this years other acts than last year. Disclosure is my #1 I've seen there and I'm not sure anyone this year will surpass that but it's certainly possible
