Bonnaroo continues an annual tradition with an all-star SuperJam, starting at midnight on Friday, June 15. Former Led Zeppelin bass player JOHN PAUL JONES will anchor a trio featuring one of music's most innovative modern bluesmen, guitar wizard BEN HARPER, and Roots drummer AHMIR "?UESTLOVE" THOMPSON. The SuperJam is one of the most highly anticipated features of the festival, combining the talents of a diverse set of musicians for a one-time-only collaborative performance. Past participants have included Stewart Copeland, Herbie Hancock, Dr. John, Trey Anastasio, and many other musicians of the highest caliber - and if history is any indication, expect special guests to join the fun.
Since the break-up of Led Zeppelin in 1980, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jones has worked with bands including R.E.M. and the Foo Fighters. Harper's last album, "Both Sides of the Gun," debuted at Number Seven on the Billboard charts; Rolling Stone has called him a "natural-born superstar." In addition to his role as the heartbeat of hip-hop trailblazers the Roots, Thompson has played with and produced such artists as D'Angelo and Fiona Apple; at Bonnaroo, he will also be performing with his jazz-oriented group, The Philadelphia Experiment.
Geez, Freaking John Paul Jones!!!! Sad to say I will be at Cheese and STS9, hope he turns up elsewhere.
are you crazy? anyone that would miss this is crazy. who cares about sci and sts9 when you have a living legend playing in a tent late night at bonnaroo. you will NEVER see this again. sci may say they are breaking up but there is always a chance they will reunite. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN PEOPLE. JOHN PAUL JONES from LED ZEPPELIN. but yea, stay away, so there will be more room. please.

Well, this complicates Friday night for me. I will probably still be in the jazz tent, but if there's no line and I can come and go easily I'll probably dip out and see some of this. I'm just glad it broke this soon.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
I'm shocked that they would announce it before the festival.
how awesome would that have been if they had not announced it, like normal. you walk in just to see who it is and see john pual jones up there rocking zep with ben and quest. my god.
