Too bad I did not get into this group till after the death of lead singer/bassist Mark Sandman. I think of all the bands being labeled in the yay or nay series, this would be one unanimous yay decision if we could have Morphine at tha Roo.
Oh yeah, sharks patrol these waters, sharks patrols these waters, don't let your fingers dangle in the water...

During Les Claypools 1st Bonnaroo performance in 2002, he mentioned onstage that mark Sandman gave him the idea to use a bullet mic for vocals. No point really, just a Bonnaroo/morphine connection I thought I'd share.
Good to see ya back, masshysteria. I thought we'd lost you til the lineup announcement

I've been bummed for years about missing-out on Morphine's music until it was too late to see them live. I'm always amazed at how few people seem to have a clue who they are....and how good they were! They're/were a great band and I think that they would've been an excellent Roo addition!
Karma for the fine taste.

It's on the 5 Gallons of Diesel DVD. I first checked out Morphine afterwards and I quickly became sour when I heard how cool their music was.

Saw them on the HORDE tour as well, over in Raleigh. Was a little familiar with their music before hand but was totally unprepared for how insane they were live. Played on a small side stage, we got about 10 feet away. If they were still around today, they would rule at Roo!

And apparently, on occasion, they put together a Morphine tribute of sorts (I say of sorts because the remaining members of Morphine are involved) called Orchestra Morphine.
I'd be down for either at Bonnaroo. It'd be the kind of show that would be great on early Sunday afternoon when people who didn't know better are still trying to sleep off hangovers...
