I don't care if I get smited, they're just plain horrible live. I saw them at lolla 07, and I actually walked away from their set 20 minutes in. Walked over to My Morning Jacket which was 1000x better.
It's a shame, cause if it was anything like the quality it is on the record, it would be a amazing show. But it's just so boring.
I won't smite you. but thats the thing for MM though, as well as UC im sure... It has to be difficult to put on a terrific show with the way Brock sings, his voice has to be completely thrashed at the end of their tours...
It really is a matter of opinion i suppose, and they would be pretty much the only way i would find myself fighting to get back on the farm...
IMO of course
Yeah, he does have an unique voice. I am glad tho that I got to see Johnny Marr for at least that little bit, cause he's with the Cribs now.
i hope sonic youth gets added. their new album is coming out the week of bonnaroo.
Coming June 9 : Sonic Youth’s ‘The Eternal’ Body: Sonic Youth’s 16th album, ‘The Eternal’, will be released on double vinyl, compact disc, and digital album by Matador Records on June 9. Produced by John Agnello and the band, ‘The Eternal’ not only marks Sonic Youth’s return to the independent label sphere (titles on their own SYR label excepted) after a long association with Geffen, but more importantly, ranks as one of their more inspired efforts in a 28 year career.
Recorded through November and December of last year at the band’s Echo Canyon West studio in Hoboken, NJ, ‘The Eternal’ features many firsts for a Sonic Youth album, including a number of shared vocals between Kim, Thurston, and Lee, and the studio debut of former Pavement/Dustdevils bassist Mark Ibold, a member of Sonic Youth’s touring band for the past few years.
The band’s current extracurricular activities are as always, quite varied. The Kunsthalle in Dusseldorf, Germany is now hosting the touring museum exhibition SONIC YOUTH ETC.: SENSATIONAL FIX, which focuses on the band’s multidisciplinary work since the band’s formation in 1981, including their collaborations with visual artists, filmmakers, designers and musicians. Kim Gordon launches a clothing line, Mirror/Dash, at Urban Outfitters on February 16, and is showing at The Armory Show in NYC March 5-8. Lee Ranaldo, with co-conspirator Leah Singer, just opened installations at the Konsthall in Stockholm and the CNEAI in Paris, and he has a piece in the travelling exhibition “Bad Moon Rising 3″, currently at Boots Contemporary Art Space in St. Louis. A Beck/Sonic Youth split 7″ is being released by Matador on April 18 for Record Store Day. And the band recently collaborated with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company (along with former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and mixed-media sound composer Takehisa Kosugi) on a work celebrating, and being performed for, Cunningham’s 90th birthday on April 16 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Upcoming SY shows include April gigs in Austria and Germany (including the closing of SENSATIONAL FIX in Dusseldorf) and May 16 at the No Fun Festival in Brooklyn. The will be touring throughout the summer in support of ‘The Eternal’.
More information on these and the many, many other activities since the 2006 release of their last album, ‘Rather Ripped’, can be found here.
Of ‘The Eternal’, Matador’s Gerard Cosloy says, “We’ve not had a record in our recent history that’s been the subject of nearly as much speculation and anticipation. Suffice to say we’re pretty amazed at the way the band delivered something this neoteric while still sounding like, well, themselves. Less of a reinvention and perhaps more to do with a particularly awesome dozen songs. ” Matador will shortly announce a Buy Early Get Now scheme for the album with some very interesting bonus material.
Sonic Youth are: Steve Shelley Lee Ranaldo Kim Gordon Thurston Moore Mark Ibold

the raekwon and ghostface rumor would be awesome. and i would put sonic youth and dan deacon on the upper tier of lineup addition probables. both have new albums coming out and both will be touring this summer. also, dan deacon belongs at bonnaroo. if those three acts got added, i think i may puke on the farm.

Dan Deacon would be incredible. His new CD will be coming out next month, and his live show is insane.

I have a gutt feeling Superfly is not don whatsoever. They got the lineup out early to piggyback off the Phish tour announcement/ticket sales and to beat the Rothbury lineup.
They just saw Langerado close up shop because for poor ticket sales and want to make a statement about Bonnaroo still being the best in the land.
I LOVE the lineup thus far, but feel it is quite top heavy. I so believe and hope to see some big names announced...
My guesses: Janes Addiction Oysterhead Flaming Lips STS9 Fleet Foxes Thievery Corp Disco Biscuits Umphrey's McGee Matisyahu Cheech and Chong Tim and Eric
Yes, that seems like a lot (Because it is) but go back and compare lineups from the past years...eventhough our headliners are HUGE and AMAZING...the second tier of bands is truly lacking.
Tickets bought...countdown started...already making the packing list...can not wait!!! Bonnaroo!!!

Why is everyone expecting a lineup addition today? I'd love it, and the anticipation is killing me, I just don't know why everyone thinks it's coming today.
The Hold Steady won't be playing. They are opening for DMB that weekend in NY.
Well - it's still possible. They're playing the 12th and 13th in NY as you said, but they're free until the 16th in Cincinnati...
So that leaves the possibility of them playing on Sunday...but I just checked and that's a 16 hour drive - so it is pretty unlikely - which makes me pretty sad.

The lineup is already worth the ticket price, but they usually give out something that's going to hook anyone who isn't convinced with lineup. I hope for Beck or Outkast
