Almost lost my sh*t when he came on stage. I know someone on here speculated D'angelo, but never in a million years would I have thought this would have happened. I thought it was gonna be near impossible to top the Radiohead show, but the SuperJam almost did it.

left boring Skrillex to check out the special guest then found out it was d angelo....was disappointed. but the set sounded really good.
Are you and voidoid the same person?
A guy with a #1 album who has been a ghost for over a decade is a pretty impressive special guest, if you ask me. Especially when you consider that Questlove said in an interview he basically used that set to push D'Angelo to submit his album (which has been finished) to the label so we can get our f*ckin' hands on it.

MANCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) — D'Angelo is back.
The reclusive R&B singer made his first live U.S. appearance in 12 years at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival early Sunday morning, surprising a few thousand fans during Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's Superjam session.
"I've been waiting 12 years to say this — ladies and gentlemen, D'Angelo!," Thompson said as the crowd roared.
It was his first U.S. show since 2000 and a prelude to an appearance at July's Essence Music Festival and a European tour with many of the same players who backed him Sunday morning. D'Angelo played live in Europe earlier this year.
D'Angelo and his all-star band powered through a 90-minute jam session Sunday morning that included Jimi Hendrix's "Have You Ever Been to Electric Ladyland," Parliament Funkadelic's "Funky Dollar Bill," Led Zeppelin's "What Is and What Should Never Be" and The Beatles' "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window," but no new music.
D'Angelo worked from lyric sheets and the band put together a six-hour practice session Saturday before The Roots, Thompson's regular band, played a gig on Bonnaroo's biggest stage.
When the crowd chanted "One more song! One more song!" after the set, Thompson told fans they hadn't learned any others to play.
Asked if he would be interested in an interview after the show, D'Angelo said "not yet." His only recent public comments were made in a GQ article last month.
Dressed in a black tank top and jeans with a black and white bandanna wrapped around his dreadlocks, D'Angelo was visibly reserved at the start of the set. But he warmed up, kicking into high gear during the Zeppelin portion of the show.
Switching between keyboards and his guitar, D'Angelo's only verbal interaction with the crowd came near the end of the night when he shouted: "Do y'all want us to go home yet?"
Thompson, sipping a cup of orange juice, was still fired up after the show.
"Man, I want to go to Disneyland, right?" he said. "I've been dreaming about this."
Thompson said he had an ulterior motive for luring his friend to Manchester. He wanted to prove D'Angelo was still in fighting shape.
"I wanted him to see that," he said. "That's a green light. Me doing it wasn't, like, running out of jam partners. Me doing it was basically showing him, 'Look, you are so missed you don't even realize how much you are missed,' hoping that this will be the adrenaline boost that will finally get him to turn his record into the label. It's done, it's brilliant. I played on it. I know it's brilliant. Now it's just time to let his kids go and show it to the world. That's what I'm here for." -hitfix.com
This was amazing. We got there just as he started announcing the lineup and when he said D'angelo I think I nearly gave my girlfriend a heart attack from my yelling and jumping. I really wanted this to happen, but can't believe it actually did.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

"boring Skrillex"?? Don't care for his music, but that show was nuts. Great energy and a lot of weird shit going on around me had me more than entertained.
"I've waited 12 years to say this...Ladies and Gentlemen....D'Angelo"
Chilling. I still get chills replaying that moment through my mind. Fantastic show.
When Quest said that I turned behind me with my arms up in the air yelling. Most of the people behind me were a combination of "Who?" and "Who cares?". No high five/chest bump partners to be found.
I left RHCP about an hour early to get up close. When I stopped I looked to my right and was standing right next to Chris Thile. I asked him "So who do you think is going to show up?" He responded "All I can say is that crazy shit is about to go down. You're in the right place."

Same thing happened to me. Luckily there was then an outpouring of idiots and I got a great spot to the right of the stage.

Tons of people waiting on the rail were thinking it would be Jack White. I also heard "Flea" thrown around a bit, saying he would show up for a few songs.
One person noted that the piano set up was for D'angelo and then a little later we saw guys wearing "D'angelo tour" shirts so shiz definitely got real.

Loud, constant stimulus =/= entertainment
Did I say the music was the entertainment? "Great energy and a lot of weird shiz" Reeeead
