I was wondering who else went to Bonnaroo, who you saw, and what you thought.

I saw:

Friday night:

Tom Petty - D+ (garbage, brought Stevie Nicks out, lots of material off new album)

My Morning Jacket - A- (probably deserved an A or better, but I was in the back)

Saturday:

Dungen - B+

CYHSY - B (They were very good live, lots of energy, but broke so much equipment that they finished the set with ZERO guitars...not sure whose fault this was)

Gomez - A- (the surprise performance of the weekend, helped being six feet away)

Beck - B+ (I was way far away, but he was hilarious and put on his standard show)

Radiohead - A (Amazing...but they started with about five slow songs before opening up on 'Paranoid Android.' Didn't seem to matter that they were playing to 60,000 people, still sounded great.)

Sunday:

Andrew Bird - Incomplete (30-minute set, he played violin and whistled and used his loop pedal a lot, obviously a good musician)

Malkmus - B-

I think a lot of the acts were a little disappointed in their crowds. For example, Malkmus's crowd was mostly just positioning for Sonic Youth, and so they weren't really getting so into him. And he didn't seem to like that, and he seemed to want to see SY too. It was a funny juxtaposition though, Malkmus and his taped-up guitar standing in front of Sonic Youth's three racks of ten guitars each.

Friday

Andrew Bird: B. His songs come across fairly well on stage. He dramatizes his melodies a bit too much on stage, but it didn't detract too much.

Devandra Banhart: C+. Some of the songs run together and I got kind of bored. I like their on-stage attitude even if it does come off as a little phony.

Nickel Creek: A-. I was ten feet away from the middle of the stage for this one, so I'm rating it higher. They perform really well together on stage, and I like it when bands do a good variety of covers. My favorite little touch is when they covered 'Toxic' and the lead singer imitated Britney's dance moves.

Robert Randolph and the Family Band: B. They're always strong live. Great energy on stage.

My Morning Jacket: B+. A great live band with great on-stage energy and that is great at playing the audience. The only reason they don't get an A is that I was tired, and I don't think their pre-Z material is that strong.

Saturday

Dungen: B-. Played their songs pretty well. A little too snobby in terms of political talk to the audience. The crowd energy wasn't really there.

Elvis Costello: C+. Allan Toussiant sounded great, but every time I've seen Elvis Costello he plays way too few of his classics. He barely even touched his first seven albums until the last twenty minutes.

Radiohead: A-. Radiohead just sounds amazing live. The only thing keeping me from giving them an A is that I had to work my way out from the front after my back started to hurt and the crowd was so densely packed I could hardly move my arms.

Sunday

The Streets: B. I hadn't heard much of their material before, so I was surprised how good some of their songs were. But after about half an hour I kind of lost interest and wandered off to another stage because of the lack of variety and needless vulgarity.

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks: C-. I was so bored I hardly stuck around for Sonic Youth.

Sonic Youth: B-. They played a lot of grat songs, but if only because of the fatigue factor and my aching legs I had trouble getting into it.
