Concert Review: Bonnaroo 2009 - 06/13/2009 - Day 3 - Page 4

Part of: Bonnaroo 2009

Nine Inch Nails were another act I was pumped to see and apparently so was a major portion of the crowd who made it to the Which Stage before I did. I stood further away than I would've liked but I still enjoyed their awesome set, which included songs like “Terrible Lie,” “March Of The Pigs”, "I'm Afraid Of Americans,” “Burn,” and “Gave Up.” The showstopper, though, would have to be when Dillinger Escape Plan joined NIN on stage for “Wish.” 

While other bands played on and with many of my fellow festivalgoers beyond hammered, I thought it would be wise to call it a day. I wasn't interested in seeing MGMT or Moe and I really was lacking energy so day three at Bonnaroo was concluded.

Sunday marks the last day of Bonnaroo and there are a few more artists I plan on checking out, including Jessica Lea Mayfield (a fellow Ohio resident), as well as Merle Haggard and Coheed & Cambria.  The weather held just fine on Saturday and I hope it will do the same on day four.

    Springsteen wasn't the only one playing at the time. Jeff Bujak was playing on another stage. Check 'yer facts, folks.

    You're such a newb. You probably should have hung out with the guy with the white powder--we would all be better off for it. It might have made for a more interesting review.

    Meh, I would have appreciated a more critical review of some of the artists. Did you really think they were all that great? I herd several people complain that Wilco sounded bland and complaints from others that the Boss' voice sounded shot and his song selection was weighted far too much in favor of his more recent collection rather than his classics (considering this wasn't a typical Springsteen audience, this was a poor choice on his part).

    "I wasn't interested in seeing MGMT or Moe and I really was lacking energy so day three at Bonnaroo was concluded."

    This confirms that you are a douche.
