Bonnaroo 2007

[AC]

Who would you like to see there?

[Quince]

Jarvis Cocker

[earlnemo]

me

[Wombat]

Are we talking nationaly known or local acts?

[artemis]

Jarvis Cocker
i'll second that.

the arcade fire.

[kag]

Westside Daredevils
Neko Case
A.C. Newman
Pernice Brothers
New Pornographers
Mic Harrison
Rolling Stones
Babyshambles ;-)
Cat Power (again)
Matt Pond PA
Dixie Chicks
Ben Folds (again)
Ben Kweller (again)
Ben Lee
ME!

[skirob]

Rolling Stones

Damn KAG, the Stones. As long as your aiming for that, think we could specify they only do stuff from '68 to '72?

If Ron Wood is back on the wagon then how about The Faces. I know Ronnie Lane died, but I believe the others could pull it off. Get Rod out of his sappy dad music phase he's been in.

[kag]

I think we need a double bill with the Stones and the WSDD on the same stage - the big one!

I believe Ashley can make this happen.

Ashley?

;-)

[skirob]

Oh, forgot to toss out some names.

Secret Machines
Robert Pollard
Neil Young
Arcade Fire
Built to Spill
Wolfmother
Drive-By Truckers
My Morning Jacket (again) - On a larger stage since they've outgrown the tent. One of the highlights of my Bonnaroo experience
Comets on Fire
Clutch - This may seem like a weird one, but live they are like straight ahead heavy jam band that I think would go over quite well and blow some minds
Flaming Lips - Just because they're the Lips

And I was serious about my Faces mention in the previous post :D
Also, KAG mentioned the Dixie Chicks and I think that could go over huge in that setting. Would probably be a very weird show that could very well kick ass.

[Raincrow]

me


I would like to see you there, too. Now, if only I can figure out how to scam my way in again ... Hmmm. Thinking .... (makes head hurt so quit).

[Wombat]

Well if I can suggest local.


1220 & High Score.

[Quince]

Well if I can suggest local.



I would say the Tenderhooks are ready to play that scene.

[mar]

I'll second Neil Young. We got there late in '03 and only saw about 45 minutes of his set.

Any chance Herbie Hancock would do another 'roo? That was probably my favorite show last year.

Liz Phair
Darrell Scott
Tony Furtado
Steve Earle
Peter Gabriel (does he even tour anymore?)
Buena Vista Social Club

Okay, that's it for now.

[Georgia]

Peter Gabriel (does he even tour anymore?)


Seems like he was in Philly not that long ago.

[kag]

Definitely Liz Phair!

Rhett Miller
Tim Lee Band (again)
Wilco
Justin Timberlake (Yes, I want some SexyBack. )
Raconteurs
Sons of Phere (again)
Scissor Sisters
The Wreckers

[jeffx]

new pornos
the shins
drive by truckers
the high strung
the comas
bob pollard
cheap trick
m. ward
de la soul
mf doom
outkast
the flaming lips
matmos
akron/family
glossary
nathan asher and the infantry

os mutantes
erykah badu
james brown

[skirob]

here's the quick list i came up with in the 3 minutes i've got left at work. on top of any of the acts i caught last year, i'd love to see:

new pornos

drive by truckers
........................
.......................
...........................
robert earl keene
animal collective
Yep. I can dig Jeffs list (although I don't do Belle & Sebastian).
Also, I caught The BellRays open for Clutch 2 weeks ago and they were stellar. Nice folks too. The disc has been in the car ever since.

[jeffx]

a few more i came up with/caught over the weekend:

eric bachmann
anderson council
the upper crust
blackstar/mos/talib kweli
the shazam
doves
the hold steady
nas
sloan
gang starr
pharcyde
ambulance ltd
blue man group
phoenix
willie bygod nelson

i know i've made mostly rockist and hip hop suggestions; i've just been aiming for stuff i know would go over well with the crowds i witnessed in 2006, leaning heavy on the psychedelic and/or booty-shaking side of things.

i'd love to suggest some good jam bands, but i'm just not as familiar with that scene. and considering you can't throw a stick without hitting a jam band these days, i'm sure any suggestions i might have are hardly useful.

but i think variety was easily 06's strongest point, and i would implore the powers that be to aim for similar goals in 07.

[gypsy]

konono no.1
sean paul (or some kinda poppy dancehall -- t.o.k. would be nice...)
field mob (i know most of the georgia hip-hop stuff might be too hardcore, but i think field mob would go down big -- and probably don't cost what the bigger names do. plus, how apt a name is "field mob" for bonnaroo?)
m.i.a. (she should have a new album out by then)
boris
ooioo
acid mothers temple
bob dylan
tony joe white
black lips
green day (just because they're so much fun live)

and...kelis!

[B-Boy]

m.i.a. (she should have a new album out by then)


Not so fast, Gypsy. W has her on the "no fly" list for the US, so she cannot even come get her some Diplo when some want some. And I wish I was telling an untruth, but I am not.

[gypsy]

oh, the tamil connection. hmm. well, i'm glad i saw her when i could.

(is that really true? i saw some rumors about it a few months ago but never anything definitive.)

[possumdt]

I've heard rumors of a Jackson 5 reunion. You heard it here first!

[possumdt]

I've heard rumors of a Jackson 5 reunion. You heard it here first!

[chickenman]

Here are some ideas for ya:

Music:

Railroad Earth (no brainer!)
The Decemberists
The New Pornographers
Gamble Brothers Band (from Memphis)
David Grisman Quintet
Carbon Leaf
Buffalo Tom
Everything
Bob Mould
John Prine (again, but on at least Which Stage)
Liz Phair
Madvillain
Ween (again and again and again)
White Stripes
XTC
Utah Philips
Christabel & the Jons
Primordial Soup (they could play along with movie in movie tent?)
Secondhand Jive


Comedy (please put them on a tent stage so I can actually see them!)

David Cross

[Shinola]

Is it true that The Meat Puppets are recording? If so, THEM.

John Prine

Eric Clapton/J.J. Cale
Just J.J. Cale
Rob Russell and the Sore Losers
The Violent Femmes
Ween
Wolfmother
Neil Young
Neil Diamond
The Roots
Robert Earl Keen
Benevento Russo Duo
Willie Nelson

just a short list....but I think a good start.

[kag]

The Loud Family
I second Christabel and the Jons

[Ian]

Pat Benetar with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, and no, I'm not being facetious in the least. But I'd like to see this at Bonnaroo, not at the Tennessee Theatre or whatever.

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing it at the Tennessee Theatre, now that I think of it. But that'd kick ass at Bonnaroo.

[jeffx]

blues explosion

[jeffx]

go balls to the wall and get brian wilson to do smile.

i realize it's a little silly for me to keep popping out suggestions, but frankly i'm having fun with the challenge of trying to put together a virtual lineup that would rival and/or surpass last year's. it's easy enough for me to come up with small/medium acts, but i'll admit to being a little stumped as far as the main stage goes.

[chickenman]

Lee Scratch Perry / Dub Is A Weapon - bring them to bonnaroo or Knoxville, please!

[Quince]

I second Christabel and the Jons

Christabel for 2008 instead. Because I'm a huge fan and would hate for her to debut without being ready.

You should cancel that shit and get down with Bikaroo Too, leaving sometime in June.

jb

[Quince]

levon is hereby thirded.

Fourthed (quartered?) with Levon's daughter.

[Quince]

Fourthed (quartered?) with Levon's daughter.

I think JohnnyB has Manu Chao right. From my Kilroy stance at the fenceline, Manu Chao--producer, performer, Eurokokopelli, global brand--strikes me as the perfect act for that fair.

[AC]

Thanks for so many great ideas. Most of you will find several of your wishes granted, but alas you'll have to wait until late January to find out which ones.
But keep 'em coming.

[Whispering Pines]

The Cure
Jamie Cullum
Balkan Beat Box (again)
Scissor Sisters
The Killers
U2 (sometime, please?)
The Cure (a la Tom Petty, they'd be crowd pleasers, even if the crowd doesn't know it yet. I bet you're suddenly humming a Cure song right now.)

[metulj]

I would say New Order as they really translate to festival settings, but rumor has it that the shows in South America were it for a couple years while they do some solo stuff again. You haven't seen anything until you see Peter Hook pull off the bass line to 'Perfect Kiss' live.

[samjaco2]

Okay AC, you own the joint now. It's time to install the BonnaRail system. Help those poor exhausted bonnaroovians camped way out in the outskirts get to centeroo on an automated people mover. Hell, it worked so well for Springfield!

when do we start getting lineup leaks, anyway? i've already heard a rumor about clutch...
I think the official lineup is announced next week but I can't confirm that.
The big rumour floating around is Pearl Jam as a Friday or Saturday headliner.

[madameRoyali]

I think the official lineup is announced next week but I can't confirm that.
The big rumour floating around is Pearl Jam as a Friday or Saturday headliner.

i vote for clutch.
that would be pretty much badass.
i would also love to see the red hot chilli peppers, wolf mother, beastieboys??((please))

[chickenman]

Westside Daredevils
Tim Lee (again)
Mic Harrison

[KO]

OK, AC. I asked for The Roots and you delivered. Very clever of you. Well played, my able friend. But, you ask, am I satisfied? Of course not. I'm a greedy bastard. You see, I recently became aware that A Tribe Called Quest have reunited and are touring later this year. That is your mission, should you choose to accept it. A Tribe Called Quest. Oh yes, I did just go there.

Who's that? BRRROOOOOWWWWNNNNNN!!!!*

*My old skool ATCQ posse knows what I'm sayin'.

[madameRoyali]

i left my wallet in el segundo, left my wallet in el segundo i left my wallet in el segundo, gotta get it gotsgots ta get it!

they should definately come to bonnaroo....
or perhaps the TN theatre!

[chuck taylor]

the features


To the enth.


If some acts are playing...this definitely needs to be one of them...plus the fan base in Nashville is huge. I can put it simple, this band...arguably...is/are and will continue to make the best, catchiest, hum-along sing-a-song tunes that any band dare to match. And the best part is these guys are as humble as they get.

Universal wants to make you money by covering "All You Need Is Love" for a credit card commercial...and knowing that telling them NO will get you dropped...and yet still tell them no = Integrity.

You don't cover the best band ever for a financial institution that will charge you 24%, but tell you that all you need is love.

[samjaco2]

A Penn and Teller magic show. That's what I want to see at bonnaroo.

[billlear]

I would like to see:

Medford's Black Record Collection
Brendon James Wright
1220
Maid Rite String Band
Malcolm Holcombe
the everybodyfields

[metulj]

Basia Bulat.

I can't go. Fieldwork.

[loveyourpiano]

I would like to see:

Blue Mother Tupelo (why aren't thay famous yet?)

and please:

Hudson K

Thanks for Bonnaroo.
