Live From Bonnaroo Music Festival 2002 [Live]

Amazon.com
The stage of Tennessee jam band festival Bonnaroo is an unlikely setting for the year's most important blues recording, but young firebrands North Mississippi Allstars pulled off a creative coup this June with their Hill Country Revue. The concert teamed patriarch R.L. Burnside and his guitarist and rapper sons, the late Othar Turner's fife and drum band, the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, and eccentric producer-pianist Jim Dickinson, the father of Allstars Luther and Cody Dickinson, with the wiry trio. The historic results handily blend all the racial, geographic, and cultural elements of the genre with adventurous musicality. Burnside, sadly, is past his prime--present more for inspiration than his lackluster contributions. But his sons carry on the tradition while pushing its borders into hip-hop and six-string psychedelia. If there's a star here, though, it's guitarist Luther Dickinson, who playfully quotes Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and the elder Burnside, and then adds a level of tonal and textural exploration to his performance that makes him a one-man defibrillator for the genre--human insurance that the heart of the blues will keep pumping into the future. --Ted Drozdowski

With that many songs to choose from, should be better.......2003-05-13

This should have been one of the best albums of the year, but the song selection was rather poor. I was quite disappointed.

The Greatest Show on Earth........2003-04-01

I thought after attending Bonnaroo that there would be no way to document this occasion without a huge CD set. However, they performed a miracle and this 2 CD set is great. I highly recommend it.

very good but not great.......2003-01-02

this is one of those concert festival cds that would have been so much better live... some of the tracks live Les Claypool and Robert Randolph really rocked on but other like Bela Fleck and most of disc 2 could have been way better. the one really good thing this cd did is make me aware of the Bonnaroo Festival and who could be playing at it this year! you would be better of finding bootlegs of the show.

-Sample some of the sweetest music around.......2002-11-18

What do you need to know about this compilation? I really shouldn't presume that I know. However, I can tell you what I enjoyed, and why I enjoyed it.
Widespread Panic with Dottie Peoples and the People's Choice Choir-Unbelievable energy,is this gospel music? Is it Southern Rock? Does it matter? Not really, it is simply music that is passionate, vibrant, and great for the soul. This may seem overly enthusiastic, or even maudlin, but I recommend that you listen to the song, and hear the magic for yourself.
Phil and Bobby:Tennessee Jed-apropos right? Fitting for the occasion, and it is obvious that the crowd appreciated the song. What is more, the band is great, and they have such a following for good reason.
Les Claypool's Frog Brigade:Lomotive Breath- The Frogs do Jethro Tull proud; a great cover, a sweet tip-o'-the-hat.
Robert Randolph & the Family Band with Luther Dickinson-Very impressive, such skill, such soul. If you have never seen this band, it is definitely worth your while, what an experience they offer to those fortunate enough to attend their shows.
Soulive-Talent, ability, skill, yes describe it as you will, they do what they do, and they do it well. So funky, so fresh, yet so reminiscent of the musical past. The music combines elements of Jazz past,present and future.
The John Butler Trio-Perhaps not many people know of this band, as they are from Australia, but you just might appreciate this band's blues, jazz, and rock mixture. Sweet slide guitar.
If your curiosity has been peeked in the slightest, get this album, it is musically diverse, and samples some really great music. Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, Soul, Bluegrass, Rock, Gospel, classify as you will, but in the end you will be satisfied.

An Ample Compilation..........2002-11-08

Who ever edited this CD set should get a pat on the back. they did a great job, it must have been horrible to have to hack down the hundreds of awesome songs performed by a number of down right rockin' bands. I would like to have seen some of the Disco Biscuit's on this album but more importantly I would loved to have seen some of Colonel Les Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains! That is possibly the coolest live show that I have ever heard! For those of you that share this mutual disapointment should check out the DVD, it contains one song from the Bernie Brains set. This CD contains a lot of the solid performances that were given at the Festival but falls short of the legacy that the Bonnaroo Music Festival left in its wake. There are some blistering performances like the Frog Brigade track but overall it just falls short. If you were at the Festival don't bother with this CD get the DVD, unless you are a completionist. For the rest of you to get a good feeling for the type of music exebitioned at the Festival check it out, they should release an eight or nine CD set including some full sets but oh well!

Average customer rating: Capturing the Bonnaroo Spirit Very good chance for someone who couldn't go to get a taste Good stuff, even if you are not a "Dead" fan... Worth Every Penny! not what it's all about

Capturing the Bonnaroo Spirit.......2003-06-21

I was very blessed to be able to attend this amazing music festival. Overall, I was very pleased with this CD, and listening to it reminds me of those wonderful three days I spent in Manchester, TN. I was especially happy that Widespread Panic's "Tallboy" featuring Dottie People was on the CD, because that was truly a great musical moment. Overall, I thought most of the song selections were good, but there were some bands that I wished would have made the CD, for example The Big Wu, Keller Williams, Mofro and Donna the Buffalo. However, all in all, the CD did a fine job, and I especially enjoy the Widespread Panic, Robert Randolph, and String Cheese Incident song selections. Overall, I would recommend this CD for those who attended to festival and for those who did not manage to make it to Tennessee.

Very good chance for someone who couldn't go to get a taste.......2003-04-01

I think this is a great compilation for someone like myself to get a taste of what Bonnaroo is like. This double disc is a great set of bands that I know I like and of bands that I've never heard before but definitely fit in and belong in a festival like Bonnaroo.

I must say that I am very disappointed in the song choice for Les Claypool's Frog Brigade. I am a huge Claypool fan as well as being a huge Tull fan. However, I would much rather hear Claypool playing his own stuff, and I'm sure he provided a vast set of songs that could have been put on this disc instead of Locamotive Breath.

I am only slightly disappointed in the choice for the Galactic song. I have seen them live, and they seriously jam. The song that was chosen for this double disc doesn't really jam. It's still a good song, but I don't think it represents their true style.

To end, I am very glad that I purchased this double disc. It is very well done, and the compilation of music on here makes me even more upset with myself that I didn't make it to Tennessee myself. I definitely recommend picking this one up.

As a potential solution to the limitations that I have read about this disc is that the song chosen isn't what people wanted for a particular band. If a 4-disc set was released with a few songs from each band, I would buy that.

Good stuff, even if you are not a "Dead" fan..........2003-03-26

This is an excellent sampler of music that is blissfully free of corporate branding and meant to be heard LIVE. I must say that I come to this scene via the funk and jazz route, so unlike all the people who dig this because of it's "Dead" and "Phish" connections, I bought it becasue I figured anything with Galactic, Soulive, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Norah Jones must be worth investigating. I'm pleased to say that I am now much more interested in Widespread Panic and Ben Harper than I ever was before. And it confirms that Robert Randolph is the next big thing.

The most interesting thing to me is that the free download Amazon lists as being from this CD, Galactic's "Hangnail", is not in fact on the CD, but it is EXCELLENT, and actually better than their contribution to this CD, "Tiger Roll". Fans of this band should download this immediately, it is awesome!

Good job by the producers of this CD to mix up the funk with the roots and southern sounds. (Could have used a Karl Denson song, though. I saw he was on the DVD.) Hopefully the 2003 version will have the funky METERS and Medeski, Martin and Wood! But buy this one to get a hold of a whole scene, and the beauty of music not made for consumer groups.

Worth Every Penny!.......2003-02-18

This CD is one of those rare CDs you can listen to in its entirety. It has an eclectic enough mix of artists to keep the serious jam band fan engaged and some incredible performances that will hook someone just entering the genre. It's one thing to put together a compilation of great acts and another to create a compilation of great performances from great bands. This album was recommended to me by a jam band fanatic and I would recommend it to a serious jam bander to expand their collection, to a fledgling jam band fan as a springboard into the scene and to anyone in between. Buy this album.

not what it's all about.......2003-01-06

while yes, this cd does have a good array of decent music, i think the cd itself flies in the face of the jamband scene. i don't understand how one can decide what should go on the cd and what shouldn't. i've never been a fan of "best of" cd's, and this is a perfect example. who's the guy that says norah jones should be chosen over disco biscuits?
also, i had the awful feeling after i bought this disc that i'm supporting a profit-based organization rather than one that truly appreciates the music these artists produce. sure, the cd serves as a vector to open people's eyes to a different genre of music, but it's closing the gap between a jam band and a pop band. plus, 22 bucks?
