News From Bonnaroo (UPDATED with MP3s!)

June 15, 2009

In case you didn’t know, the massive four-day drug/music festi known as Bonnaroo is going on right now. I’ve been checking updates from the festival all weekend because, well, I didn’t go. According to Phantasy Tour, Bruce Springsteen just got on stage with ultimately heady dudes in Phish. For you non-phishheads, this is as cool as Jay-Z being on stage with Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Madonna. (Speaking of Jay-Z, I’m pretty sure he’s been in Bruce’s shoes before.) The Boss accompanied the phab-four on “Mustang Sally”, “Bobby Jean”, and my favorite Brucey song, “Glory Days.

The full setlist:

Set I: AC/DC Bag, NICU, Gotta Jibboo, Punch You in the Eye,Sparkle, Bathtub Gin, Character Zero, Tweezer> The Horse> Silent in the Morning, Run Like An Antelope, Mustang Sally1 2, Bobby Jean2 3, Glory Days2 3

1 Last Played 6/21/1988 (1142 Shows)
2 Bruce Springsteen (Guitar & Vocals)
3 First Time Played (Bruce Springsteen)

The shows still going on as I type, I’ll post pictures and audio/visual tomorrow.

UPDATE: Here’s a great quality MP3 of Bruce and Phish performing the aforementioned “Glory Days” at Bonnaroo last night. Enjoy.
