This was the overall best performance of Bonnaroo 2008. Somehow the music was able to control the intensity of the rain. I've never seen anything like it. It was truly a once in a lifetime event and ranks as one of my all time top concert experiences. My Morning Jacket is the greatest living American band today.

It's easy for people who were comfortably sleeping in their warm beds elsewhere in the country to criticize the people who were in the audience for hating Kanye. For those of us who were there, I can say hands-down that his performance was shit. No one can make an audience wait almost 2 hours then deliver a half-hearted 1 hour performance that was at best-average. When Kanye awkwardly crept off stage through a hole in the floor, everyone just laughed. "Is that it?" people said. No one stuck around to demand an encore. The show itself was cheesy. Not only did he lose old fans, he lost prospective fans too. Bad job, Kanye.

It may sound weird to suggest rolling while at a Sigur Ros concert, but I ate a little white smiley pill before I left Pearl Jam and the result was amazing. All the glowstick kids around me were kissing and loving each other. It was like the climax of a great movie where everyone in the audience is crying. The beauty in this music is unparalled. I've seen them twice before and this was the best. Maybe because of the Ecstasy. Probably because of the music. It was a beautiful show.
