Manchester, Tenn.

Well, I made it through all of last year and one-and-a-half days this year of no rain at Bonnaroo, but that streak was quickly broken. It started raining just before the headling sets of Chris Rock and Metallica (a setlist follows this blog) and went through the Superjam (set also listed at end) this morning. I'm working on about four hours of sleep, but it's the music that keeps me going...

Forecast for today: more rain...good times.

Bonnaroo

Manchester, Tenn.

It almost feels like I never left ... When I pulled up to the site yesterday, it all seemed familiar and oddly comfortable -- well, until the sweating started.

It's hot here ... really hot. But that's to be expected. I also expected that half way through the bands of the day, I'd know it was all worth it.

Live Review: CMA Fest

CMA Fest

Nashville, Tenn.

June 5-8, 2008

The Deal: The Country Music Association Festival took over Nashville last week the way NASCARnival takes over Charlotte. Just about every country music star performed at some point over the weekend; it was the Bonnaroo of country music. Meanwhile, The Nashville Convention Center was like a career fair

for striving country artists and a country fair for country music fans. There were redneck games like fake logging and oil drilling, karaoke and long lines of autograph seekers trying to get a sharpie scribble from their favorite artist. As for the strip of Nashville during the CMA Fest...remember Speed Street? Kinda like that, but sans the turkey leg stands serving cheesecake on a stick.

The Deal: Tim McGraw’s “Live Your Voice Tour” co-staring Jason Aldean (a mini-me Tim McGraw) made a pit stop at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre the night before the NASCAR All-Star Race. Which made it convenient for the race fans camped out at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, and made the concert like a race.

No photos of Kanye

Posted By on Thu, May 8, 2008 at 10:45 AM

Usually, we like to take some photos at live shows (thanks to a photo pass) and put them in the paper and post them online.

Well, don't expect to see any from tonight's Glow in the Dark Tour. Kanye West has refused any media from taking photos at tonight's show. Yep, that includes openers Rihanna, NERD and Lupe Fiasco.

You'll just have to wonder what it looked like...
