4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good chance for someone who couldn't go to get a taste, March 31, 2003
This review is from: Live From Bonnaroo Music Festival 2002 (Audio CD)
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.

Worth Every Penny!, February 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Live From Bonnaroo Music Festival 2002 (Audio CD)
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.

A must for any jam fan, January 3, 2003
This review is from: Live From Bonnaroo Music Festival 2002 (Audio CD)
Buy this album. Enjoy it. Then make sure to get the DVD which has all different songs. DVD is 3 hours of the most intense music in the jam scene. CD is 4 stars, DVD is 4000 stars
