Medeski Martin & Wood, Les Claypool Keep Jammin'
At the Other Tent, Medeski Martin & Wood let loose their disjointed, futuristic, and ultimately traditional improvisational jazz stylings for a smaller and more chilled out crowd. "There's really nobody else here like them this year," says Tom Long, a 25-year-old bartender from Philadelphia. "Two years ago there was more jazzy stuff."

Mike Doughty, Shooter Jennings Strum the Day Away
Welcome to Sunday afternoon of Bonnaroo. Just as any other lazy weekend morning, fans like to wake up slow and ease into the day, especially after recovering from the infamously raucous late night performances on Saturday.

Attack of the Elephantmen
The oddly-named Deadboy and the Elephantmen brought the rock Sunday afternoon to heat-weary Bonnaroo-goers needing a bit of a jam reprieve. Introduced as "a rockin' band," the usual duo appeared as a trio, dropping the hippie vibe in favor of more bluesy, straight forward, garage-style rock'n'roll.

Drinkin' with the Streets
The Streets gave a performance that was, for anyone who wanted something other than a jam band or the current crop of mainstream hip-hop, refreshing. "We are here to inject a little bit of life into the three days that you've been here," Skinner said onstage.

Matisyahu Does Double Duty
Sunday's crowd at Bonnaroo was treated to two separate performances by Hasidic reggae phenomenon Matisyahu. After a brief, late morning sprinkle of rain, Matisyahu played a slower, more otherworldly set at the small-but-mighty Sonic Stage -- Spin's next door neighbor on the festival grounds.

Bonnaroo Goes Green, Gets Clean Vibes
Green and clear plastic bags dangle sporadically from car doors and tent canopies across the many campgrounds at Bonnaroo, but they're not a copied attempt at camp designation. Music festivals generate more than memories and sweet, sweet sounds. They create garbage, and loads of it.

Bonnaroo Press Clap Their Hands
Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah treated the Bonnaroo press corps to a solo acoustic performance, and calling it "intimate" should seem redundant. It isn't, and simply looking at directly his face seemed intrusive (to say nothing of the cameras, notebooks and tape recorders, which seemed monstrous).

Nice Sunburn, Dude!
Being in 90 degree weather with a maximum UV index has consequences; most commonly: sunburn. While painful for the careless and unfortunate, it's really quite amusing for observers.

Tom Petty Owns the What Stage
Suddenly, Tom Petty is the coolest rocker on earth. Not sure when exactly that happened, but no one could have stood as tall upon Bonnaroo's main stage last night.
