There are three things you need to know about Beastie Boys' set at Bonnaroo Friday night:

1. The trio recruited fellow New York rapper Nas to join them onstage to debut a new hip-hop song off their upcoming fall release, Hot Sauce Committee.

2. They spent 60 percent of the show playing their instruments.

Bruce Springsteen may be an American cultural institution, but as far as the average tie-dye aficionado is concerned, he probably ranks somewhere between Justin Timberlake and drug-abstention as far as relevance goes.
