While Europe has enjoyed a diverse selection of music
festivals for decades, their American counterparts are only
slowly catching on. Over the past few years, festivals have
been popping up all over the country, catering to almost
every musical genre. All Tomorrow's Parties, Coachella, and
MACRock are just some of the big name festivals to recently
emerge. The Bonnaroo festival debuted in 2002 on a six
hundred acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee. The first event
featured a diverse, if somewhat hippie-oriented roster,
divided over three days and four stages.
The festival came back in 2003 to that same patch of farm
land bringing with it some of the artists from the first
year, but also including more hip-hop and indie rock acts.
Alongside hippie fare like Widespread Panic and the Dead were
the Flaming Lips, Tortoise, and My Morning Jacket.
With the ideals of Woodstock thrown out the window, music
festivals have become more about corporate synergy than
politics, so it's only natural that Bonnaroo would
immediately spawn a commemorative DVD and CD. Directed by
Danny Clinch, 270 Miles From Graceland is a document of last
year's festival that rises above the cash grab motivations
behind the project and puts together a well-shot, well-edited
musical postcard.
A double-DVD set, the first disc offers up 23 live
performances, while the second disc includes Portraits from
the Bonnaroo Experience (meaning deleted scenes), clips from
various press conferences, and some backstage rehearsals.
The film starts off nicely, following Antibalas from New York
to Manchester, but the back of the DVD box advertising a live
performance from the group is somewhat misleading. While it
makes use of the sound from their performance, most of the
time devoted to the group is spent either in the van or at
gas stations along the way. However, the rest of the disc
lives up to its promises and delivers live performances from
both the main stage and side stages.
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals really open up the film
with a fiery performance, and a couple of acts later the
Polyphonic Spree bring their cult-like presence to the stage
in a showy, overly earnest rendition of "It's the Sun".
Whereas, later on, the Flaming Lips would truly engage the
energy and positivity of the crowd, the Polyphonic Spree were
simply trying too hard. Their power in numbers (which must
easily be two dozen) cannot make up for their inability to
write an interesting song.
The middle of the disc is particularly strong, with great
performances by sunburned country rockers My Morning Jacket
and the chilled-out cool of Tortoise. Then there is Sonic
Youth. Rocking out harder than bands twenty years their
junior, these crazy New Yorkers serve up an astonishing
version of "Bull in the Heather". Played at double time, and
featuring new member Jim O'Rourke on guitar, it is a grittier
take on the almost too-calculated album cut.
However, as the disc comes to a close, the performances get
weaker. While highly entertaining, the Flaming Lips' Wayne
Coyne's voice seemed to have left early for the night as he
struggles hoarsely through a poorly mixed "Yoshimi Battles
the Pink Robots". The only redeeming quality of their
performance is the nun-puppet sing-along that closes the
track. You'll have to believe me on this one.
The Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown, offers up a truly
disappointing set with enough backup singers and scantily
clad dancers to make Kid Rock sit up and take notice. It's a
shame that Brown must rely on these stage-candy performers to
carry a song. Rarely in "I Feel Good" does James Brown
actually sing. Instead he is busy conducting the rest of the
group and trying hard to let us forget that he no longer has
the spontaneous energy he once had. Even the one song is a
tad depressing, as you watch Brown try desperately to keep up
with everyone around him.
While beautifully filmed, it seems that in the rush to get
the film out Sanctuary forgot a few key elements as part of
the their packaging. Nowhere do we get a chapter breakdown.
The film itself doesn't introduce the performers, the back of
the DVD box is out of sequence, and the tray card is merely a
reproduction of the cover. In order to know who was playing
or what song they were doing, I had to stop the film and
access the chapter menus to figure it out. The bonus DVD
material, while mostly nice, lacks one key element -- the
history of the festival. Nowhere are we given the background
or inspiration for this new festival, and that's a bit of a
shame.s
Overall, I do recommend this DVD to anyone who had a chance
to attend the festival or who is thrilled by the roster of
artists. The concert footage is nicely intercut with scenes
of the fans and attendees of Bonnaroo, truly capturing the
vibe of what it's like to spend a few days on a patch of
grass, listening to your favorite music.
