Billy Joel - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 14-06-2015

NOTE: Maybe it was Action Bronson sampling “Zanzibar” (and paying for it with Mark Ronson’s money) or the shook-up goodwill from Plant’s set but I’d never been readier to give Billy Joel a fair trial and luckily, his excellent re-evaluation barely required one. 

Joel kicked off with “My Life” and “Pressure,” which both share a drive that splits the difference between Randy Newman and Steely Dan more than any of the Tin Pan Alley stuff he’s more known for. 

That is, he capped a weekend of proudly professional winners with two hours of purely pleasurable studio rock and late-night talk show-style patter and recurring gags, many involving a flyswatter he brandished all evening. 

He did a song from his very first record (“I don’t even have a copy of that album”), and after playing “She’s Always a Woman,” brusquely commented, “That was for one of my ex-wives.”

Billy Joel - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 14-06-2015

Tears For Fears - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 12-06-2015

NOTE: Forget the Throwback SuperJam: Tears for Fears were the real party for festivalgoers who actually experienced the Reagan era. 

The long-running act opened with "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and just piled on the hits after that: "Sowing the Seeds of Love," "Pale Shelter," "Break It Down Again" and more. 

Tears for Fears' set also leaned heavily on their 1983 debut LP The Hurting, an album that never really connected with American audiences. ("Especially in Tennessee," Curt Smith joked.)  

The band strung three singles together from that album: "Mad World," "Change" and "Memories Fade." ("Kanye!" audience members screamed on the latter, a nod to the rapper sampling that track for "Coldest Winter.") Following Roland Orzabal's magical, muted performance of Radiohead's "Creep," the New Wave favorites closed out things out with the powerhouse tandem of "Head Over Heels" and "Shout."

Ben Harper & Innocent Criminals - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 12-06-2015

NOTE: Ben Harper was late to Which Stage, and the kids were getting restless. 

But the moment he arrived and tore into his delicious psych-rocker delight “Burn to Shine,” all was set to a fine balance. Hypnotically delicate one moment and soul-roaring blues the next, Ben & friends delivered their sonic Midas touch with a near-disturbing ease.

Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 12-06-2015

The War on Drugs - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 13-06-2015

NOTE: During the War on Drugs' nine-song, career-spanning Saturday afternoon set at the Which Stage, frontman Adam Granduciel proved to be a one-man classic-rock radio station, rolling his words like Bob Dylan ("Arms Like Boulders," "An Ocean in Between the Waves"), baiting hooks like Tom Petty ("Red Eyes"), pinpointing idiosyncratic lyrics like Bruce Springsteen ("Burning") and unleashing note-perfect solos like Mark Knopfler. 

Stripped of their glossy studio embellishes found on Slave Ambient and Lost in a Dream (but assisted by a trumpeter), the War on Drugs pumped out clean, unfettered rock & roll.

Temples - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 11-06-2015

NOTE: Save for their huge “Shelter Song,” Temples hasn’t really broken out in the States the same way other psych outfits like Tame Impala has, but their set at The Other Tent seemed to indicate that maybe that’s the direction they’re headed. 

They haven’t exactly reinvented the wheel, but their songs lend themselves perfectly to big festivals like Bonnaroo.

Don’t be surprised if these guys are billed a lot higher on the next festival circuit.

Temples - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 11-06-2015

Earth, Wind & Fire - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 12-06-2015

NOTE: Earth, Wind & Fire is an American band that has spanned the musical genres of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, disco, pop, rock, Latin, African and gospel. 

They are one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands of the 20th century. 

Also known as EWF, the band was founded in Chicago by Maurice White in 1969. (from Wikipedia)

While Flying Lotus was lighting up the Other Tent, Lamar - along with SuperJammer Chance the Rapper - instead made a surprise cameo during Earth, Wind and Fire's Which Stage funk workshop, freestyling over the legendary outfit's textbook grooves. 

Before the rappers took the stage, Earth, Wind and Fire delivered a brilliant set featuring over a dozen members onstage, each playing an indispensable role in a well-oiled machine. 

The dense layers of guitars, horns, percussion and their extraordinary bassist Verdine White all locked into perfect sync as the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers ripped through a greatest-hits set that boasted "Sing a Song," "Shining Star" and "Boogie Wonderland."

Moon Taxi - Live @ Governors Ball Festival, USA, 06-06-2015

Alabama Shakes - Live @ Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, USA, 12-06-2015

NOTE: The last time Alabama Shakes performed at Bonnaroo, in 2012, they were saddled with a late Thursday night set on one of the smaller stages. 

Three years later, Brittany Howard and her finely tuned roots rockers were performing to a Friday night crowd of at least 50,000 at the fest's main What Stage. "I never thought we'd be here, on this stage," Howard told the crowd before stumbling for words. 

"It's really hard to come up with something to say." She didn't have to say anything: 

The Alabama Shakes' sundown gig was yet another showcase of Howard's unparalleled vocal acrobatics as the tight group shimmered through slow burners like Sound & Color's "I'm Yours" and high-energy rockers like "Hang Loose."
