Average Rating: Rating: - Good stuff, even if you are not a "Dead" fan... This is an excellent sampler of music that is blissfully free of corporate branding and meant to be heard LIVE. I must say that I come to this scene via the funk and jazz route, so unlike all the people who dig this because of it's "Dead" and "Phish" connections, I bought it becasue I figured anything with Galactic, Soulive, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Norah Jones must be worth investigating. I'm pleased to say that I am now much more interested in Widespread Panic and Ben Harper than I ever was before. And it confirms that Robert Randolph is the next big thing. The most interesting thing to me is that the free download Amazon lists as being from this CD, Galactic's "Hangnail", is not in fact on the CD, but it is EXCELLENT, and actually better than their contribution to this CD, "Tiger Roll". Fans of this band should download this immediately, it is awesome! Good job by the producers of this CD to mix up the funk with the roots and southern sounds. (Could have used a Karl Denson song, though. I saw he was on the DVD.) Hopefully the 2003 version will have the funky METERS and Medeski, Martin and Wood! But buy this one to get a hold of a whole scene, and the beauty of music not made for consumer groups. Rating: - What could have been a great compilation is, well, so-so Hey, there was a lot of great music made at the first Bonnarroo, but sadly a lot of it's missing from here. Phil Lesh and Friends played a great set, but what got chosen? Tennessee Jed? C'mon. Oh, OK, the festival is in Tennessee, so let's add a Dead song with Tennessee in the title. Yeah, the Dead often would do that when in states they didn't play much (Alabama Getaway...), but the tepid Tenn. Jed pales compared to any of the Dead's versions! Phil and Friends sizzled for the most part, but not here... Much of the rest of the album is like that -- I mean, WHO CHOSE THESE SONGS? Les Claypool covering Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath" is ok, but things really begin to go downhill on CD 2 after moe.'s "Captain America." Hey, ween, North Mississippi All-Stars, et. al. could all be cut and no one would miss 'em. That would have allowed for some great extended jams. Hopefully Volume II is going to be more intelligently sequenced and better jams will be chosen. I played a friend's copy of this CD and I am so glad I didn't fork out the (somewhat excessive) asking price for this CD ...I give this three stars for effort, but it's really more like 2-3/4 stars... Rating: - Worth Every Penny! 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.
