New Orleans at Bonnaroo

Sounds like “Somethin’ Else,” the New Orleans-themed club didn’t go quite as planned. From the New York Times:

There were misfires. The New Orleans tent had a $5 cover charge to be donated to various nonprofits, but on top of Bonnaroo’s ticket price — more than $200 —it backfired. Fewer people heard excellent musicians like the pianist Henry Butler, or the late-night jam sessions led by George Porter Jr. of the Meters; with a bigger crowd a tip jar might have collected more donations. And like most outdoor festivals Bonnaroo suffers from sound bleed: music from one stage carrying to another. Sigur Ros was openly perturbed by the hip-hop thump across the field.
