Bonnaroo 2009 was a few weeks ago and although I am a little late to the game I wanted to honor the greatest music festival in the world with a few Bonnaroo posts, followed by a podcast from one of this year's acts.

The first post I have is an amazing high quality video stream of The Raconteurs performance in 2008. I am really amazed that the website has kept this streaming video alive for over a year and hopefully it will not go away any time soon.

This show features a band that I’ve been listening to quite a bit lately called Backyard Tire Fire. This hardworking Midwestern rock and roll band plays honest music for the everyman, as you might expect with a name like Backyard Tire Fire. I was able to see these guys open for Grace Potter last November and despite the annoyance of the fire alarm going off several times, they put on an awesome performance. Fortunately the concert I have for you does not have any alarms. With so many great recordings on archive.org it was tough picking out just one, but special thanks go out to the band’s manager for kindly directing me to this one.

In case you missed this on fuse last Monday, Hulu is streaming the full Dave Matthews Band concert from the Beacon Theater. Despite Dave's noticeably strained vocal chords during a couple of the songs the band puts on an amazing show mixing in classic hits and new tracks from their latest release: Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.
