Bonnaroo Relive Bonnaroo '08 for Free at Bonnaroo.com

While we eagerly await an announcement on this year's Bonnaroo lineup, the folks over at bonnaroo.com have announced a new series called Bonnaroo 365,
a program by which fans can relive the festival experience year round. Select performances will be streamed at no charge on Bonnaroo periodically throughout the year. All performance footage will be taken directly from the festival's exclusive master tapes while the audio will be remixed from the festival's pristine soundboard recordings.The debut installment of the program will begin on January 11, 2009 with The Raconteurs, whose furious and blistering Friday afternoon set is viewed as among the best of the 2008 event.
I'm willing to bet Lars Ulrich threw a shit-fit when he caught wind of any 'Roo set besides his own being described as "furious" and "blistering." I seem to recall him using those words to describe a Basquiat painting or something. Anyway, if you're like me then it would probably take three or four hits of LSD to truly "relive the festival experience," and if you're like a lot of my friends then there's a good chance you missed your favorite band's set while looking for your keys in the camping area or hiding from imaginary Kanye gnomes--the perceived ubiquity of which proving too much to handle--in Center Roo. Either way, it's the music that matters right? The 'Roo site has provided a preview MP3 of the Raconteurs "Consoler of the Lonely." Take a listen after the jump.
