Customer Reviews of 270 Miles from Graceland - Live from Bonnaroo 2003

Great music, but not as good as last year's installment
To those who don't know too much about Bonnaroo and the importance of it, I say one thing: "buy everything with the Bonnaroo name on it!" You'd be hard pressed to find any better collection of music than any of the 3 CD's (one single disc and two double's) or either of the double DVD sets. This is modern music's Woodstock. Along with all the classic acts' opportunity to show the world why acts like The Dead, Allman Brothers and James Brown have been entertaining millions for decades.

This DVD features great song highlights by groups like Ben Harper, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Jack Johnson, The Roots, The Dead, Flaming Lips, Allman Brothers Band and James Brown among many others. The only complaint I have is that with this 2003 DVD the video director took a lot of artistic liberties which draw away slightly from the enjoyment of the pure musicianship that was the sole focus of last year's Bonnaroo 2002 DVD. Aside from this minor difference the DVD still highlights the great performances and the over-all enjoyment of all involved with this festival on behalf of both performers and audience alike. This a must have great music/festival DVD that should only be passed up for only one reason: Buying the 2002 DVD first. -peace

melifluous aesthetics
An amazing cinemagraphic accomplishment pushing the window of documentry is the new Bonnaroo DVD. The festival was a beautiful array of sights as well as music and Danny Clinch did an amazing job of capturing the entire experience. The editing, shots, and setups heightened the feel of being there. Sequences such as the last part of the polyphonic spree scene are so well done with the editing. Truly an artistic film to take the viewer beyond the music and incorporate all there could be to see in Manchester Tennessee. As far as some bands not being on the list, hey some contracts suck (Neil Young not being apart of any compilations), time allotted sucks, but the film stands just as strong without some of artists we all love. I've been to Bonnaroo and I can say this video is worth having and watchin hundreds of times over.

Bonnaroo 2003
I was so bummed out when I got my Bonnaroo DVD in the mail. Where was Ziggy Marley, ekoostik hookah, Neil Young and Keller. Definately give thumbs down on the director of this documentary. It was like he wasn't even at the festival and just picked random artists performances. How could you put one of Ben Harper's oldest songs on the DVD. He had just come out with a new album that year but the director decided to put some old tune that wasn't even Harper's greatest works. I hope this year alot of negative feedback gets to the write people so we get a better idea of how Bonnaroo was for those who can't make it.
