    MOD EDIT: This is now the official Bonnaroo 2015 discussion thread. Here is the original post pertaining solely to kendrick:

    I had the pleasure of seeing King Kendrick last night at Bonnaroo. So far no show has had as much hype going in or a bigger crowd and he delivered for every last person there. This was my second time seeing him and frst time in over a year and he has progressed tremendously. If you haven't seen him live yet it is an absolute. He started with a lot of GKMC to get the crowd hyped up and ended with TPAB. King Kunta, Maad city, an alright were definitely the highlights of the show but not a single weak moment the whole show

    Sorry for the quality I was more into the dancing than filming, but here you go guys. This was the very first song and the crowd was already into it immediately. I didnt take anymore pictures or videos while I was there as I said wasn't to focused on the filming but I did want to be able to share some of my experience with you guys

    I was there too, he had one of the best crowds at the festival by far. Very glad i got to hear some new stuff cuz I'd seen him twice already.

    Gotta give best overall show to D'Angelo though.

    I went to Roo this year, too. Saw Atmosphere, Gambino, and Kendrick (among others, but I'll stick to the rap). Kendrick's crowd was f---ing crazy. We were pretty close to the stage, and it took my girlfriend and I about 10 minutes to get out of the crowd because she couldn't breathe because of how many people were surrounding us + she's incredibly short lol. We stayed there for about 40 minutes. It was f---ing crazy. People around me were snorting molly and coke, and the other dude next to me mistook me for his friend so he was talking to me about this trip he's having, until he pauses and realizes I'm not his friend.. then proceeds to tell another person about his trip, and also realizes it's not his friend.

    Kendrick himself was pretty dope, too. He played the 2nd part of MAAD City, then went into some other songs, then played the first part and everyone got hyped. He played his verse off f---in' Problems twice. Once with the actual beat, and secondly with an old west coast sounding beat. It was dope.

    I'll check to see if my girlfriend has any videos.

    Waited 11 hours to be front row for Kendrick, and it was pretty f---ing dope. I've never seen him alive and he played a lot of my favorite songs like Art of Peer Pressure which was dope.(i felt like the only person who knew that song existed much less the words too it) I was disappointed a bit by the fact that he was performing more for the hype and party environment, like playing mAAd city 20 times over and over lol. Overall it was f---ing awesome and there was a moment when we locked eyes and I immediately:dead: no h---

    Too many to count! RTJ, Mac DeMarco, Flylo, SZA, Sylvan Esso...Glass Animals did a cover of Love Lockdown which was dope, but their whole show had pretty bad sound.

    Slayer was really fun even though I'm not really a metal fan.

    Freddie Gibbs brought out Chance and he rapped over Chance doing his "na na" which was super cool. Gibbs was also really wasted because it was his birthday which was hilarious.

    My only regrets show-wise are missing Rubblebucket completely and not seeing more of Earth, Wind, and Fire.

    edit: btw I changed this to a general Bonnaroo topic, hope you don't mind!

    @SamEyeAm @nilbog did you guys catch any of Mick Jenkins' set at the Miller Lite Lounge? I only saw the first half cuz it was a really small stage and I got there right when it started cuz I was coming from Freddie Gibbs, but he was dope. Wish I could have stayed longer but there was only standing room in the sun and my girlfriend wanted to go to florence + the machine. Def gonna try to catch him again when he comes to my area.

    Funny you say that, their set had bad sound at Sasquatch as well. I was disappointed.

    Sylvan Esso also was one of my favorites as well at Sasquatch

    I wish I had gone to Sasquatch this year, but I couldn't afford both Roo and Squatch. It was a blast last year...the Gorge is the GOAT venue.
