Bonnaroo 2007, Day Two: Ben Harper, Roots, Led Zeppelin SuperJam! Plus: Lily Allen on Xanax

6/16/07, 4:50 pm EST

What a crazy day at Bonnaroo. Though Friday was Day Two at the Tennessee festival, it marked the moment when Bonnaroo officially went off the hook. Lily Allen popped a Xanax (before her set) and drank half a bottle of Jagermeister (during her set) but neither pharmaceuticals nor excess quantity of alcohol could deter her from delivering one of the days hottest performances. (We caught up with her back at her bus, where Allen celebrated by plowing into a bag of Nacho Cheesier Doritos.) Elsewhere, Cold War Kids frontman Nathan Willett described to us how the kids at the ‘Roo lose their minds, and the Roots covered “Roxanne” in anticipation of the Police’s Saturday gig. Tool closed the main stage, unveiling an insane laser show, but the highlight of the day (in fact, it was the wee hours of Saturday morning) was the annual SuperJam, which this year featured Ben Harper, Led Zep bassist John Paul Jones and Roots drummer ?uestlove, who smoked out snippets of Zep classics like “Immigrant Song,” “When the Levee Breaks” and “Good Times, Bad Times.” Check out the highlights, and stay tuned to RollingStone.com for updates all weekend.

sountribe sector 9 was the best show hands down of the entire festival…. bonnaroo is the most incredible experience i have ever lived through and i just hope that it does not become too mainstream… the hippies are what makes it what it is and i hope it stays that way

I stayed for about the first 20-30 minutes of the superjam, but left because it was so bad. They sounded really uncomfortable playing with one another, and would just fumble around for a while before going into a zeppelin song and getting really excited, then trailing off again and doing it all over. I love zeppelin, but hearing john paul “jamming” by playing his bass lines from over 30 years ago was severely disappointing.

I haven’t gotten anything done today. My life’s been dull today, but shrug. I can’t be bothered with anything recently, but oh well. I’ve just been sitting around doing nothing. What can I say? So it goes.

More or less nothing seems important. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me recently. I can’t be bothered with anything recently, but such is life. My life’s been generally bland today. Not much on my mind these days, but eh.
