One of the more unusual visitors to this year’s Bonnaroo festival was Jimi Hendrix’s wah-wah pedal, which was purchased for $15,000 and brought to the event to raise awareness for restoring New Orleans. Click above to watch Jack Johnson try to absorb the power of the pedal by rubbing it on his face.

Rolling Stone caught up with Gogol Bordello’s eccentric leader Eugene Hutz before he hopped (literally) onstage at Bonnaroo. Take a look at the gypsy punks’ pre-show rituals while Hutz serenades us with a medley of fantastically oddball acoustic tunes.

We salute you, citizens of the ‘Roo. To wrap up our Bonnaroo 2007 coverage, we offer this Rock Daily montage of fan antics, featuring special appearances by the Ice Cream Man, Regina Spektor, hippie hula-hoopers, and assorted other good-natured freaky people.

Saturday was another extraordinary day for the temporary residents of Planet Bonnaroo, thanks to standout performances by The Flaming Lips, Ween, Gogol Bordello, Franz Ferdinand and so many more. But one show towered above the rest: Hundreds of fans waited in line all day at the main stage or, “What Stage,” in ‘Roo parlance (as opposed to the Which Stage, That Tent, and This Tent), hoping to gain admission to the area closest to the feet of The Police. Finally, the gate was opened for these dedicated festival goers about 40 minutes before the legendary trio commenced their set. Rolling Stone talked with a few of these fans as the excitement was mounting… and mounting… and mounting. And, of course, we stuck around for the show as well.

Check back Monday for a full festival roundup.
