Bruce Springsteen at MGMT Bonnaroo 2009

[saodmv]

of course he shows up for their worst song live

[DetrockCitie]

They are horrible live

[NoCussingClub]

MGMT are such fucking hasbeens. Fuck Bruce Springstein too. At least he had the good sense to wear earplugs.

[auteur116]

@NoCussingClub how can a band be hasbeens if they've only released two albums?

[smckamey]

MGMT is one of the best acts out there right now. Thanks for posting - I regret missing this show, but I'm just too damn old.

[1966brian]

I'm older than you and I was there. =)

[vonrocket1]

I was at the moe show. They jammed till 7am and grace potter played for a hour in the middle of the set. Check them out next time. they sing their songs and everything.

[grungethequeen]

OMFG the feds were totally all over the mgmt show.

one standing right next to me.

[rohnaldino518]

this was a sick ass show... there was crowd surfing teletubbies at one point too, i guess they missed that in the video hah

[xunheardapologyx]

i dont see bruce in this video???

[XnotAcitizenX]

Bruce is the guy you see starting at :07 in the video wearing the green army hat holding his ears.

[tbrown33]

looks like they recruited andrew wk to play lead guitar

[ConsequenceofSound1]

Bruce is so indie.

[jtdiver]

Are they lip-synching? The guitarists isn't playing - and the lead singer puts his head down with all the words. And the audio sounds exactly like the studio version.

Would MGMT really do that at Bonnaroo?

[auburnguy32]

Idk, they were cleaning up all the leftover bruce at the main stage so they tried packing 30,000 people in this sardine can of a tent for mgmt.

I left after weekend wars because the sound was too quiet and I got tired of having people's shit all up in my face...

NIN and Moe. were nice though

[ilenaed]

They weren't lip-syncning. I was in the front row of the show so I could def. tell. Andrew also came out and sang part of of birds moons and monsters for sound check before yeasayer. They def. didn't! :)

[mattlabinski]

they can't be lip-synching, listen to any of the videos on here of them doing Kids. His voice is off in a lot of parts, would still love to see them live though, seems like it would be a real party!

[OKquinn]

bruce was there...holeh random

[davidwatts1978]

I was right behind you as well, I thought it was terrible, really rubbish, we left, over hyped cobblers

[tiger5712]

you were the only one I know that thought they were bad. try standing in front of the speakers next time so you can hear their full sound better? VIP ftl.

[slantzy]

Exactly! We were in front of the speakers and the sound was phenomenal! There wasn't a person I could see who wasn't having the time of their lives.

[Ipat42]

I was behind you in the VIP area right behind the one your at. It was nice, but the sound wasn't the best and you had people talking which took away from the epicness.. it was still amazing though.

I think I was the only dude twirling glowsticks in VIP, LOL

[paconantucket]

Oh man.. Yeasayer followed by MGMT rocked my face. My mind was blown by the two shows. There were 20 minute periods where I was just losing myself in the music and dancing, when I would come to I would have remember nothing but dancing in music.

[auburnguy32]

by dance do you mean crowd surf? I couldn't move an inch

[mikeyyyc]

thats unfortunate. everyone around me was dancing too. and Yeasayer was also fucking incredible

[malmcmac]

I was there! Backstage, literally right behind you probably. That was an awesome show!

[janma2]

medications and MGMT what a show!

[ChrisCrosbie]

i danced so hard at this show, MGMT thanke bruce for opening the show , it was funny shit

[awaytogrey]

haha Hell yeah. That show was absolutely amazing. I'm in the crowd shot, but you can't see me. I was standing right in that area though.

[kmhutchy]

i love your little description :-)
