Bonnaroo 2008 - Battles -- Atlas

[niloc141414]

i love battles

[bbrigg1]

Audio makes me want to blow my brains out.

[willybainter]

wee ooo wee ooo

[psych0funk]

This was AMAZING! I was right there up on the stage for this :)

[rideincircles]

No matter what sound problems this show had, they still killed it. I have the complete video of this song and the first 12 minutes of their set in my videos also.

[ihatepoorppl]

Thank you so much for uploading! This show and particularly this song blew my fucking mind. Fortunately was near the front and have never heard the Battles so that made me have no complaints about the sound. Just had an amazing time!!

[acb13222]

This was the most disappointing show of Bonnaroo. The sound was so horribly messed up during this show. I was getting angry with the sound crews at this point. (and yes I know what this song is supposed to sound like)

[blancolighter]

Agreed. It wasn't a quater as loud as it should have been. They played great, too bad no one could hear them

[zeiartvy]

the sound was really low on the mic but he still sounded amazing

[hoppipolla1111]

dude yah...if you guys knew battles you'd know it's supposed to be distorted

[muzacInmyBlood]

Yeah, his mic was most definitely meant to sound really distorted. Just listen to the cd. I'm not sure what everyone is talking about. I was about 5 rows back and everything sounded perfect.

[meatwad9]

Their improv was horrible. I was so excited to see this but ended up walking off for K'Naan / Galifianakis

[jpwarren123]

the mic was supposed to sound broken up and weird..listen to the recording on the album. i dont remember any actual mic problems other than the instruments drowned him out

[cornonthecobbob]

i was front row on the left side for this show and was completely blown away despite the sound problems. i actually went and bought their cd at the tent later in during the weekend and this that's it's pretty good.

[ascrane]

Yeah, this show definitely had sound issues. The vocalist's mic was breaking up but he didn't seem to have problem with it. It was also almost impossible to distinguish their instruments throughout the set. I was probably looking forward to this show the most but they didn't seem to have it together. :( Maybe next time.

[rcburgess89]

Didn't know who they were, but they put on a hell of a show, I think on Friday...Fucking sick.

[cialkowski]

OMFG!!!! I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY BY THIS F-ING SHOW!!! I think i saw my arm near the beginning to the right of the stage, idk but i was on the gate in front of tyondai (who is an extreme bad ass on vocals)

[blueboyspaz26]

This was a great show except their vocals were f-ed up and the Bassist was frustrated most of the time with his amp. They I think could have been 10x's better if they hadn't had sound issues.

[thepants2000]

totally agree with jude999 and sparta04. another great start to a great 'roo.

[WRLTLightning100]

This was in my top 5 shows of the roos.

[cialkowski]

agreed with lightning, the others were MGMT, MSTRKRFT, Tiento, and a three way tie between MIA/Pearl Jam/Disco Biscuits

[seeeasick]

Faaaaantasic.

[jude999]

First time hearing these guys at the Roo. Amazing concert; best show besides Pearl Jam. I agree with Spartan04. I just listened to them on Amazon and its not as good. I hope this concert ends up on itunes.

[Sparta04]

This show was fucking amazing. What a great way to kick off roo

[brokenjawbone]

ahh i must have been around the same place in the crowd as you were. a couple rows ahead

[Crede06]

It looks like they've grown in popularity in the last year. Wow

[erter99]

This song is actually called "Atlas" ... just fyi ...

[riphe2134]

howd you get this up so fast?

[WRLTLightning100]

We're good like that.
