Portugal The Man - Opener - bonnaroo 09 6/11/09

[Corduroy1395]

No band. Performs live better than this band. I've been to so many shows. And no one can put on a show like these guys.

[Phabulouso]

Fuckin greatest live band to have ever shared this plain of existence.

[ThyBlob]

@rhodes1zachary damn just suck his dick already. geez.

[ThyBlob]

Zack Galifinakis!!! oh wait its Jason.

[shoulderkolibri]

Who's the girl on the keyboard playing and singing with them on the second song lol?

[systemofa20]

zoe manville.

[systemofa20]

the drummer looks like Allen from the Hangover :DDD

[conquertoascend]

@systemofa20

during the acoustic set the next day, my buddy yelled out that he looked like him.. he looked less than thrilled, haha. his name is zach galifinakis btw.

[systemofa20]

haha, that's awesome!why do they always switch drummers? it's him and a couple other guys i always see. i'm seeing portugal in march :]

[vfactor2]

The other guy is Garrett Lunceford, he replaced Jason Seachrist for a short period of time while Jason was busy with other personal things, but Jason is back as their drummer now, and it will stay that way.

[lukemsjammin12]

[naokoss]

[hxpe]

what a brilliant band. saw this show at the roo def in my top 3. also got to meet them after their acoustic set super nice and humble.

[DTsuperhero]

one of the best, if not the best show i have ever seen. their are really cool guys too.

[superdanks77]

At 7:43 you can see weed smoke rising from somebody's joint hahaha.

[GhostCatLulz]

or any type of smoke rising from anything on earth that creates smoke....

[easytoremember33]

@GhostCatLulz

I was there. I guarantee you there were more joints going around than cigarettes.

[PeaceLoveEquality]

fuck yes

[burnesmith2]

Fucking beautiful

[R2D2]

fill me up with money gold, ain't nobody ever needs me

[mendez03965]

wish i could have gone to this show.....well to this festival did anyone get to hangout with John and the gang

[easytoremember33]

i did!!!! the second day before their acoustic set, they came out early and hung out with the fans. super cool guys!

[iamabomination2]

The guys I was with got their toy piano signed by them and chatted with them for a bit. I was a bit late getting to their second (acoustic) set to hang out with them though. Shit sucks

[easytoremember33]

@iamabomination2

I saw that happen! That's how we figured out they were in the band. Between these two sets, this band provided the best festival experience I've ever ever had.

[daza182]

sell me, i'm a skeptical boy.

[skawldyting]

Right on!! I'm so glad I walked into that show!! It was fucking awesome. One of the best of the weekend for sure.

[Itzthechase]

this was my first show EVER ;]]

so gald it was them and at bonnaroo :]]]

i was trippin so bad...

it was an amazing set.

thank you for posting :]]]

[pathaas1]

I was there

[mrsvlta]

i love your bonnaroo videos so much.

[phillylele]

one of thier best performances

soo badass!

[SWAC424]

John Gourley you sly devil you! You can really whale/ we should guitar battle. I swear I'm shittier then Thomas Erak.

[joeytmnd]

I was right in the front on the railing!!! Such an amazing show. Hands down best performance at Bonnaroo 2009!!

[hussan4505]

One is the loneliest number....amazing!!!!!!

[crumblesrutheford]

MORE MO MO!

[JeeshGsh]

Yeah, I had never heard these guys before this set. Was my Bonnaroo opener and I absolutely loved it. I'm not sure I appreciated how special it really was after hearing from you guys who are prior fans. I'm a fan now and will be looking for Portugal. The Man in a town near me :-) This night was amazing! The Low Anthem followed Portugal. The Man and they were fantastic as well. Zac Brown Band impressed me too.

[BobbGnarley]

this was my favorite performance of the roo.....maybe because this showed kicked off the event, maybe it was from the drugs, or maybe it was because PTM kicks ass..... maybe a combination of the three

[uncleruckus516]

my 8th time seeing them. they're always confident when they play live but this show was special. the jaming was unbelievable. john's guitar and vocal skills seemed to have really improved.

[JPDigi]

Portugal. absolutely owned this set, they blew so many minds, including mine. I'll be catching them live again soon I hope. I have their albums but this just killed. Great vid.

[JeeshGsh]

Yeah. More!!!! I won't this whole thing, like the dude who posted The Mars Volta joint. I was here. My first Bonnaroo show ever and these guys killed it, birthed me :-)

[PeaceLoveEquality]

This is amazing. Thank you! Did you get anything of the Portugal. The Man show?

[JeeshGsh]

Sorry PeaceLoveEquality, but what do you think this is? Not meaning to be an ass.  I love you.

[PeaceLoveEquality]

Hahaa oh shoot. I meant to write 'did you get anything more from the Portugal. The Man show?' My mistake. I love you too.

[JeeshGsh]

I hope someone did bro.  I love this shit. Wanna relive it.

[PeaceLoveEquality]

I know. I wish I was there... After that review from the WSJ, I almost died. They're beautiful.

[JeeshGsh]

What review from the WSJ? What is that?
