I began this morning doing a little Bonnaroo shopping. Once I was out of cash, I watched The Slip put on a show at one of the smaller stages here at Bonnaroo. I like the way The Slip's Bard Barr made his acoustic guitar sound like a roaring Fender Strat one moment, and like a regular acoustic the next.
Then I was off to catch Mavis Staples. No way I was missing her, and I shot a video that I'm currently uploading for you; I'll add it in later when it's ready.

She was in fine voice, and really got the crowd (a nice mix of old and young) into her show. She seemed a bit tired to me when she was done; she left it all out for her fans. Mavis had everybody shouting "I'll Take You There" at full volume. He band was very tight, esp. her guitarist.
I also saw the last few songs of the John Butler Trio's set. That guy can can play a sweet guitar.
I hear Wolfmother starting up in the backgroud, so that's my cue to sign off for now!
