This thread is about the 1 hr gap between Stevie and Jay-Z where nothing is happening. All speculation as why the gap is there, and what they want people to do during this time can go here.
Isn't this when Conan is MCing? Maybe we'll get a short Conan set. I don't see why they can't fix the man up with a mic while they set up Jay-Z's elaborate stage. (btw anyone else feeling a bit of deja vu from 08? I think we all remember what it was like setting up another elaborate stage set up...)
i was thinkin conan would introduce the big acts fri and sat night, pre-headliners on. he may do some short little monologue or somethin, but i dont think we get a conan set or anything in between

Plus when you think about it Jay-Z is black, so really there is little chance he shows up before 2.
A Thieve's Parade 2/24 Conspirator 2/26 Kevin Smith 3/11 Keller 3/17 Papadosio 3/18 JJ Grey 3/25 Bela Fleck/Edgar Meyer 3/26 Toubab Krewe 3/27 O'Death 4/11 Budos Band 4/22 EOTO 4/28 Summer Camp 5/6-29 All Good
i dont think jay z has the same reputation as that other person. i think the time is just for them to set up. an hour is really not that long. jay z may end up running a bit late but i think it will be for legit reasons. im not a jay z fan but i dont see that happening with him.
1. this gives Stevie plenty of buffer time if he happens to play a little over 2. time to remove all of Stevie's band equip 3. time to set up Jay-Z and band
an hour is really not much time for 2 major acts to move in and out

no shit? I'm pointing out that there will be nothing for everyone to do for an hour in primetime on Saturday. I don't really think that's acceptable at a festival when half the time 4 bands I want to see are playing at once.
Show me a time EVER that the schedule had an hour off of music on a Friday or Sat evening.... crimany at any time for the four days after 1pm.
The Police didn't play close to their scheduled set time, leaving at least an hour where nothing else was going on. (I'm sure Superfly knew that the Police weren't going to play a 2 1/2 hour set as scheduled.) Also, there was an hour after Radiohead was scheduled to finish before anything else was slated to start.
I'm a little annoyed at this also, but I think the reason they did it is that Jay-Z is of sufficient stature that they want to encourage people to stick around for his set, rather than immediately wander off to whatever else might be going on. If you absolutely must see something though, go check out Jonathan Sexton, or go dance at the Lunar Stage, or head to the Cinema or Silent Disco. Maybe go check out the pod art, or the Brooers Tent, or the poster art, or any of the other million awesome things that are always going on at Bonnaroo.
I agree that it's unfortunate that there are so many conflicts and then an hour of no major acts, but don't expect that to change, say with an surprise act or superjam on the Which stage or something. This gap is intentionally put in there by Superfly, and it's not going away.

My hypothesis is that they are gonna make Stevie Wonder take down the equipment by himself, alone in blind oblivion. That would take awhile. maybe they will hire the lady who played Ray Charles's mom to stand over him and yell, "Don't help him, he gotta learn on his own!"

Pretty condifent that the point of the thread has nothing to do with the hour on What. The point is that there is nothing else going on in any tents or on which for an hour. This is the odd part... especially for an Saturday night.

so you think they are going to schedule something just for that hr.?
I doubt anything actually goes on the schedule at this point.... It does seem weird to have silence on the farm for an hour though on a Saturday night so Im guessing something will be happening
stevie longer collab with HOVA Conan between u2 with bono on a gurney
What schedule are you people looking at? The schedule I have in front of me shows The comedy Tent, Troo Music Lounge, Solar Stage, and the Lunar Stage all busy with acts between 10:30-11:30.
