The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is an annual four day music festival. On June 13th 2008, the band performed for the fifth time at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, they performed a near four hour set on Which Stage, starting at midnight on Friday. The performance featured guest appearances by Kirk Hammett of Metallica and comedian Zach Galifianakis, as well as the Nashville-Louisville horns.
In an interview with the New York Post published on October 10th James explained that during this festival the band attempted to play every song in their catalog.
"We were told to play as long as we wanted. We knew we had to make it special, so our desire was to play everything we ever recorded."
However, according to the same interview, the band is not that fond of the sun and as the five-hour mark neared, the sun came up and the band called it quits. Thirty-five songs were performed during the marathon set though, including many covers (e.g. Erykah Badu's Tyrone, Kool and the Gang's Get Down on It, Sly and the Family Stone's Hot Fun in the Summertime, James Brown's Cold Sweat, Bobby Womack's Across 110th Street, Funkadelic's Hit It and Quit It, Velvet Underground's Oh! Sweet Nuthin, and Mötley Crüe's Home Sweet Home), and all but two tracks (Look at You and Remnants) of Evil Urges.
