I’ll just come out and say it right now – I had my single coolest Bonnaroo moment ever last night.  I think the picture says it all.

Maybe the Greatest Moment of Brad's Life

Yep, I know what you’re thinking – there are two wild and crazy guys…

Steve has a wonderful project called Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers and the band put on a wonderful performance last night.  I wandered backstage about a half hour before they were supposed to go on, and there they are, just warming up.  Steve Martin was an absolute gentleman.  He seemed a bit shy and reserved, but again, a total gentleman to any jerk (no pun intended) who came up asking for a photo.  One of those magical Bonnaroo moments that will last a lifetime.

Other musical highlights from the evening:  checking out Black Keys and Tori Amos from backstage, a high-energy performance from Michael Franti & Spearhead, and seeing The National perform.

We’ve posted more photos here.
