By Charley Rogulewski of MOG Finally at 4:30AM, the latest (or earliest, which ever way you see it) a main stage act has ever started at Bonnaroo, West came on without any apology. Normally an hour and half, the set only ran an hour with West taking out his usual "Hey Mama" tribute and focusing more on Graduation tracks.
