In addition to our intrepid reporter’s real-time efforts to keep you vicariously updated from afar, we’ve combed over the ol’ YouTube Device to provide youse with some actual video from the 2007 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. There’s a growing mound of moving images and sound to devour, and a whole slew of shit follows after the jump. But first, there’s this item of business…

We’ve also stumbled upon a treasure trove of uploaded webcast captures, so if seven minutes of video doesn’t do it for you — and it rarely does — feel free to rifle through these links here to download the sets you’d like to see. Many thanks to PT’s Schwagg for putting this together: Wilco, Flaming Lips, The White Stripes, Widespread Panic, The Hold Steady, Brazilian Girls, Gillian Welch, The Roots, Wolfmother, Mago (w/ John Medeski & Billy Martin), Kings of Leon, Xavier Rudd, John Butler Trio, String Cheese Incident, RatDog (Part I, Part II), and Old Crow Medicine Show. Read on below for YouTubes…
