Tucked away backstage at Bonnaroo, buried beneath a stack of hay bales, is a room where artists duck out of the weekend's madness to play stripped-down versions of their songs. The Hay Bale Sessions will lead you through a secret doorway where you can join artists to watch these pure and intimate performances.

Filmed and Edited by Andrew Rowley from Slacker Radio

Bonnaroo 2013 takes place June 13th to 16th in Manchester, TN.

The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is four of the best days ever. 80,000 happy campers. 700 acres of Tennesee nature. 150 epic performances. 10+ stages of music. Several dozen comedians. An escape into excitement. Music. Art. Discoveries.

But Bonnaroo is more than a music festival. If you love music, laughter, animals, dance parties, coolness, friends and good stuff, Bonnaroo 365 will keep you feeling the vibe all year round. Enter a world of music discovery, incredible characters, soulful inspiration, and flat-out ridiculousness. Most importantly, be sure to join in on the fun, conversation, and free stuff.

Bonnaroo 365 - Your year round ticket to performances, artists, happiness, adventures, nirvana, couscous, over-joyousness, sharing, dancing, hyperbolic verbiage, system overload...

"The Grand Optimist"I fear I'll die from complications, complications due to things that I've left undoneThat all my debts will be left unpaid, feel like a cripple without a caneI'm like a jack of all trades who’s a master of noneThen there's my father he's always looking on the bright sideSaying things like “Son life just ain’t that hard”He is the grand optimist, I am the world’s poor pessimistYou give him burdens sometimes and he will escape unscarredI guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my motherBut I used to be quite resilient, gained no strength from counting the beads on a rosaryAnd now the wound has begun to turn, another lesson that has gone unlearnedBut this is not a cry for pity or for sympathyI guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my motherI guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother

Good, great, and amazing aren't good enough words to describe this song.

Relax. He is—or was obviously a fan of Alexisonfire. Dallas was part of that band, but left...together with their guitarist I believe. He's just stating his opinion on the matter.

I liked this even before I watched it, out of sheer respect for Dallas Green.

If you really, really, REALLY wanna have this discussion on every single video that involves this amazing human being and musician, fine. Dallas did NOT ruin Alexisonfire, if someone did in fact ruin the band, it was Wade. But every single member was moving on and in other directions, and it was for the best. And you've had the chance to see them live for many final shows the last months too haven't you? :)
