Derek Trucks. Susan Tedeschi. Chaka Khan. Taj Mahal. Eric Krasno. Adam Deitch. Karl Denson. Ben Folds. Nigel Hall. Ryan Zoidis. Benny Bloom… No, that’s not just a list of some of our favorite artists, it’s the lineup for the incredible 2014 Bonnaroo Superjam which took place eight years ago today. Beginning at midnight in “That Tent” after a sweltering day on The Farm, the Trucks-led set saw appearances by all these amazing artists and more throughout two-plus hours of sing-along classics and electric musical collaboration.

From the set’s introduction by comedian Hannibal Buress (who led the crowd in an emphatic a cappella rendition of “I Believe I Can Fly”) to the all-in Sly and the Family Stone cover that capped the encore, the Derek Trucks Superjam in 2014 remains lodged in our collective memories as one of the most exciting in a long line of incredible Bonnaroo Superjams.
