On this edition of All Songs Considered, host Bob Boilen examines some of the highlights from this enormous festival, along with Rita Houston of WFUV in New York, Andy Uhler of KUT in Austin and Jill Riley of Minnesota Public Radio's The Current. Each night at Bonnaroo, after webcasting and broadcasting a dozen concerts, the four got together to share their favorite performances.
