Stevie Wonder galvanized Bonnaroo with a sweaty, irresistible nighttime performance, an act that headliner Jay-Z followed with torrid, flawless bombast. Jay-Z and Wonder were perhaps the two biggest acts to perform back-to-back at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, which closed Sunday night with the Dave Matthews Band. The two took the Bonnaroo main stage in succession on Saturday, pumping the festival crowd - some 75,000 in total - full of energy. Each performance was a remarkable individual showcase. Wonder played a career-spanning concert that was roundly viewed as a festival highlight. The R andB legend frequently led the crowd in sing-alongs, informing the audience that they were now “a Stevie Wonder group of voices.” “I'm going to be your teacher,” he said, before cautioning, “Don't mess up my words.” Other acts Saturday included Weezer, Jack White's the Dead Weather, Norah Jones and a middle-of-the-night set by the jam band Disco Biscuits. Conan O'Brien introduced the Dead Weather, with whom he has a close connection. O'Brien has been emceeing the Bonnaroo main stage and twice performed his “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television” comedy show.
