John Paul Jones has become this Bonnaroo's Les Claypool -- the musician you can't help but see. After jamming bluegrass troupe Uncle Earl on Day Two, as well as Ben Harper and the Roots' ?uestlove during last night's SuperJam, the producer and former Led Zeppelin bassist reteamed with Harper for the latter's Day Three set. The two, accompanied by Harper's full band, tackled Zep's 'Dazed and Confused,' pushing the song to its spacey limits.

Harper later invited Ziggy Marley to the stage for a rendition of Marley's father's reggae anthem, 'Get Up, Stand Up.' Earlier in the performance, Harper called Bonnaroo "the best festival in the world," no doubt in thanks to collaborations such as this.
