For his main stage set Saturday night at Bonnaroo, Jack Johnson got into the spirit of peace and love that the festival is so well known for, in theory anyway, by acknowledging a sign in the audience that said "Free Hugs!" Pointing it out to the rest of the 70,000 fans, Johnson said, sincerely, "You're just so far away -- I would hug you, but I can't do it."Johnson spread the love onstage as well, not only giving his bandmate (and A.L.O. keyboardist) Zach Gill plenty of spotlight time, but also inviting special guest Money Mark to the stage for a version of 'Bad Weather' that segued briefly into a cover of 'Whole Lotta Love.' On it, Johnson used a wah-wah pedal that, he claimed, was loaned to him and has a special history -- it was originally Jimi Hendrix's.
Johnson continued his loving vibe by calling out to Pearl Jam fans by saying,
"I'm so excited to see Pearl Jam that I'm going to break the ice early." He then invited Eddie Vedder to the stage for an acoustic-duo performance of 'Constellations' that, later, Gill told Spinner, gave him chills.
