Thursday night is a good time to discover talent at Bonnaroo, with outside-the-mainstream acts like indie-rockers Mute Math, neo-flamenco duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars. But the hot ticket –- or, rather, the cool one –- seems to be the Somethin’ Else tent, which features jazz acts like saxophonist Lou Donaldson and organist Lonnie Smith, and the Yet Another (Comedy) Tent, where comedian Lewis Black is holding court. Both had hundreds of people waiting in line to get into the air-conditioned tents.

“We heard the line was even longer for the first show,” said Faye Douthat of Saline, Mich., the last person in line to get into the comedy tent.

“The only thing funnier than Lewis Black is this line,” said Jay Stallworth of Mobile, Ala.
