Lloyd tells stories of writing and recording Marquee Moon, including why drummer Billy Ficca appears orange on the cover art. “Billy liked health food, but he ate too many carrots,” he remembers with a chuckle. “We were telling him, ‘Stop! You’re turning orange!’ And he kept eating them.”

Before the gang sits down with Lloyd, however, there’s some very important Bonnaroo news to break down: the lineup of Outeroo/Where in the Woods. The gang dissects the announcement, finding time to sneak in some Bonnaroolette phone calls along the way.
