Tennessee 2004 is a live album by the experimental rock band Praxis, released in 2007 but recorded at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival near Manchester, Tennessee during the early morning hours of June 12, 2004.[4]

This album features core Praxis members Bill Laswell, Buckethead and Brain, in addition to keyboardist Bernie Worrell.

An extended recording of that show, including tracks that are missing from the 2007 CD release, is available as a paid download from the Bonnaroo website.[5]
