[Smitty]

I would pick The Dead Weather over Prine

I've never got the chance to see Prine so I wouldn't pass it up, but in a festival setting Dead Weather would probably put on the better show, so either one I guess - I haven't took the time to listen to The Dead Weather yet but I haven't heard anything that Jack White's been involved with that I haven't liked so I'm sure I'll dig them - I can't stand Weezer anymore and I dig Jeff Beck alright but it'd have to be either Prine or Dead Weather

you are a lucky man!
lots of good things.
i am sure you will get a variety of opinions.
these are my choices....
some made for taste, some flavor ( to change it up a bit) some for rare opportunity to see that artist.
whatever you choose, have mad fun!

6:30 to 9 Zac Brown Band, Phoenix, Rise Against, Miranda Lambert, or MMW?i don't know what MMW stands for but if it is supposed to be MMJ, that is the choice.
if not. Phoenix if you dig trippy, otherwise miranda lambert all day. she has a very strong new album out, can play, writes good songs, has a powerful voice and is very cute.

[dee dee]

7:15-8:30Tori Amos, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, Les Claypool?

9:30-11:30 Kings of Leon or The Bakerton Group?

2:15-5:30 Deadmau 5, The Disco Biscuits, GWAR, or sleep?


3-4:30 Against Me, Jamey Johnson, or Blues Traveler?

& Kristofferson

With the exception of Jamey Johnson, that's how I'm leaning. I'm actually leaning towards Blues Traveler there although I'll probably let my son pick that one.

[dee dee]

I would pick The Dead Weather over Prine

I'm thinking about it, but man it is hard to see John Prine these days. Hate to miss him and an illegal smile would not be the same without him if he's available.

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

I wouldn't miss Dr. Dog!!!

I'm pretty sure I agree with you on the sleep thing. I'm betting my son wants to see Deadmau5 though.

Oh how I wish MMJ was playing... that would make the festival so much better. MMW is Mediski, martin, and Wood. Talented musicians but too much nooding and improv for me after 3 and 1/2 days of music. I have Phoenix's album but it just hasn't hit me, same with Miranda Lambert. I'm leaning towards Rise Against just because I think it will be super energetic and I'll be tired.... I've also heard Zac Brown is really good live, but the radio songs just make me ill.

And I've never seen Flaming Lips, but they are performing Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. I've started to enjoy Flaming Lips in certain moods, but no where near as much as I do Black Keys.

[dee dee]

I wouldn't miss Dr. Dog!!!

Agreed. I've just found them and have really enjoyed the new album. Have you seen them live? A friend of mine who is a jam band expert swears by them so I'm thinking they must be good live...

they are awesome, though I don't really think of them as a jam band. They write songs too well to be called a jam band

Right, that's why I thought they must be good live if they had his attention if that makes any sense

[Smitty]

7:15-8:30Tori Amos, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, Les Claypool?

9:30-11:30 Kings of Leon or The Bakerton Group?

Until 2:45 Big Sam's Funky Nation, Baaba Maal or Brandi Carlile?

6:45-8:15 The Dead Weather, Weezer, Jeff Beck, or John Prine

2:15-5:30 Deadmau 5, The Disco Biscuits, GWAR, or sleep?


3-4:30 Against Me, Jamey Johnson, or Blues Traveler?

& Kristofferson

With the exception of Jamey Johnson, that's how I'm leaning. I'm actually leaning towards Blues Traveler there although I'll probably let my son pick that one.

Just not a Blues Traveler fan at all - the only Against Me! track I've heard is their cover of OCMS's "Wagon Wheel"; I just don't think they'd be my thing. I loathe KOL and what I've heard of the Disco Biscuits

[garnersound]

i will be @ the silent disco all weekend, swing by and say hey.
i'm going to catch as much as i possibly can around the work part.
so stoked about stevie wonder and the nitty gritty dirt band.

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

go see Baaba Maal, unless you have an aversion to having your mind blown

Disco Biscuits and Blues Traveler: easily two of the worst bands I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. Just the thought of John "400 pounds of" Popper and his harmonica from hell makes me wanna puke.

I actually must be the only one on here who enjoys a little Blues Traveler. The only way I could enjoy Disco Biscuits is in a haze.

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

[I actually must be the only one on here who enjoys a little Blues Traveler.

I'm gonna do my best to not hold that agin' ya'

I would pick The Dead Weather over Prine

I'm thinking about it, but man it is hard to see John Prine these days. Hate to miss him and an illegal smile would not be the same without him if he's available.

[Smitty]

6:30 to 9 Zac Brown Band, Phoenix, Rise Against, Miranda Lambert, or MMW?<Personally, I'd do MMW, but Zac Brown band would probably be fun too.

[Jeremy]

I wouldn't miss Dr. Dog!!!

Agreed. I've just found them and have really enjoyed the new album. Have you seen them live? A friend of mine who is a jam band expert swears by them so I'm thinking they must be good live...

they are awesome, though I don't really think of them as a jam band. They write songs too well to be called a jam band

They play a ton of jamband festivals though, but agreed, def not a jamband.

And I like Gaslight anthem alot, but if you have seen them before and not the chocolate drops, check out the chocolate drops. They put on a great show. At that time of day too, i would go see the chocolate drops. Def Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers too. Wouldnt miss that. Too close go with MMW, nice and mellow and a good band. If I was on mushrooms, Disco Biscuits at 215, but if not then sleep. And cant say that langhorne slim would get me up and at it at 1245, Id skip him. Wasnt too impressed with his show. Id skip the national and eat some grub and get my energy ready for lcd soundsystem latenight, also another reason to skip langhorne slim in the morning. John Prine over Dead Weather. But hey, not too many bad decisions wherever you end up all weekend. I usually only do 1 must see a day and try and hit up different stuff all weekend.

Check out the screening of Secret to a Happy Ending, that will be cool.

[dee dee]

I'm going to go to Baaba Maal. John Prine wins out, although if i'm miserable hot I may go to see the DBT movie. I really like Neon Indian. Son likes Entrance Band, so I'm stuck there. My wife thinks I have about a .002 percent chance of getting lucky with Elizabeth Cook. Friday is going to be insane. The National, The Black Keys, LCD Soundsystem, Gaslight Anthem, and Dr. Dog on the same day. Oh, and I can't wait to see big the crowd is for The Bakerton Group (only other show during Kings of Leon). Someone mentioned how there is no other shows during Dave Matthews Band. I think there is a folk thing at the Solar Stage I may check out... or the NBA playoffs. But hate to finish off Roo by doing that. I'll prob check out DMB and people watch.

Anybody going, hope I can catch you. I'm really short (5'5" and shrinking), have a little bit of a belly, will be wearing my Todd Snider hat and will have my 17 year old son with me.

What happens at Bonnaroo, stays at Bonnaroo.

[Clams]

My wife thinks I have about a .002 percent chance of getting lucky with Elizabeth Cook.

.002% is so worth the chance. She's beautiful!!!

[Smitty]

Whatever you do, don't tell her you love her in that Geico commercial.

[Gator McKlusky]

My wife thinks I have about a .002 percent chance of getting lucky with Elizabeth Cook.

.002% is so worth the chance. She's beautiful!!!

YES! So you still have a chance!
