Bonnaroo Roll Call

[killsaly]

I am leaving work to go home and head out in about an hour.  This is going to be my first time there, and i hope it doesnt dissapoint.  I also see a few conflicts, but the main one for me is Tegan and Sara/Minus the Bear.  Also Rilo Kiley/Willie Nelson is a hard one as well.

Alas, I have decided to go.  I will not leave til Thursday after work though, just going for the 2 days. Coming home Sunday cause Sundays lineup bites it  hard.

As far as your first conflict, I'd skip both and head for some place shady.
 
 As far as your second conflict, one is a legend and one will never be. See the legend while you can. That said, his live act seemed to be on the downturn even 10 years ago, so if you have already seen him in your lifetime, you're allowed to go to the other one.

Having seen Rilo Kiley last week I would say to see them unless you feel the need to say you saw Willie.  They were very good live and having seen both live before...i would choose Rilo hands down.
 
   just my opinion!

I'm going since I live in Nashville. I'm going for free as a guest of the corporate pigs that are putting the festival.
 
 They are nice guys simply trying to make money like any business. Because it's a festival as opposed to anything else, does that mean it's not ok for them to try and make money? They are no different from someone like Seth.

I'm not going this year, as I thought the lineup seemed kind of weak when it was first announced.  Looking at the schedule today though, I'm sort of reconsidering my opinion--there's actually a pretty good number of bands I'd like to see, and some really good looking late night shows.  Sunday is still totally worthless to me though, which I'll use a good excuse for staying home.
 
 MMJ's late night set alone is reason enough to consider going.  Though I don't think it could possibly compare to their late night in '06, I urge every who's going to make catching this show a priority.

 Some of the set starting times are crazy. Someone going on at 3:15 am?
 
 And Drive By Truckers got shafted with a 12:30pm Friday start time.

Is Obama against capitalism?

Well this year's festival will be about 1000 tabs of LSD short!  Ouch, that guy is going to prison for life!

I'm so bored, I'm actually going to watch the Metallica set.
 
 
 Les Claypool's antics are so old and tired.

[azaghal1981]

So I'll probably get my boardie card revoked for this but...
 
 This set is pretty fucking awesome so far.  
 
 
 Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ride the Lightning, Harvester of Sorrow, The Unforgiven

[azaghal1981]

Ok nostalgia trip's over.

[grotty]

This Blue room...Does it archive the shows or only stream them?
 
 No PJ tonight. ATT still mad they got caught censoring?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Seems to be only steaming. They may archive a song or two from select bands, but no full sets.
