bobbob1313 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm probably going to camp at least one night, just to experience it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LenF Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I'm jealous... another great lineup this year. I will be at my 5 year old daughter's dance recital, otherwise I would be there. Everybody enjoy it! Take some time to see some smaller acts in the tents if the crowds start to get to you. It's a good way to chill out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G_willy Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 wicked, there is no one I care to see for like 3 hours before wilco...definitely gonna try to get a good spot for the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Ugh. Decemberists and Wilco overlap by half an hour. Guess I'll see an hour of Decemberists, then run over for Wilco (probably get a bad spot) then run back for the Stripes. The Police followed by the Flips will be the highlight. I'm not sure if I'm gonna stay for the Police the whole time. Want to get a good spot for the Flips. Thats gonnabe a tough call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiokills Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 looks like a terrible lineup, minus wilco and a few others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks like a very decent lineup. A good mix of Bluegrass, Jam, Folk, Weird, and Rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I think it's a great lineup. the lineup this year looks shitty minus a few bands looks like a terrible lineup, minus wilco and a few others. Sweet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 very tough call. last time i saw the flaming lips at bonnaroo, there were a significant number of hard core lips fans who had been there for an extremely long time. I saw the Lips at Langerado and I didn't have to fight the crowd too much to get a good spot, but that was a festival with 20k as opposed to 60k. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. All this scheduling is getting me really excited. I'm thinking Thursday will be a mostly comedy night, except for the National. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killer Whales Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I wasn't immensly impressed by the schedual at first (I still got a ticket), but I've since checked out bands I didn't know but now really dig and with the addition of the Somethin' Else tent, I am now psyched out of my mind to be going! Besides the beginning of the day on Saturday and Sunday, there are bands I really want to see at all times, so there's no point where I'll really have to worry about bad music. Also, I was a little bummed out about how stacked the end of Sunday is and how much I'll be missing. I'll probably do exactly what the other poster said (See the first half hour of Decemberists, see Wilco, and then run over to White Stripes... with a shitty spot all 3 sets), and I'll still be missing Ornette Coleman and Feist! Whatever though... the Medeski Martin and Philadelphia Experiment latenight sets will easily make up for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks to be that Nels is playing with a band at the same time the FLips are slated.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Is it possible to get through those late night shows without the aid of heavy drugs? Jeez, I may be getting old, but 3am? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

okp greg Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Just to give everyone a bit of advice from 2 years of experience.... Yes it's absolutely possible to get through the late shows, and the entire festival, without heavy(and by heavy, well, i mean any) drugs. Last year between going to sleep tuesday night before the festival and monday night after the festival i had a cumulative 10 hours of sleep. It's that good. Just enjoy everything. Relax when you have to, drink a TON of water. And be VERY careful about how much you drink(anything that isn't water) while the sun's up. My 15 year old brother was a soda addict when we arrived last year, and when i recommended he drink water he laughed. I laughed harder and said "in half an hour you're going to tell me you have a headache and i'm going to give you tylenol. but after that you're gonna drink water." He got a headache, and drank water... and also saw more tit than he'll ever see . But seriously, it's awesome. Camp out if you can. It really lends to the whole community experience of 'roo, which is honestly more than any band will ever lend to the experience. Just as long as you're prepared you'll be fine. Remember first aid kits, be prepared for blisters, no blisters, rain, droughts, and everything in between! In '04 I took a shower in the torrential downpoor. One of my best showers EVER!! Do the silent disco, go see the random bands you know nothing about... go to the xm stage if it's there this year, walk under the mushroom fountain and rejoice in the glory of bonnaroo. Hope you all have a phenomenal time and think of me while you're there! P.S. Print the schedule ahead of time and highlight the bands you want to see the most. You'll get a schedule, some cd's, and probably some bumper stickers, waiting to get in, but having just a schedule, without an essay about each band, definitely helps your travels. P.P.S. ?uestlove, the drummer for The Roots, has this to say:"Bonnnnnnnnneroooooooooers" i aint snitchin just yetbut uh...make sure you come all three days....cause im about to do about 4-5 hours of work over a 2-3 day period. multi jammin shits on that level of what i did with pino and herbie hancock last year.-- and not to mention a "reunion" of another unit of mine. should be sick. had the whole weekend off so i told em "put me to work the entire 3 days and MAKE SURE i had a spot for The Police You've no idea how badly I wish I was there to see ?uesto.

MattZ Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 yes. but that may depend on your definition of "heavy." Haha, well, I guess these days anything heavier than beer. Even in the old days though, to spend a whole day in the sun, watching music all day, and then watching some jammy bands get all tripped out at the end of the day going until 3, 4, 5am? For three straight days? I am getting tired just thinking about it. I was at Big Cypress back on 12/31/1999, and that was hard enough, but it was really only one big night of madness. An absolutely amazing time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 So we should have a VC meet up at some point during the weekend, probably before that one band goes on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
