itstillmoves84 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Conflicts!!! Wilco got a great slot 6-8 pm on Saturday, before the Boss. However -- they are scheduled at the same time as the Decemberists! Terrible! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Long Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 and the same time as Elvis Costello solo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 and the same time as Elvis Costello solo. I am not even going to Bonnaroo and this bums me out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I like both bands, but it would not be hard for me to choose Wilco live over The Decemberists live. But Elvis Costello solo? Crap. That doesn't happen all the time. That one I'd probably have to pick EC just because there are always more opportunities to see Wilco perform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I saw Elvis Costello solo when he toured with Bob Dylan 2 years ago. It's safe to say that Elvis Costello stole the show in my eyes and ears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Completely agree. I saw the Rhode Island stop of that tour, and Elvis really did steal the show. It was before Momofuku can out, but he played Song with Rose and it blew me away. A friend of mine is opted for Wilco so that he could get a better view for Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Guess I'll stay at the What Stage from 5:30-whenever Springsteen gets off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dondante Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 for anyone interested the bonnaroo schedule is up. looks like wilco will be playing 6-8 on the main stage saturday evening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trentasaurus Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yep. Unfortunetely they clash with the Decemberists and Elvis Costello, both of which I kinda wanted to see. But i'll probably try to get to Wilco early and get a good spot and stay there to see the boss. This is my first bonnaroo (or any music festival), can any veterans tell me abouts how early i'd have to get to a show to get a spot up close? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am a one-time Roo veteran going again this year, and I echo Dondante's sentiments. To get a spot on the rail, you have to pretty much camp out there all day. I guess there are worse places to be since Rod y Gab are on the same stage before Wilco. But it would still suck to have to be planted there all day and miss what is going on elsewhere. And frankly, on the main stage, even being on the rail isn't really that close to the band - you can get much closer when you see them out on tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
