I've been bought to tears a few times at Roo just from the emotion I feel from great music and being part of such a huge group of people all feeling the same thing. Last year at the Flaming Lips, John Butler Trio and also at Tool (which seems strange but oh well ).

Perhaps I am just a bag of emotion as of late, but I get all vaklempt when I think about getting to finally see PJ live. Also, this year is going to be so much better for me personally than last. Last year was my first year and I had some problems with my travel mates. This year I am making SURE none of that rubbish will happen again. I know I will cry from happiness this year!!!

I've cried for all three reasons listed, definitely more happy and laughing than sad. The sad was b/c my husband wasn't with me one year and I was really wishing that he was there. It was a brief and passing sadness, but I shed a tear nonetheless.
I did cry last year. I took a nap before The Police. My BF was supposed to wake me up. He did not. I woke up in the middle of "Don't Stand Too Close to Me" and lost it. They were angry, pissed off tears - didn't last too long, but I did miss half of the already brief Police set.

Lets see...
I cried because I was sad at the Flaming Lips when Wayne did the taps tribute to all of our soldiers. He was saying something along the lines of,"Lets hope that maybe this time next year some of our soldiers will be with us here." I couldn't help but cry...very moving.
I cried out of happiness at the Lips concert too...that concert just really blew my mind I've never had such mood changes during one show as when I saw them...
I cried from laughing pretty much the whole time...I remember it was Sunday morning, just after the whole Sacha & John Digweed show I cried from laughter because I was far gone and with my best friend in the world. We came back to my car and threw all sorts of these diapers all over the place. The diapers came from this kid Gilbert we brought with us and he ended up just being a real burden the whole time, we would try and lose him as much as we could because he was such an asshole. Anyway, we threw his diapers all over the cars we brought and wrote on the car windshields,"Gilbert wuz using huggies." And there were a bunch of people walking by laughing about it...Me and my friend layed down in my car and just talked about the night and laughed, then Gilbert came outta nowhere and passed out on the hood of my car. It was so funny me and my friend were trying not to make too much noise so he wouldn't notice us...because he didn't really. I would turn my car on and then turn it off real fast and we would act like we were asleep.
Cried from laughter. The best thing about roo (besides all the great music and atmosphere) is meeting new friends. Especially fucking hilarious new friends!

Okay, I'm still a tad bitter.
I did the same thing, took a nap before the Police, slept thru at least half the show. But it didn't really bother me, esp. after hearing reviews of what I missed. I wish I'd slept a little longer, because I was still extremely tired through the whole Flaming Lips show and had to keep sitting down in the middle of the crowd. So that was probly one of the times I came closest to crying, even tho I didn't.

I cried several times from laughter, hell I even pissed myself once from laughter (it's what 2 children will do to your bladder girls). I also boo hoo'd big time at Mavis's set when she was talking about her daddy. Then I cried a little again when it was all over. Damn, I can't wait to shed a tear this year!

The Police were a favorite band in my "wee little one" years, so it was more the sentimental value of it that made me cry, with the added exhaustion, heat, and alcohol. The Flaming Lips entrance healed all wounds though.
i cried like a baby last year on Monday morning..i didn't want to go home i just had too much friend and met some amazing people..ill probably do it again this year!!
;ast year, i think i shed a tear or two when seeing paolo nutini. what can i say? i was seeing my favorite singer live for the first time.
(outside of bonnaroo but another concert crying moment...i was moved to tears at a wilco convert this march. i started to cry when they played impossible germany...they were mostly happy tears, though.)
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

The Flaming Lips show got me...and I'm one of those tough guys who never cries. I really connected with the taps interlude...just a truly heartfelt sentiment. It made me that much more grateful to be experiencing that moment...and sad that so many across the world were suffering at the same time.
Thus far only from laughter...but I came close during Damien Rice last year. I had broken up w/ a girl I was really into a month or so before 'Roo, and his lyrics really just brought out this crazy surge of emotion. I hadnt ever really listened to him before, so I didnt know what to expect - it was intense.
"We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five. "
of mixed emotions during "Wings for Marie" pt 1 & 2. Mostly happiness, sadness for mjk because it hurts him to perform that song, and being overwhelmed at being in that sea of collective unconcious; and the rejoicement of making it to the farm and earning my keep proper. That sort of.."i can die happy" feeling.
