I'm not sure about the father/son claim...I know that Sting's boy never made it (his flight was delayed), but I'm sure that someone in the back of my mind has done this before...

I Thought the exact same thing, there has to be some other examples, I just can't think of any.
Les Claypool fact is wrong. Give c2b3 some credit! They were a part of the original magic of Bonnaroo when it got it's reputation for acts like Bucket of Bernie Brains that truly pulled off some amazing improvisional sets.
Edit: "i've added it up: this is my 13th Bonnaroo." -Les Claypool 6-13-08

haha i love that 13th bonnaroo quote. i was like passing out literally from exhaustion and heat at claypool i was upset that i was forced to back to camp for a nap so i wouldnt miss MMJ.
i did catch that quote along with the "i remember the late night with Primus when i was particularly fried on mushrooms" fucking classic
