I think Robert randolph is the only person to play every year. Claypool wasn't there in 03'. My Morning Jacket has played every year but the first and Umphrey's has only missed 03' also and last year was the first year with no Galactic.

Okay so for all you that have been to em all, which was your favorite line up and why?
I don't mean which year did you have fun cause of some crazy stuff that happened or who you were with etc but which year did you like the music the best?
Seems to me like 2003 was an awesome year. But the more i look at it it seems like its getting better cause 2005 and 2006 were pretty amazing lineups.

Been there every single year. I had always thought that if I could make 5 in a row that would be enough. Yeah right - not gonna happen.
Musically the 2nd roo was probably my favorite. The Lips set ranks as one of my all-time favorite musical moments, but there were dozens of other highlights too that year. Of course that's also the year that we caught the most music, running from show to show most of Friday and Saturday.
I'm also rooting for Les to show up, but the word on the bullboard is that he will not be there.
i will be a four timer...i missed 02 and 03...and i will continue to go as long as i possibly can...
they've all had magical moments, don't know if i could say i thought one was better than the next...the last couple were a little more comfortable because of knowin' how and where to camp etc...but musicwise its always been amazing and legendary...
This will be my 4th straight year. My brother talked me into going in '04 with a bit of hesitation on my part, having no idea what to expect and not having many bands I was familiar with. Wife and I made the mistake of getting there at midnight on Thursday and missed out on some fun rec activities and ended up leaving early on Sunday because we had to be back for work/school. The shows I attended that year went something like this: Calexico, Neko Case, Ween(top show of my weekend), Grandaddy, Wilco, and though we didn't technically make it to the MMJ show, we were trying to take a nap under a tree while they were playing...and then the crazy f'in storm started and I swear it was like MMJ absorbed all the energy and power of that storm and transferred it back in some blistering rock n' roll. I've been a MMJ fan since that. It's odd though, when we left on Sunday afternoon we didn't feel like it was something we'd want to do every year...a few days or weeks later though, it struck us that it was the greatest thing we'd ever done and it's now THE yearly event we look forward to. The lineup, for my tastes at least, has improved every year I've been (although I'm still waiting on some key additions before I can say that about this year). Sorry if this is sort of off topic

This is my sixth as well. My wife has also been every year and we hope to keep it that way.
And by my Calculation R.Randolph is the only musician to play every year. Les was not there in 03, and Phil lesh was MIA in 05. Warren missed last year, so that just leaves Robert, unless I'm forgetting someone.

I have been every year and never had to pay...actually, I have worked at all of them and GOT paid. First job I ever had was working security at the Kellar Williams/String Cheese show....first night of the first Bonnaroo.
The jobs I have had get better and better...with better and better access.
