With the artist additins I can add 1 more - ani Difranco.
Seen her 3x: twice at the UA's Centennial hall (1997 and 2005) and at Roo 04. I was pretty far back from her Which Stage show and har a hard time hearing here, but the 2 theater shows were fantastic.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it

Phish NIN x 3 Wilco x 2 Snoop Dogg Elvis Costello The Mars Volta MGMT moe. x 2 Ben Harper Gov't Mule x 2 The Decemberists Girl Talk Bela Fleck Rodrigo y Gabriela Galactic Animal Collective Citizen Cope Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Toubab Krewe Gomez Heartless B@stards
Springsteen (4 times) Phish (1 time) Beastie Boys (1 time, about 18 yrs ago) David Byrne (2 times) Wilco (probably 8-10 times) Elvis Costello (1 time) Ben Harper many times but not Relentless7 Jimmy Fallon (once, opening for the Strokes) Public Enemy (opening for u2 in 1992) Andrew Bird (2 times) Band of Horses (4 times) Gov't Mule (partial festival sets) Girl Talk (once) Galactic (3-4 times) Allen Touissant (once) Lucinda Williams (3-4 times) Gomez (4 times) Neko Case (once) Tony Rice Unit (once) Grace Potter (once) Okkervil River (once) Tift Merritt (6-7 times) AA Bondy (once)
Bruce (3x prior but still my MOST anticipated set...he's great live)
Elvis Costello (5x prior but he ALWAYS is doing something different)
TV on the Radio (1 previous show and should be seeing them at Coachella as well)
Public Enemy (2x prior...they really and truly are LOUDER than a bomb)
Beastie Boys (once...last year at a get out and vote event. Hope they play longer this time but it was great anyhow)
David Byrne (saw his show last year when they came through...it's fantastic and I admire him personally so much)
Bon Iver (Back in December though I was pretty drunk so I'll most likely remember and watch this set more appreciatively)
Wilco (5 times...I really enjoy them live and on record but it is still funny how I never really go out of my way to see them...it just keeps happening year after year.)
Al Green (once, though it was raining pretty good and I think he cut the show short. I've been lucky so far in my bonnaroo attendances that haven't really gotten poured on. Let's hope this trend continues and history doesn't repeat itself with 'The Reverend')
Nine Inch Nails (twice...2000 was one of the greatest concert experiences of my life! Last years wasn't nearly as cool, sadly.)
Lucinda Williams (Once...she's a doll. She had a simple set up at a local historic venue and obliged requests for most the set. Really looking forward to seeing her again.)
Bonnaroo always been good (or maybe I've just been lucky) about scheduling without many conflicts but with so many people to see (17 with most of them squeezed into Friday and Saturday) I'm sure to be a little more stressed this time around. Last year I went for 13 bands and managed to catch 12 of them (at least partially) but that was pretty nicely spread out over the weekend so we'll see what happens.
Oh yeah...saw someone mention Aziz Asari above...i LOVE this dude. Can't wait to see him again at the comedy tent. I've also seen Michael Ian Black once previously but that was more of a storytellers than a comedy thing. It was awesome but I hope he brings more of the funny with him this time.
