My favorite time to play is Sunday night after they kick everybody out of Centeroo. Because the music played by Rooers is all there is at that point.
I played with a guy named "Turtle" from Florida who was a pretty awesome guitar player. I do try to keep it low key cause I know that my neighbors might not be interested in hearing me, but sometimes people get into it.
"Uncle John's Band" is actually a pretty hard song to play as Dead songs go. I mean I know "Ripple" and "Friend of the Devil" but those songs are just D, C, and G for the most part (Ripple has that A minor and augmented D). But Uncle John's Band has got some bitchy chords in it. I would be impressed with even a badly played version of that song.
If anyone wants to jam I'll be the guy in the white truck with the blue tent. Look for me somewhere in general admission camping OK?

One of my fondest memories of last year was waking up early on saturday and singing along to With A Little Help From My Friends and Twist & Shout with my 3 friends who had also gotten up early.
Later that night a neighbor was hanging out at our campsite and asked who was singing The Beatles that morning. She said we made waking up in the heat a little more bearable

last year our neighbors brought their acoustics and played songs in the mornings when ppl were waking up and eating breakfast...it was really nice to hear, although they were pretty good musicians!
I always bring a guitar with me when I travel. Which one depends on where I am going, how I am getting there, and the conditions I might find my self in. My taylor rarely leaves the house, Baby taylor can go if its indoors and safe. At Bonnaroo its my beat up old thin body honer. Looks like shit, plays like a dream. To be honest more people seen it in my shelter and stopped to strum a little. I did not really play it much, but if you have a beater, I say bring it!

one of the guys I went with last year did the same thing. He'd also play if he was taking a break in the afternoon or while waiting for others to get ready to head into Centeroo.
So, yeah. He probably played 3 times a day. It was great.
Just don't be one of those hippies that plays a bongo the ENTIRE quacking NIGHT
Ditto! We camped next to some people with bongos last year. They played constantly, if you can call banging randomly on a drum "playing". Just have some courtesy for your neighbors if you decide to bring an instrument!

Haha I love hitting up drum circles. I'm by no means a drummer, but with 15 other people banging the skins, I sound terrific.
6/18: Phish in Hartford 6/25: Phish in Camden 7/2-7/4: Nateva 7/17: God Street Wine at Irving Plaza 7/23-7/25: String Cheese at Red Rocks!! 8/17-8/18: Phish at Jones Beach 9/3: Rush at PNC
This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.
It's always noisy in the camping area so bring earplugs to sleep.
I'm the kind of guy that HAS to play my guitar, so I always bring a guitar. I usually chill and play by myself. But there is always the chance for something magical to happen if you find some others to play with.
I'll be bringin' my mandolin! They're light, a little bit different and slightly more resilient to the heat.
Hope I can meet up with some people with guitars and drums. I feel an impromptu jam on Uncle John's Band comin' on...
right on. i like unique instruments. would be awesome to run into you and jam. im camping with the solorooers so if you happen to come accross our campsite, stop and jam!

This happened to me in 07. I had my guitar, a Canadian had one, and this dude actually had a tabla that looked really old. Pretty magical.
I don't need to hear some hippie warbling an off-key and poorly-played version of "Uncle John's Band" at 5 AM.
I hope you can hear me wherever you are when i'm running around naked at 6AM saturday playing dead and phish covers. Do you prefer guitar, banjo, or fiddle?
Hope I can meet up with some people with guitars and drums. I feel an impromptu jam on Uncle John's Band comin' on...
my roomate plays, but alas he won't be joining me. i'll be the guy most likely by himself with only my scarecrow owl and my axe to keep me company. and yes some shitty uncle john's band will go down for sure

You may come to Bonnaroo alone, but you won't be alone at Bonnaroo.

I enjoy playing with myself in my tent late at night. I thought seriously about whipping it out in front of my neighbors but I was afraid they might not be into that sort of thing and it would just be embarrassing for everyone.
