On the way to the show in '06 my wife and I were headed down listening to Death Cab and Passenger Seat came on and I was like, "I love this song, and I don't think there's any chance they're going to play it."
They OPENED with Passenger Seat, my eyes welled up. I lost it when they played I Will Follow You Into the Dark. I cried. It was fucking awesome.

Wow you're good, you can predict which songs you will cry to in the future.
Anyways, I agree with a few people here where I feel a deep connection to live music and i get a little emotional at shows during specific songs/solos. I expect to do the same this year at Roo

Interesting thread. I don't think I had ever shed any substantial tears at a concert until 'Roo last year. When Jakob Dylan sang "On Up the Mountain," I completely lost it. The lyrics were just so moving to me. Like others, I had a little corn just prior, so maybe that was part of it.
But even now when I listen it, that song has a way of making me tear up just a little.

I've had some waterworks flow at previous roos, I can't even lie haha.
I cried when Widespread closed out the show in 07, because the music was just so beautiful to me and it was just an intense moment, especially because we were at the very front in the barricade.
And in 08 I was pregnant, and cried over everything. Like, when my boyfriend burnt my s'more. Sad, I know.
Ive had that emotional crying feeling where the eyes well up a little, but it never went to full blown tears. It did happen once a couple years ago when my friends went out, and i bought Phish IT DVD and watched it with some corn, and all the lights off and the speakers on. The part when they played on that tower in the middle of the night just got me and i started crying. Ive never seen full Phish before, so who knows what will happen this year.
also, we lost a member of our Roo Crew this year and are bringing some ashes to spread, so who knows the emotions that will happen this year.

You're spreading a friend's ashes at Bonnaroo? Wow. That will be an emotional moment for sure. When will you do it? Will it be in Centeroo? Crunchies for being such a devoted friend.
I wept loudly and embarrassingly at Mavis Staples on Sunday in 07. It was father's day, she was talking bout daddies and singing like church and I just lost it (I lost my daddy 5 yrs ago). It was also the last day of my first roo and I think it just got to me... Since then, the roo floodgates have been wide open. I cried at PJ last year, though not like that first year. I'm even tearing up reading and remembering due to this thread. Ah...you know something is good when it gets to you like this.

I cried during Grace Cathedral Hill by the Decemberists, but that was to the mp3. Never happened to me at a concert. I got chills and my throat grew tense when I was at Swell Season last year. I saw this gal absolutely lose it during the Avett Brothers during The Ballad of Love and Hate and a couple other songs... I think it was If its the Beaches and Murdered in the City.
The Avetts always give me chills though.
Another song I cried to was "All My Life" by K Ci and Jo Jo... but that was when I was 7 years old and my cat died.

We dont know know when or where. It will be in Centeroo. Most likely during the day at one of the stages, or maybe multiple stages

A little at each of the stages. How wonderful. A return to the earth as it should be, not in a box, but with the land, to hear the music forever with mother nature.

i cried for days when i found out kanye got paid for that puppet show he put on. what was that? i hope snoop disproves the theory of black people showing up late for work. kanye surely didnt.

That is beautiful. I am going to say that little quote when we do it.
I'm sure there have been other times that I've cried at a live show, but this one really sticks out since it's my favorite song by one of my favorite bands.
Like others, I think spreading your friend's ashes at 'Roo is a wonderful, beautiful idea.
i'm a total crybaby. this thread made me cry. i finally got to see pj harvey last night and i cried for half the show. i cry when listening to music a lot.
Glad to see there are other weepers out there. Just remember there are times that it is because you're sad but others it's because of happiness, joy, exhaustion and more. There are even some people where the notes of the music themselves cause kind of a visceral reaction. You know you're one of them if you feel it in your gut no matter what else is going on.
So feel free to join me in the soggy sleeve brigade!
I haven't cried but I've gotten a little emotional for a few songs. Two that stand out are "Better Man" from Pearl Jam's set last year. I think that one even got to Eddie Vedder. Another would be "House of Cards" from Radiohead in 2006. Those are just moments when the whole Bonnaroo experience seemingly 'clicked' for everyone there. Truly amazing moments.
