full sets mostly besides friday when im going to see 15 mins of bela, the full 30 minute moe set, and then the last 30 minutes of galatic. Way to much going on at one time on friday for me

I want to do full sets, but I also want to catch some acts I have never seen before, like I want to see Wilco and of Montreal so that will be tough but it goes for some of the other acts. I want to do all of phish but I also want to see Phoenix its gonna be tough for me

I definitely think full sets are the way to go, in general, because a show obviously (hopefully) builds til the end when it climaxes. However, you shouldn't be afraid to bounce around, if something doesn't grab you like you thought, or you are really torn between bands.
For me, ill be trying to catch full sets of most everyone i see, with the exception of bouncing from Gov't Mule>Wilco> TMV Ive never seen TMV, I think theyre gonna kill, so Im catching their full set. But i also love Wilco, so ill try to catch about an hour, and same for Mule. Sucks for me to miss out on any of Mule or Wilco, but the conflicts are unavoidable.

i will only catch a few full sets and normally try my best to give every band 3 songs unless they really get me grooving (The National and Paolo Nutini for example in 2007)

I'm planning on making mostly full sets, but I will have to jump around a bit to see everyone I want to see.
I'm thankful I only have a few scheduling conflicts though, so it shouldn't be too bad. But, plans go out the window once you hit bonnaroo, so whatever happens happens. I do plan on checking out some new music, so I'll be bummed if I don't get a chance to.
i think there are a couple bands i'll definitely see in full. but i think most will be jump arounds. i don't want to commit myself to anything fully beforehand. roo is definitely going to be a go-with-the-flow experience for me.
I don't think I've ever caught an entire set at Bonnaroo and I doubt that's gonna change this year. With an almost overwhelming amount of bands to see, I'm sure I'll be in the usual panicked frenzy running around like a maniac trying to catch everything.
Only time I ever stayed for the entire sets were for Radiohead and NIN at Lolla.
