With all the Roocitment going on in everyone's head, I was wondering what y'all hope will be different this year, and what you hope never changes.
I personally just can't wait for the amazing daytime set that goes above and beyond what I expected.. I'm thinking Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, Matisyahu, B.B. King, & Gogol Bordello of years past. I'm hoping this year it's Bon Iver that does that to me.
Personally, I've just gone once before, back in 2006. I'm not sure how much of what I experienced then is standard and how much will change.
Given my old age--I hit 30 in August; Jesus--some of that first 'roo has faded in my memory. That said, I hope that the whole "beer is not free" aspect changes. Hope lives in the idiot heart.

The Beastie Boys... VERY under discussed, but they're gonna blow the freakin' roof off of Bonnaroo!
I think you're right. I always forget to mention them when I tell people who's playing, and then finally remember, and they are like, "OMG, you've gotta see them!!".. I guess they are awesome live or something..?

A buddy of mine lives in Denver and goes to an insane amount of shows. He saw The Beasties at Red Rocks and said it was the best show of the summer.
I was gonna go to David Byrne but my buddy convinced me otherwise.
I'm definitely excited for Beastie Boys. I've never seen them, but I have the feeling this'll be THE show this year. Hearing rumors that Springsteen and Beastie Boys were playing was enough for me to buy my ticket.
i just hope they gave the mushroom a cool design. soo disappointing last year.
this.
in '07 i was so excited to show my roo virgin friends the fountain, only to find myself afraid to walk in it when we got there because of the obvious lack of solidity of the checkerboard ground. last year we got to the fountain and said, "aww. they changed it."

Beasties and Byrne at the same time is a major drag. I've seen Byrne twice and he's one of my all time fave artists but Beasties will put on an epic show. I'll probably do Byrne just because I don't like the What Stage, but I'm may change my mind at the last minute. AAAAARRRGGGHHH!
To answer the thread question though, I kind of miss the old jam band Roo and the mellower crowd, but the mix of bands now is incredible. Every Roo is different and that's the really cool part. It never gets old and there's always new bands to discover.
This newer diverse Roo reflects my tastes much better than the old Jam centric Roo. The irony is that I was one of those people true jam fans love to hate as I would go to Jam festivals and Phish shows because of the party and not because of the music. Now that Roo is so much more diverse, and I am a older and a bit more mature, I am at Roo for the music first and the great party is a wonderful bonus.
I'm exciteed for not having to wait in line in vip for food..i bought the food ticekt..i hope that everyone is still as chill as last year and will start a wave of bonnarooooooooooss as if at a phils game starting the wave..btw super stoked for the beastie boys..knew they were playing was kinda ehh..my bfs cuz bought tickets for him and his wife recently she was pissed at how much the tickets were..at the concert she admitted she would have paid thousands of dolalrs to see them should be a great time..and of course a good dance party at girl talk is expected..

From what I've read, Bon Iver put on THE performance of Sasquatch 2009. I won't miss that set.
