So, I'm a huge DMB fan (no flames, please), and DMB is a big reason I'm going to Bonnaroo this year. I'm also from Cleveland, and I'm a huge Cavs fan. Why is this important? Because, if the Cavs make the NBA Finals (a real possibility) and DMB plays Sunday night (which is pretty much confirmed, right?), Game 5 of the Finals will conflict with DMB's set. I can deal with any band conflict, but a conflict between the potential of Cleveland's first sports championship in 46 years and my favorite band at Bonnaroo makes me very, very sad...

That's funny, I was just thinking about whether I would watch the NBA finals at Roo if the Rockets were ever in the championship. So I envy your problem, in a way.
I decided I'd pick either the Thursday or the Sunday game depending on the Roo schedule. In your case, chances are the Sunday finals game won't exactly overlap with the DMB show, so you should be able to catch some of both. Also, if game 5 turns out to be the clincher, it won't be as dramatic a victory as a 6 or 7-game series, and you will have at least watched the first 4 games of it, including 3 Cavs wins.
I'm not a sports fan, at all, not even like a little tiny bit. I always find it a bit strange and humorous that fans of whatever sport is currently important feel the need to watch the games as they are happening. I understand the thrill of the game, and the uncertainty that you may not have if you watched the game at a later time (assuming you hear the outcome before you watch it), but if you could manage to NOT hear the result of the game until you had a chance to watch the game online or via DVR or whatever - why does it matter? Wouldn't it be just as exciting / fun / enjoyable at any time, not just when it is being played live?
I'll watch Game 4 on Thursday night no matter what, but I'll skip Game 5 unless Cavs are up 3-1 with a chance to clinch. I just can't miss that. I'm 30 years old, and none of my sports teams have ever won a championship. Chances are DMB will be something like 8:30-11:30 while the game will run 7-9:30, meaning that at worst I should be able to catch the second half of DMB's set. I'm seeing them at least 3 other times this summer, but seeing them at Roo will be special.
And I have to watch the game live because I have to celebrate with my fellow Cavs fans if we win. My dream would be that the Cavs get to the finals and then sweep, so that they clinch it on Thursday. That way I can celebrate with everyone and it'd be a great start to Roo. Otherwise, I hope that it's tied 2-2, so I can skip Game 5 and not worry about it.

Especially if DMB closes with an epic Two Step (fake)->Halloween or something else crazy. But, yeah, I'm praying that the game is early and that DMB runs late.

it's more exciting live because you get to share it with other people. that's why sports are cool - the shared excitement.
plus, it's impossible to avoid the result of a championship, especially in a crowd of 70,000 people and a subsequent 12 hour ride home. you would see it on the cover of every newspaper at every rest stop and gas station.

Cleveland wont make it to the finals ne ways, so there wont be a conflict... im kidding, they most likely will, and they will prolly play the lakers.... which would be awesome to see kobe vs. lebron in a Game 7 battle
I'm pretty sure we have the real Superman to throw at Superboy Howard this year, and Jamison to help defend (plus he's a big guy that can hit the outside shot). Basically, the Cavs are significantly better this year, and without Turk, I'd say that the Magic, while still very good, aren't as good as last year. Cleveland in 5, bring on the Lakers!

I am not into sports at all. I watched the super bowl at a bar because I wanted to drink and I'd probably have been in a bar anyway. I didn't have any emotion when the Colts lost. I live in Indiana, my brother graduated from and works at Butler and I didn't watch the final game. I couldn't imagine watching sports while DMB is playing at Roo. To each their own but I don't get it. I'd rather be in a crowd of 70k people out of their minds in their favorite place during their favorite time of the year possibly enjoying the thing that they enjoy most in the world.

No, if Cleveland is in the Finals, they have home court. The NBA has a 2-3-2 format for the Finals, so Game 3, 4, and 5 are at the home court of the team without home court advantage. So, basically, it'll be late. Don't know how late, but late.

Can't disagree. Their Rothbury set was good, but no guests, nothing out of the ordinary from the encore, etc... Of course, that was only Coffin's 2nd or 3rd show with the band, so I don't know. If nothing else I should at least be catching the second half of the set.

I did that with the Lakers last year. Kinda sucked tho because I chose to go see Phish on sunday over watching the lakers win the championship. I was hoping they would lose and didnt find till later but oh well! I did happen to watch the thursday night game and it was actually a lot of fun. People cheering for diffrent teams and stuff....then I saw Zac Brown. So I had an amazing thursday. And who knows we might both be in there this year :-)
Yeah, just imagine how awesome it will be if the Cavs win a championship and then you go hear the last hour or two of the DMB show.
That was me and bunch of people last year. David Byrne on the Which Stage, Beastie Boys on the What Stage, and Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on crappy flash video at the Troo Music Lounge. As a Pens fan, I had to watch that. So worried me not wearing my jersey would jinx them but nope. We had a crowd of about 30 gathered around one of those tiny computers. Then headed over to see Phish for the first time in 5 years.

July 16 - CAKE (Portland, ME) July 28-30 - Newport Folk (#12!) Dec 8-9 - Goosemas!
Cleveland? Haven't you guys learned professional sports were invented to tear the hearts out of Cleveland fans? Edgar renterria anyone? How about Ernest byner? How about Jordan over Ehlo? Good lord! If history is any guide, james will slip on a sweat spot and lose the ball out of bounds while driving for the uncontested game winning dunk, leave for new York in free-agency. Meanwhile, dmb will bring on special guests John Lennon and jimi Hendrix. So yeah, Cleveland fan. You should watch the game. The universe would lose its balance any other way.

see you can watch a sports game anytime and its like you watched it live on TV, but you cant watch a recording of a concert and get the "i was there" feeling. i would never choose sports over music at bonnaroo, ever.

I'll watch Game 4 on Thursday night no matter what, but I'll skip Game 5 unless Cavs are up 3-1 with a chance to clinch. I just can't miss that. I'm 30 years old, and none of my sports teams have ever won a championship. Chances are DMB will be something like 8:30-11:30 while the game will run 7-9:30, meaning that at worst I should be able to catch the second half of DMB's set.

You've got at least one other Clevelander that will be there next to you skipping whoever might be playing if the Cavs have a chance to clinch.
I'm guessing if they do make it they will stretch it out to 7 games. As a Cleveland fan you have to know it won't be easy and if Cleveland is going to win it will all come down to some unbelievable game 7.

As a chicago fan, If the Blackhawks make the Stanley Cup I don't know what I will do. I know it will be rough, but I guess I will find a way to watch it live on an iphone even if i have to pay for it. I can only imagine trying to watch a show and the game on a 3 inch iphone screen while out of my mind. Should make for a good time if it happens.
If we get a Hawks-Pens final we may have to work together to find a way to watch.
Sorry Cleveland fans, but the Jordan over Ehlo being brought up made me happy. Here is a great take on it.
Anyway, enjoy your revenge in the first round if the Bulls make the playoffs.
I'm not a huge NBA fan, but I know if WVU was playing in the NCAA football/basketball national championship, or if the Miami Dolphins or Florida Marlins were playing in the Super Bowl/World Series, I don't think any show this side of a Pink Floyd reunion would be able to pull me away.
There's (mostly) always going to be opportunities to see bands again...but sometimes sports championships only happen once....and I'd definitely count on that if I was a Cavs fan. lol
It's not like DMB doesn't tour allthedamntime anyway.
Every single game will start at 8, 8:30, or 9 PM EST. This is standard stuff here - they haven't had an "early" game in the NBA finals since... I don't even know.
Also, I sympathize. If I had tickets to Bonnaroo in 2004 and the World Series during Roo I would have just skipped Roo altogether. There was literally nothing on Earth that could have stopped me from seeing the Red Sox win that series outside of a coma or death.
I just don't get the draw of any kind of sport, never have.
