So who all here were in the pit for the show, specifically the left side of the pit? Because it seems like a ton of Inforoosters were.
With me at MMJ were Nodepression, awolfatthedoor, karosko, baconrus, and Zapp Brannigan.
I was also in the left side of the pit with six other people (not inforoosters). That was one of my favorite festival experiences ever. Those two hours absolutely flew by.

I just saw them in Milwaukee tonight. Holyfuckingshit. Played for 2.5 and changed up their set list from Roo quite a bit. They took out Anytime, Golden, I'm Amazed, Highly Suspicious (my prayers were answered) and Dancefloors, and added every single song from Circuital, Heartbreakin Man (omg), The Way That He Sings, Old Sept Blues (woah), Lay Low, What a Wonderful Man, and Dondante (another omg). Can't believe I hadn't seen these guys as of a week ago, just incredible.

I was suprised they didn't play The Way That He Sings, Lay Low, or Dondante at Roo. But their Roo set hit hard.

I just saw this setlist and hope I get something similar tonight. I have seats in the orchestra pit!
My Morning Jacket is offering free shipping on all items in their store until Sunday. I just snagged a deluxe vinyl of 'Circuital.' I was able to throw down that much cash a few weeks ago, so I'm thrilled that they are still selling them.

I was also in the left pit, on the rail, right next to Jay! We met while sitting against the rail waiting on MMJ to start, and he said he was a Admin on a Bonnaroo message board. I was like, "Inforoo?? I post on Inforoo! I'm Radiospirit" Very random, but cool.
First MMJ concert and I was blown away. Won't be the last concert for me. I checked them out for the first time when the lineup dropped in February, and they're already one of my favorite bands.
what a fantastic show. tenth bonnaroo, tenth time seeing the jacket. my wife and i were in the pit on the right side in about the third row just to the right of jim. i was wearing a top hat with blinking red el wire on it. did anyone see me?
but my favorite part might have been meeting bo, the keyboard player, on sat. night! my friend and i were standing behind that tent waiting for dr. john. the fireworks after (during?) eminem were going off, and i was looking up the road towards which stage at them and the people walking by and just taking in the whole scene. i saw him when he was about 10 yards away from me, and he passed right behind me. i just took a couple steps back and said 'bo, you're the f'in man!" and stuck my hand out. i must have said it loud b/c he looked kind of surprised. he shook my hand and said 'thanks, brother!' i was too dumbstruck to say anything else!! of course my wife had the camera and wasn't with me and now i can think of about 5 specific things i would have liked to have said to him, but it was still really cool! bonnaroo!!
Shoulda posted this earlier, but did anyone else see Gina Gershon in the pit? She was standing directly beside me until more crowds started to pile in and then I lost sight of her. Definitely one of my weirder moments at Roo X.

So I saw them in Toronto this past week and they were absolutely on fire. Phone Went West and The Dark were show makers for me. I feel pretty confident in saying they're the best live band going right now.
Did anyone else get an email about them sending out new green LPs?
Wait, so is the uber-collector set still available? I've been broke as a joke lately and just couldn't swing it, but haven't bothered to check up on it since before 'Roo to see if it was still available.
