I SAW YOU GUYS! were you towards the back on teh left of the stage near the food/beer???? you guys TRIPPED ME OUT ahhh im so excited it was someone from the boards me and my friends couldnt stop talkin bout the transformer and the astronaut
some have already been mentioned here but goes for me too: -Rod & Gab and everyone else doing WYWH was awesome, you can't beat it when a crowd is united in positive vibrations. -When John Paul Jones hit that first note of Dazed and Confused I was working my forward and a chill went through my whole body stopping me in my tracks...for over 25 minutes. -Dancing on Saturday from 3PM till I turned around during Sasha/Digweed seeing the sun and saying aloud "holy schnikees! I'm a raver!" and then dancing some more. Yep, love dancing in my jester cap -Meeting the people I shared an RV with that I located through inforoo....they are genuinely good people and that's not as easy to find as it should be (especially on Shakedown).
Crossing through Centeroo and having my ears switch from Pete Yorn to Mavis Staples right after seeing Elvis Perkins and clutching a Beacon with my message to my Dad in it.
Stumbling into the Other tent and having my mind blown by the trippy clusterfuck that is Gogol Bordello Whitnessing a mud fight in BFE "Chillin" with new lovely friend Tony unitil 6am Getting hit in th face by a laser pointer before the Flaming Lips show ( and basically every single moment during the show) Getting to hear the Stripes play "In The Cold Cold Night" and a few lines of "Party Of Special Things To Do"

Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hutz crowd surfing ON TOP OF THE DRUM f**king nuts! Rivaled Wayne Coyne's best bubble walks (of which this years roo was NOT one) This was THE show of the roo. One of the five best shows i have ever seen

1. The entire Gov't Mule set. Seeing him jam with everyone, and watching John Paul Jones play No Quarter and Since I've been loving you with them. Simply Amazing.
2. When that dick through the ball at Lewis Black when he was on stage with Mule. Warren Haynes said "I thought this was Bonnaroo" and then Lewis Black went off on him. Man, that guy must of felt like an ass. Who would do such a thing?
3. Rod Y Gab playing Wish You Were Here and everyone singing, also their version of Stairway....so beautiful.
4. The Tool set, Maynard's jokes about everyone being high and on LSD and how we are all arrested. When Tom Morello came out and played that sick solo with them. Stuff that only happens once in a lifetime.
5. Hanging out at String Cheese by myself because all of my crew was to tired. I met some of the coolest people, if a 15 year old kid named Doyle from Iowa is on here, whats up, it's Dylan. My friends didn't realize that late-night is where everything is at until the last day.
6. The incredible White Stripes set, and getting to hear songs of their new CD live before it was even out!
-The whole Roots set (especially the Wu-Tang cover) -Ben Harper and JPJ doing dazed and confused -wearing my steelers bandana and having countless people from the burgh stop me just be like yea 'go pittsburgh' or 'go steelers' gotta love the burgh love

My favorite moment was non-music related. Someone at the brunch brought a bag of pirate eye-patches, and I put mine in my pocket and didn't really spare another thought on it. A few hours later while waiting for Cold War Kids to come out a group of folks came with one guy wearing a pair of Band-Aids taped over his right eye. He proceeded to explain to his friends that he had lost his contact the night before and forgot his glasses, so he figured the Band-Aids were the best option to still be able to see. At this point the eyepatch re-entered my mind. I tapped him on the shoulder and just handed him the patch. He looked at me kind of stunned, and said, "Dude, that is the coolest thing that has ever happened to me. Thanks." I shook his hand and told him, "Things like this just kind of happen here." So I guess my Bonnaroo moment was being someone else's Bonnaroo moment.
Those were my eyepatches! Serendipity and karma show their pretty faces...
When Ornette Coleman came out for his set and thanked everyone for coming out, and how he appreciated every living thing and nature, and to not appreciate the music, but the idea. Then he went into a 20 minute free jazz jam. Oh yeah, that ruled.

Karma from me and the guy who lost his contact.... I was hoping whoever brought them would read this so they would know they helped someone in need. The best line was after he put it on his girlfriend said, "Oh neat. It's got a skull and crossbones on it. You're a pirate now." Classic!
Not necessarily my favorite moment but did anyone see the cloud of smoke that formed when Ben Harper played Burn One Down. Even Ben commented "That's pretty impressive"
My favorite moment was when Michael Franti played Nobody Right, Nobody Wrong or when John Butler Trio played Ocean
"ladies and gentleman...please welcome....the nightwatchman himself...tom f'uck'ing morello"
sunday standing up at the stage during bob wier among a plethora of older deadheads dancing like hell. thats when the whole bonnaroo experience hit me. everyone around me was so happy to see bob. the folks were truly thankful and having the time of their life reliving great moments from the past and embracing the present. i realized that i was living those moments that they were reliving. that was honestly the happiest moment of my entire life. i stopped moving with the crowd and just stood silent, blinking back tears with the biggest smile ever on my face.

When Jon Butler played Ocean, it was the first time in my life that a live performance almost brought me to tears it was so good. I don't even know what else to say about that experience, I'm friggin speechless about it...

For me it has to be seeing my favorite band Tool for the thirteenth time, trying to get close after showing up later than we intended to, and then realizing that there was a barrier we had to go around to get to the pit. Finally, we figured out the line for the "pit" and being #288 out of 1000 they let in. Oh yeah and them playing "Flood" and the Tom Morello solo. Can you say religious experience? Something I've dreamed of since the mid 90's....Man I'm old.
11/2/19: Tool 5/17/19: Blues Traveler 5/9/19: Tool 11/10/18: Tenacious D 9/20/18: White Denim 7/23/18: Radiohead 6/4/18: Jack White 5/20/18: Tool 5/18/18: A Perfect Circle 5/18/18: Alice in Chains 5/6/18: Blind Melon
Tops for me was Ben Harper. Most passionate set I saw all weekend. Topped off with JPJ and Ziggy setting in. And yes, the cloud during Burn One Down was awe-inspiring.
well too many to mention but, its a toss up between the String Cheese set when this young girl comes from hangin with keller back stage. She made it to the rail where i was jammin in front of Keith. i looked at her and she was huggin five ice cold Dank ass beers that keller had givin her. Right away Secerity rushed her saying she CANNOT have glass in the crowd at all and to give it up. i jumped in and begged the guard to let us pound the beers and he says its fine. so i did into my pocket for a lighter to pop the brew open and of course no lighter. next thing i know this cool ass 16 yr old kid grabs the beers and bites the top off!!! we all klink the beers together and enjoy an awesome brain freeze during one of the most insane HOWARDS ive ever heard!!!(kyle goes freakin nutz)
OR... The ALL the awesome beautiful people i was dancing with @ sasha and digweed!!! WOW was that an awesome time or what!!! Everyone in that crowd was so kind and sweet!! That whole expirence change my life for good. The best was the water pod drum circle after the show!!! Thank you all who danced their asses off with me that night

DJ Shadow - I was confused when he said, "everything I am going to play tonight is off one of my records". Then he sampled his records and created new songs and I understood, amazing. Plus some UNKLE songs, wonderful.
the roots jamming out with the full band i was dancing like crazy singing to almost everysong.. Also probably another favorite moment had to been the flaming lips show i really never felt that much happiness in the world everyone around me was soo cool.. Then dancing till sunlight at dj sasha and john digweed and walking through shakedown and theirs a band playing and a drum circle going down i looked at my friend and i was like this is soo amazing.. Life doesnt get better then that
