This year after Ratatat I was done and couldn't see Pretty Lights' finally. I enjoyed STS9's set from my tent watching the sun come up in the distance while eating some chicken fingers.
I'd like to see Portgual. The Man get one of these.
Yeah I've seen a handful of sunrise shows. Bisco 10 and I know I saw one in '09 because I remember walking back with my cousin as the sun rose, but it was also my first roo so the memory is a little hazy.
This year I unfortunately didn't get to see any sunrise. I was at PL but only stayed for about an hour or so. I just had a real rough time this year at roo due to some personal issues so I didn't get to go as balls out as usual. Always next year, though.

Bisco '10 dancing like I've never danced before
In '11: Friday Pretty Lights... happy the candy kids went home for the night Saturday STS9... laying in the grass way outside the tent, soaking up the vibes
My biggest regret of this year was missing STS9 but I was just too beat from groovin to Dr. John and just an overall stressful weekend, plus I had to leave early Sunday morning. I'm sure they'll be back soon but still, very bummed I missed it.
I don't know how you guys have the energy to do this. I couldn't last much past 1 am. It could have also been because no one played past then that I was thrilled about.

I see the sunrise every morning for any fest I go to so this sounds great to me. Too many crazy people/things happening to go to bed before then. Though this means I'm napping in centeroo throughout the day. Waka's sunrise sets are amazing. Emancipator's set this year was one of the highlights of the summer for me.
Pretty Lights and Tribe were great at roo this year too.
Gotta agree with EAP on this one. I'm not askin' 'Roo to change it's dates to get lower temps, but if by some weather-related miracle it was some 20-30 degrees cooler overall then sunrise sets would be great. Either ragin' from the night before or startin' that day.

STS9 in '05 played 'till dawn. I was wrecked for half the next day out of exhaustion. I don't think anyone would object to the idea, per se, but I do think AC would have a hard time scheduling a band that most people at the festival probably wouldn't see.
The crowd would be big, but it would only be the faithful freaks that would show up. A Here Come the Mummies set perhaps...?

well i watched Pretty Lights and STS9 till the sun came up this year. It was an amazing sight. I know it kicked my ass going to bed at 7am and getting up by 10am but it was well worth it. This was my 4th Roo and i seem to sleep less every year as i realize how much i miss by not staying up. 3-4hrs of sleep a night is plenty during the very short time that i am on the farm. Remember that old saying "you can sleep when your dead", and since i never feel so Alive as i do when im there, then it's all gravy. Can't wait till next year!!
Yeah, I slept away most of my first Roo. Missed some shows I really wanted to see and layed around too much. Not making that mistake this year. I would be down for a sunrise set. Then over to Yoga. He wouldnt ever do it, but it might be cool to see Warren Haynes play a sunrise set without a short band and an acoustic guitar. Or maybe Stevie Nicks first thing in the morning. Neither would ever happen, but it would be cool as hell. Of course a lot of artists today are too egotistical to play an unusual spot.

I slept during Arcade Fire rested during Deer Tick, Matt and Kim, and Gregg Allman. I went balls out the rest of the fest. My friends named me the best roo'er of our group (thanks to this forum). I'm so down for a sunrise set, not like you can sleep much at bonnaroo anyways from 6-8 am.

In 2010 I had to skip most of disco biscuits for deadmau5, but was happy to find they were still going strong when I showed up afterwards. They raged on into the sunrise. That was my first and only sunrise at roo. I was exausted the next day but it all worked out
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
Haha Juggs the dude in your avatar is the ultimate badass.
I think I have made it to a sunrise each year I've been...Kanye in '08, moe. in '09, Bisco in '10, and STS9 this year. It's gotten progressively harder as I've gotten progressively sober-er.
