The Flips v. Govt Mule last year. I planned to hit up Mule for a couple songs, then head over to the Flips. Instead, I fell asleep waiting for Mule to start and missed everything. I'm still ticked at myself.

I gotta go with MMW vs. Beck in '06. MMW was scheduled to start a half hour before Beck, so I figured I'd be able to catch roughly 45 minutes of each set, save for the grueling walk from The Other Tent to What Stage. But then MMW started 35 minutes late, so we only caught a couple tunes before booking it over to Beck, who of course ended his set about 15 minutes early. On top of that, all the cool MMW guests (DJ Logic, G. Love) came out later in their set. Gah!
Last year, my only true major conflict was Lips/Mule Well, it's ME we are talking about, so the Lips won hands down... BUT... when Wayne and the boys were done, we headed over to the end of Warren's set, and were JUST IN TIME FOR BLACK SABBATH ... it's like Warren KNEW that I couldn't be there until then, and so he saved a little somthing special, just for me, he saved it 'till I got there ;D ;D ;D
LOL, the same happened to me, and I felt special... like he knew I'd be wandering by... I seriously regret going to Flaming Lips and missing Gov't Mule... Flips did the same thing they always do, every single damn show, and Gov't Mule, once again, had a once in a lifetime show.
Never forgive myself for that one... Flips were fun though, so it's all good.

i had that problem but the lips kinda peaked for me during the soundcheck when they played war pigs so i left half way through and got over to this tent just in time to see jpj walk on stage. although it was wrong i would have liked to been able to see what was thrown at lewis black because it sounded like it exploded on him, anyone know what it was?

I respectfully disagree. Mountainside, Moonlight Mile, What is the Light-->The Observer, Tapsmir, The spaceship. It was as unique as a Lips show gets nowadays. I regret nothing.
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
2007 - When Ben Harper, Keller Williams and Ween were all on simultaneously. How could that happen?! I stayed front and center for Ben Harper and never regretted the decision!
Not the worst conflict, but the most obvious one: 2005 - Matisyahu vs. Toots and the Maytals - you have only two reggae acts on all weekend and you put them on simultaneously?

I had a tough one with that 2006 Saturday night mess. Beck vs Cypress Hill vs. Medeski Martin and Wood vs Blues Traveler vs Les Claypool. Beck won by a nosehair.
Agreed. That one was a bitch. I ended up at Beck (and caught a little Cypress Hill). If Ihad it to do over, I would have worked some MMW in there.
While I didn't like the Mule/Flips/Galactic conflict in '07, I'm uncontrollably drawn to Mule shows no matter who else is playing.

Yeah that was silly...lets not let that happen again!

That was like having Public Enemy and Cypress Hill on at the same time at Vegoose this year. Odd scheduling.

worst for me was tied tween flips-mule-galctic and sasha digweed
s barely got to see much flips which i know was a loss but i did see mule and weir for that highlight and lewis black come out then left for 6 packed and high energy hours at 2 of the best djs of all time i had been listening to sasha and digweed since like 93 so no choice there i amnaged to be there til i believe like 8 in the morning or so b4 they finally called it quits and man it was incredibly righteous!
and o6 claypool-cypress hill-beck-bela fleck man that was tough as hell but i boogied mostly through beck then managed to hear insane in the membrane en route to claypool in time to hear his las t3 songs!so it was ok and beck was t totally friggin awesome as heck man!specially the video at the end of his set!
lets just hope for no bigtime conflivts this year especially on the latenight sets man those aaaaaargh the best!
^Sounds almost exactly like my situation with MMJ that year : That was my first Roo, so I went wild... I was so tired by the end of Tom Petty, I had to go back to sleep.

Yes but Beck ended early so I ran over and caught Hits From The Bong, Wanna Get High plus a few other classics. The was able to catch 25-30 mins of MMW my favorite 3+hrs of ROO ever

Would've done the same, but my peeps were all f'ed up and tired, and I wasn't about to lose my spot for Radiohead.

that's a pretty easy decision, Toots is old and terrible now. I saw him from about 5th row opening for DMB last year and was laughing the whole time. He played guitar like a 60-year old Mongoloid and his lyrics were unintelligeable! His band was pretty good though...
