What show did you miss that you regret the most. You may have missed it because of a conflict, traffic, to much no no word or you discovered the artist after Bonnaroo.
Last year was my first Roo 2013 will be my second. The show I missed last year that is my biggest regret is The Alabama Shakes show. I had to miss it because my sister in law was pregnant and wasn't feeling good so we had to take her back to the tent.
Non music related but I also regret not getting an Amish Doughnut.

Went for the first time in 2010. My friends and I had absolutely no idea what we were doing and we were completely burned out before the sun even set and we all ended up sleeping through Jay-Z. On the positive side, it did give us a nice rest for the Disco Biscuits LN set.
A quick story! I found out about bonnaroo by seeing the back of a bonnaroo 2003 shirt at ACL 03. Missed the Neil young crazy house, James brown, sonic youth, by not knowing. Got my ticket pre lineup for 04, 09, 13!
Biggest bonnaroo show regret was not seeing doc Watson in 04! Just didn't know. No excuse.

I think my biggest regret was missing Hall/Chromeo in favor of Flips. I'd make the same choice again but that show wasn't archived and I really wanted to see it. It was my only real conflict that year and it was a painful one. Other than that I had to miss all of Thursday in 2012 due to work and the lineup for that day was just incredible.
Mine is skipping MMJ in 2006 AND 2008. I was not really a fan at the time, so never made the effort. They are now my favorite band and I listen to the bootlegs from these 2 shows all the time... kicking myself for missing these shows. In 2006 we were parked close enough to hear the crowd going crazy late into the evening, missing an epic set like that one just kills me.

I had seen MMJ in 06 and 08 so I '11 I skipped them to see Primus playing on the Which stage. I love Claypool and me and a buddy see him together every time he plays roo (our standing roo date)but the energy from the what stage could just be felt during the show. You could hear the crowd going nuts and when the little LED helicopters started falling from the sky i know that we were missing something special. Def not missing Jim James or the Super Jam this year.

I missed Florence and the Machine in 11...didn't really know her music..someone told me to look into her afterwards...probably the only show I reallyyyyyyy regret missing
My biggest regret was getting in the car line to enter the farm at 4 o'clock thursday. I didn't actually enter the farm for another 2 and a half hours. Some small kids on bikes (around 14ish) were trying to get us to take a side road that they claimed would loop to the front and then I could cut off someone but I didn't take that chance in case I'd lose my spot. I also regret not taking that road, I've always wondered where it went (google maps wasn't loading on my phone very well back then or I'd have known then.)
I also regret not going last year but I was on the wrong side of the country at that time.
2008 I was at MMJ and my friend and I sat out early to get a good spot. It started raining, my group arrived and wanted to go to another stage and I left. I pretty much went to see MMJ and I left out of peer pressure (also I was pregnant and wasn't feeling good yet about staying out alone). Went to the tea tent, burned my hand, friends got frustrated with the rain, we all went back to camp and I was lying on my air mattress listening to One Big Holiday not wanting to cry. But it was a learning experience, I never did that again and the next night my pregnant self stayed up to see Kanye's whole set.
2010, I had partied too hard the whole weekend and couldn't muster enough up to see Jay-Z and sat at my campsite in a tent chair seeing the glow of the stage and hearing the show and wishing I paced myself better. Another learning experience, that never happened again.
Missed The Dead Weather in 2010, no clue what I was doing/very ill prepared. Slept from 9 til 3AM missing RHCP and Alice Cooper last year, though did end up seeing Dumpstaphunk and Big Freedia later, absolute gem shows. And in 2011 I didn't take good care of myself, ended up passing out and being taken to the medical tent, missing The Black Keys in the process.
Missing Art vs. Science's midnight fountain show... I thought it was the next night!!! As i was walking back to camp I could hear AvS being played very loud and I just assumed someone was blasting their CD from a car.

me too dude! /thought it was the following night also... caught the other 2 shows though
Not bringing an EZ-Up my first year. That was rough.
Last year was my first and my biggest regret is losing my tarp during the scramble to setup camp and not being able to hang it on the side of my EZ Up to protect from the morning sun.
I was actually very pleased with myself as far as shows because I not only hit every show I wanted to see but discovered several new artist. I had planned out my days well, kept my energy up, and was a machine going from stage to stage. I have been to a lot of festivals and have never been able to say that. I guess it is something you learn from experience and age.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

Missing Ween in 2010 it was my 1st year for my whole group and to say we were unprepared was an understatement.
Damnit I forgot about that one, opens up an old wound...also in 2010 missing Most of the F'lips Dark Side of The Moon set because, well because of too much of a good thing. Wayne's advice:
but I was on the wrong side of the country at that time.
