NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL. just making sure people see that, cuz they'd be great

okay pearl jam, rhcp, & tool would not be good at the roo
i like em all but this isnt the right venue

toubab krewe ----(blows my mind)

string cheese incident ----(late-night-huge-double-set-show)
Robert Plant?? Jimmy PAGE?? ----(¿eh?)
a phish reunion!!!! -----(cheesecake)
BB king ----(someone bring insulin)

Red Hot Chili Peppers at Roo would be enough to make me skip the festival. They are that horrible.

I don't know if Tool has the right aura for it, they have incredible mind bending shows but I just don't think they would fit at Roo.

Isis, Sigur Ros, Portishead, Jose Gonzalez, Josh Ritter....even Leonard Cohen would be fantastic on my Ultimate Wish List.

personally I would like to see some modern pscyhedelic bands play. With the except tion of Dungen which is a little different then the pscyh bands I would like to see its not a section of music Bonnaroo has given a shot at the fest.

Im talking about a stage with the Black Angels, the Warlocks, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Kinda like the hip hop stage last year but this year a psych / space / stoner rock stage. These bands have all played with each other at some point, a collaboration between several of the members of this band would be intense. I've seen Anton from BJM team up with Black Angels and just make some stuff of for 10 mins, its a site, and BJM turning a song into a 45 min jam, awesome. This stuff would blow peoples minds.

Its a combo of the free form jam scene and the rock scene that bonnaroo has mixed very well.

I'd like to see CSNY as a headliner, that would be cool

No thank you on the Tool or Incubus headliners. Yeah they have a trippy stage show but I just wouldnt dig the vibe of their music while at Roo.

Eh, the reunion would be cool, but do either of them have enough interest as solo artists without the PF catalog?

Well the reunion alone would make the festival, but if that weren't there, would you want two nights of those two headlining without the PF catalog? It's still a pretty unique idea. If you were to pick either of the two, which would it be? I don't know what their solo records sound like, but I see the merits of either one. Waters is the writer of so many wonderful songs, but Gilmour's voice sounded better at Live8 and played his parts beautifully. I guess it's really a win-win situation between the two.

As to other band suggestions, the Black Keys would be cool, Muse, Speakeasy, Neil Young, and even though I don't know much about it, Zappa plays Zappa sounds exciting.

edit: The Kristofferson idea is awesome.

For bonnaroo I'd say that Gilmour would do better as a headliner that Waters. Though I'd almost rather see Waters. It's a really fickle pick between the two. Though Gilmour is an amazing psych-rock artist, and pretty much defines the Pink Floyd sound, Waters is an amazing artist and is the genius behind the amazing live shows that they've put on. Either way, both sell out almost every show they play, and I personally believe either would be great at the roo. But reunited... well a kid can dream can't he.

Also, I would go to bonnaroo almost entirely for ZPZ. I wanted to go to the Atlanta show, but it's during finals week and I can't make it. To have the Zappas play in my backyard... well, a kid can dream some more.

And one last note, I still see a CCR reunion, but in the Oysterhead slot from last year. They're big, but not big enough to headline. I'd imagine that Gnarls Barkley will be there, but if not I'd say that Dangermouse will dominate one hip-hop slot, and make appearances in all of the others. U2 will not be at bonnaroo, simply because I hate U2. They're too political, and they did a song with Green Day. I hate them, always and forever. I don't care how amazing their live shows are. I'll keep my radiohead, thanks. Sufjan will be there, I'm almost positive. Simple songs for simple folks, maybe, but still an amazing indie artist on the rise. Also, I think it's about time for some Pfunk to host a late night spot. Superfly, if you even glance at these boards, make my christmas wish and bring in some George. I think the beastie boys would do well there, as well. They may be very commercial, but I'd much rather go to a beasite boys set than a cypress hill show. Grace Potter will be back, I'm sure, as well as MMJ, but I don't forsee another jacket late-night show. I could be wrong though.

Since they're winding down too, do you think Nickel Creek will make another appearance in 07? I know they've played several times now, but last year they were up against some of the hardest competition all weekend.

Maybe..I say 50/50. They have only played the festival 2 times, which is alot less compared to others.

isaac, did you see Massive Attack at ACL? I would really like to see them at Bonnaroo, maybe in the late night spot Trey had during 2005. I had no idea they were so good and wasn't really aware of their music until ACL.

Oh, about Sufjan. He apparently doesn't play outdoor venues, (with the only exception being Sasquatch) likely because he thinks the intricate nature of his music would be lost in the open air chaos. This was his reasoning for not playing Lollapalooza or ACL (both tried to book him.)

It's an understandable concern, but with the success of Radiohead at Bonnaroo and other similarly detailed performers, I wouldn't completely rule him out.

For me it was my favorite moment of the whole weekend. Just goes to show what different shows do for different folks. I'm still young, so I don't really have money or the chance to travel (Cheese never comes near me) so that was only my second time seeing them, with the first being earlier in the day at ACL. I was only about 20 feet back and thought that the jams were good, and when they played Magic Carpet Ride it was great. Way Back Home sandwiching the whole set was also really cool for me. The best moment was the Devil Went Down to Georgia riff. That had the whole place jumping.

When I was in line to talk to SCI at the festival I met a guy who said the Duo show indoor was amazing. He also said that there might have been 100 people there, that the crowd was just tiny. At the festival they were about the closest I got, right on the rail, and it was a very enjoyable show. A whole lot of noise for just two guys. Unfortunately I wouldn't have been allowed to watch the Stubbs indoor show, age limits.

I wouldn't be that surprised to see G.R.A.B back at the Bonnaroo, only in a headlining or near-headlining position. The Duo carry a lot of musical talent and I'd be interested to see them in collaborations with other artists.

Two bands that I think that would be a good for for roo next year would be the French Kicks and Spank Rock. I saw these two bands open up shows and I was really impressed with both.
