Wish I could be there. Looks like its going to be awesome. I Would kill to see Radiohead live.

[Tron]

Death Cab and The Streets are my recommendations.

Also, I second Common.

[4_2_it]

Elvis Costello, Buddy Guy and Les Claypool(Primus) would be on my list.

If you're into rap/hip hop see Atmosphere. I grew up listening to those guys in MN. I recently saw Common on the UT campus and he put on a pretty good show, but I was hoping for a little more.

I saw moe. recently and they kicked ass for over a 3 hour set. I saw Buddy Guy at ACL last year and he was really good. Robert Randolph was also awesome at ACL. I saw Death Cab at ACL and they weren't that great. I recently saw them with Franz Ferdinand and they flat out sucked.

I saw Blues Traveller and they were pretty good. That's all that I can weigh in on for your "other" live acts here.

Rusted Root is one of my favorite jam bands, but I've never seen them. Also you may want to check out the thread that was done on Bonaroo already.

I am so sad that I will not be attending this. Going to lollapalooza... but I think Bonnaroo looks much much better [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[11t]

Slug and Ant are pretty awesome.

[JoshuaD]

I'm gonna be there. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

What stuff is everyone bringing with them?

[foureightsuited]

Another hiphop act you will want to check out is Blackalicious, gift of gab is amazing.

Also,
Sonic Youth
Matisyahu
G. Love & Special Sauce (never seen them but I hear they are great live)
Atmosphere
Common

Slightly random question....

For those who know the 2004 Bonnaroo dvd, do you know what song i playing when you're just at the menu screen? Its a chill funky kind of jazzy sound, and i really like it, but i can't seem to find the song on the dvd! oh and i think this is the first disc i'm talking about...

anyone know?
