It's always incredible compared to many other things, but compared to past Bonnaroo's I think it's awful. I know quite a few people who go every year who are skipping this year. To each his own I suppose.

And I second The Boss' opinion on Bonnaroo...this lineup does not touch some of the previous years lineups.

yea all 3 days, though leaving early on Sunday

OAR was solid, as always in Columbus.

I'm considering driving to Indianapolis for Bon Iver in late July. I surprisingly dig his new album.

Frightened Rabbit will be opening for Deathcab I think. I will be the first in line for that opener and then probably leave after FR.

Just saw Switchfoot in the hangar bay of a carrier. Not huge fan of them but they were pretty good. Best part was flying to the carrier from my ship on a helo and staying for 3 days.

Why anyone would go see Journey without Steve Perry is beyond me...it's like going to see Van Halen without David Lee Roth(likely worse,atleast hager can sing)

I don't enjoy all their new stuff. But at concerts, they play the good stuff, so it works out great!

Because Arnel Pineda is actually a really good singer, and sounds similar to Steve Perry.

Yes he's so good I've read reports of people getting up before they are halfway done because he doesn't even compare to Steve Perry

That's also why Crew Stadium will be about half full in August

If you get the chance to see Bon Iver, go.

I got to see him back in the summer of '08, at the Wexner Center. Amazing show.

The Keith urban concert last night was amazing. He is an awesome performer and is all over the building. I was literally 5 feet for a couple songs. If you are a country music fan he is a must see.
