I went to the first Bonnaroo back in 2002. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I went to go see Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, but I ended up getting turned on to so many other great bands. Widespread Panic, moe., Galactic, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir played together. The whole festival had this special vibe going on, it's hard to explain unless you went. It really helped shape my current musical influences.
I haven't been since, but I hear its changed a lot. This years lineup looks good though. I think I’m going to go to
