I was wondering which acts people have already seen and what their verdict was on them. Are you going to see them again no matter what? OR is the fact that you've already seen them make it less likely that they will be a priority on your schedule?
For me: Bruce - the greatest live performer I've ever seen and wouldn't miss it for the world Alejandro Escovedo - great show and will probably be a priority Coheed and Cambria - kind of boring, but would go again if I've got nothing else to do at the time

The Mars Volta MGMT Wilco Girl Talk Coheed & Cambria (this was in 2005 right after good apollo came out, I'm not really that excited about their show now)
Nine Inch Nails (x3) Beastie Boys (x2) Elvis Costello Ben Harper (x2) Yeah Yeah Yeahs Allen Toussaint Drive By Truckers (without Booker T) Neko Case (x2 solo, x2 with the New Pornographers) Grizzly Bear St. Vincent
Phish* NIN David Byrne Wilco* Badu Ben Harper* (never w/ R7) Mars Volta Gov't Mule Andrew Bird* Band of Horses moe.* Girl Talk Bela Fleck (not Toumani Diabate) Galactic Del McCoury of Montreal Citizen Cope Femi Kuti Grizzly Bear Ted Leo
*=seen many times
In almost every case the fact that I have seen them won't have a big impact on my priorities because they are almost all really great live. In fact my first two priorities are probably Phish and Badu since I've always dreamed of them playing 'Roo and love their shows so much.
Citizen Cope and Ted Leo are the only ones I won't be too motivated to see again. Ted actually puts on a great show, he just plays locally all the time for cheap. For Galactic and moe, I've seen them quite a bit at Bonnaroo, so if there was a conflict that might come into play.
Paul Oakenfold and MGMT. I was supposed to see Grizzly Bear open for Radiohead this summer, but I got caught up in traffic and missed their set. I was also meant to go see Crystal Castles a while back but my friend cancelled last minute.

ive only seen 2 bands on the line up:
MGMT - last years Bonnaroo, i enjoyed the show and it was a fun way to kick off the weekend. Coheed and Cambria(3 times) - seen them headline a show twice and once as a part of mini-fest in which they had a shorter set. they were good with the shorter set, but headlining sets i saw they were amazing.
