Bummed I missed Bootsy and Forro. Also bummed I had to leave Bela Fleck early but my friends were all nagging me that they wanted to go to the fountain so I had to oblige.
I wish I had gone to see Cold War Kids instead of Iron & Wine. I've seen both before, so it's not a big deal to me, but I heard great things about Cold War Kids' set, and personally, I thought Iron & Wine was pretty awful. I hate how jammy they've gotten. They don't play original versions of almost any of their songs anymore.

Missed Cold War Kids for Iron & Wine and Girl talk for Gogol. I had a great time at Gogol, but afterwards I made it over for the last 10-15 minutes of Girl Talk and had an amazing time. Wish I had been over there earlier for more of the show.

Should have went to see The Strokes rather than the Superjam. Although I heard The Strokes were not great either so I guess it was a lose lose situation for me.

Couldn't agree more, though I hadn't seen either before. Iron and Wine was the most disappointing set to me. I was 50/50 between the two but went with Iron and Wine to get a good spot for The Strokes. I would have sacrificed the good spot to not almost fall asleep standing up in the middle of the day.
Missed School of Seven Bells to wait in line for Rollins tickets. Got front row at Rollins, was worth it but god I wanted to see them so badly...
I've missed them twice now! At Moogfest everyone else took their time getting ready at the hotel so I missed the show, and at roo I couldn't make it until Friday. I WILL see them some day, though!
The only ones I'm really bummed about missing are Gogol Bordello, Dam Funk and Futurebirds. Gogol is the one that really hurts - that's probably my biggest regret from this year. I wish Gogol and Dr. John had been reversed, because I just didn't have the energy for them that late. I didn't have the energy for Dam Funk either, and I got into Centeroo too late for Futurebirds.

I had a terrible headache all day Saturday and missed almost all the daytime shows I wanted to see.
Biggest regrets : Mumford & Sons, Portugal, Deer Tick (although my buddy said they were just okay aside from a few standout songs), and EITS (caught the last 20 minutes and it was so amazing)
I did see almost every other show I planned on, many of them from very good spots, and I had such an amazing time this year. One of the things I learned is how AWESOME it is to show up early and get a nice spot... Another thing I learned is that Deerhunter are so amazing live and I can't wait to see those guys again.

I slept through The Head and the Heart because I stayed for all of STS9 late night. Poor decision because STS9 is playing late night at All Good and THATH was in my top 3 must sees.
Missed Wavves(slept Thursday afternoon at camp), Primus(Line for Arcade Fire), Bassnectar (Black Angels and Big Boi were too good to leave), Ratatat, Portugal. The Man, Mumford and Sons(must see, skipped to see Wiz Khalifa and was incredibly disappointed), Eminem (too packed to even see at the arch).... Sunday was pretty lackluster and I had no problem missing Cold War Kids or the Strokes.
Oh, and fell asleep next to Girl Talk.... pretty much wasting Saturday late night passed out TWO years in a row...

I have one big regret that has haunted me ever since I left the farm. I missed Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears and it's been killing me. They were my #1 act that I haven't seen live, and I missed them due to lazy friends. In retrospect, I probably wouldn't have made it to 4 am Saturday night without the extra sleep, but it still hurts when everybody talks about how awesome they were. Someone please lie to me and say they were terrible (like they played nothing but Justin Beiber covers or something)
Other regrets: Railroad Earth, The League (Mavis Staples was too good), Greg Allman, The Meters (SCI ruled but I know I missed something special). Leaving Big Boi early with my friends for Lil Wayne was a terrible decision as well.
On Thursday I only caught the last 10 minutes or so of Sleigh Bells. I was pretty disappointed because that was one of the main shows I wanted to see on Thursday. The 10 minutes of it that I did catch was pretty fun, I must admit.
On Friday I had to miss Lil' Wayne for Bassnectar (but there was no way I was gonna miss Bassnectar), and I also skipped out on Ratatat and Shpongle for Pretty Lights. Pretty Lights was amazing, I just wish I caught a little bit of the other two because I heard they were both really great.
My biggest disappointment would probably be skipping STS9 for Girl Talk. I had so much fun at Girl Talk, and it was definitely one of my favorite shows of the weekend, but I heard STS9's set was mindblowing. I should have checked it out after Girl Talk ended, but I was so tired. (He said he was gonna take the show into the morning and he only played for 30 extra minutes. Gregg Gillis is such a Jew with his shows, always cutting them short.)
On Sunday we didn't go to one show because everyone was exhausted and wanted to leave before the crowd came. (I seriously slept on a bed of gravel in the middle of everyone walking that day.) So we ended up leaving mid afternoon. I'm kind of disappointed that I missed Iron & Wine and Neon Trees, but those weren't too high up on my list of who to see anyways, so not a huge regret.
