10 bands you haven't seen but plan on seeing at ROO

"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods, and rock stars. But we wont, and we're slowly learning that fact & we're very, very pissed off......."
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
THE POLICE tool rodrigo y gabriela manu chao white stripes ornette coleman wilco regina spektor OCMS brazilian girls nightwatchman TLG (saw only one song when they opened for trey in c'ville)

Of course, it all depends on the schedule, but:
Seen before and will see again: Gov't Mule Widespread Panic Galactic North Mississippi Ben Harper
Never seen, but looking forward to:
Police Manu Chao Roots White Stripes Kings of Leon Regina Spektor Xavier Rudd Rodrigo y Gabriela Keller Williams Gillian Welch Richard Thompson DJ Shadow Mavis Staples
Don't know:
Tool (I know nothing about them. I won't miss a headliner, but they're an unknown to me) Ornette Coleman (a legend, but the free jazz I just don't get) Michael Franti (want to like him more than I do; will check him out if I have a chance) Ziggy Marley (seen before and like a lot; but would probably check out someone new if given the chance) Bob Weir and Ratdog (enjoyed them in '05, but don't feel it's a "must-see") Flaming Lips (would like to see, but not if it means giving up the special Mule late night show)

I wouldnt recommend going into the White Stripes show with the idea that people say they are the greatest band of all time, because I am a huge White Stripes fan but I do not believe they are anywhere near the greatest band of all time. If you go in with that mindset you will be let down. Just my two cents on a band I really dig, and if you dont dig em thats all good too. Not everyone is supposed to like them.
