I added Brothers Past (thanks LIGuy, I gave that source a ? for now) and moved Mike Gordon from Friday to Saturday as per his mini-tour announcement at his site and phish.com. His myspace tour dates still say the 16th, but the official announcement with the 17th on there is right above it.

Got this off of the Bonnaroo Listserv, not sure if it's true or not:
Just got this google alert about a Warren Haynes interview. Here is what he said about Bonnaroo this year:
"Q: Will you put in your usual appearance at Bonnaroo (the June 16-18 music fest near Manchester, Tenn.)?
A: No, we're not doing Bonnaroo. This will be the first year that I haven't been. I've played Bonnaroo every year, and usually with two or three bands.
Q: Are you skipping due to scheduling, or is it more a "been there, done that" sort of thing?
A: All the above. It was inevitable that at some point I would have to miss one."
What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.
Bela Fleck is gonna be on the main stage. Little information for a big post, but you'll still probably find this interesting:
ANNOUNCING THE ACOUSTIC PLANET TOUR 2006
Bela Fleck & The Flecktones Announce Return of Innovative Acoustic Planet Tour
Béla Fleck & The Flecktones will kick off the newest incarnation of their wildly successful Acoustic Planet Tour on June 23, following the band's main stage performance at the Bonnaroo and Telluride Music Festivals earlier that month. Featuring an innovative concert set up -- three different bands/artists, each sitting in on the others sets, and each set transitioning smoothly into the next -- The Acoustic Planet Tour Vol. II spotlights a diverse set of artists handpicked by Fleck and the band. All shows finish with a finale performance that includes all three acts simultaneously. This summer's editon marks the second outing for the tour, which was created and inagurated by the Flecktones in 2004 and drew widespread acclaim and fan support.
The Flecktones crown an impressive line-up including The Del McCoury Band, Umphrey's McGee, Keller Williams, Yonder Mountain String Band, Natalie MacMaster, The Duhks, Chris Thile from Nickel Creek, Adrian Belew, and Marc Broussard. Kicking off in California (with a first week including San Diego and Los Angeles) the Flecktones will be joined by Yonder Mountain String Band and Keller; with Chris and The Duhks on Washington and Oregon stops. Picking back up in August following a Flecktones tour in Europe, the Acoustic Planet Tour Vol. II will hit the East Coast, with New England and Mid-Atlantic stops with Natalie and Del McCoury. The Flecktones¹ finish up the last leg of the tour with Umphrey¹s McGee and Marc at D.C. area's famed Wolf Trap on the 13th before capping off the tour in the Southeast..
Béla Fleck & The Flecktones¹ Acoustic Planet Tour Vo. II comes on the heels of raves for their newest album ŒThe Hidden Land.¹ "By far their best album" according to Billboard, the Flecktones new album has notched remarkable praise: Says Performing Songwriter, "The Hidden is rife with strong compositions... these 13 tunes showcase the Flecktones' signature mix of jazz, bluegrass and pop at its virtuosic best." The San Francisco Chronicle raves, "It's not easy stuff to play... but they sound like they're having a joyous time doing it."
The Acoustic Planet Tour: 6/23 Humphrey's, San Diego, CA (Yonder and Keller) 6/24 The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA (Yonder and Keller) 6/25 Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA (Yonder and Keller) 6/26 Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, Santa Rosa, CA (Yonder and Keller) 6/27 Crystal Ballroom, Portland, OR (Chris and The Duhks) 6/28 Moore Theater, Seattle, WA (Chris and The Duhks) 8/7 Bank of America Pavilion, Boston, MA (Natalie and Del McCoury) 8/8 Cape Cod Melody Tent, Hyannis, MA (Natalie and Del McCoury) 8/10 Shelbourne Farms, Burlington, VT (Natalie and Del McCoury) 8/11 Ives Concert Park, Danbury, CT (Natalie and Del McCoury) 8/12 Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, PA (Natalie and Del McCoury) 8/13 Wolf Trap, Vienna, VA (Umphrey's McGee and Marc) 8/14 Pier Six, Baltimore, MD (Umphrey's McGee and Marc) 8/16 Chastain Park, Atlanta, GA (Umphrey's McGee and Adrian) 8/18 Regency Park, Cary, NC (Umphrey's McGee and Marc)
Ohhh, I hope that's right. I'm glad they're not plopping Bobby Bare Jr. on Thursday. I've always read good things about his live shows and love the little bit of his music that I've heard.
If you change the number at the end of the url to a number from 1-9, you get old festival schedules (1 is Bonnaroo '04, 3 is Bonnaroo '05, 9 brings up Summercamp '06, etc.).
It seems pretty fair to assume that Bonnaroo '06 will be number 11, so you can bet I'll be checking that url with illogical frequency (it doesn't work right now, but you know you're going to go try it anyway).
Dumpstaphunk can't be saturday. The Rhythm section of Trey's band, Tony Hall and Raymond Weber, is the same Rhythm Section in Dumpstaphunk. Trey said on Sirius yesterday that He, Ray P., Tony and Raymond will be touring with the 2 girls this summer, opening for Tom Petty. So clearly Dumpstaphunk cannot have a show on Saturday at Bonnaroo if their Rhythm Section is opening for Tom Petty on Saturday in St. Louis. It makes more sense this way, since Ian Neville probably won't be puling double duty with the Neville Bros. and Dumpstaphunk both on Saturday.
I'm thinking it shapes up with Dumpstaphunk in the early afternoon on Friday, Petty Headliner, Oysterhead late night. Neville Bro's on Saturday. Maybe Trey will sit in with Ian Neville, too? (Ian sat in with Trey during his NOLA superjam last year, as well as with Serialpod in Asheville at the Xmas pre-jam).
FWIW, Trey also announced on Sirius that He, Mike and the Duo are playing as a unit, touring with Phil and Friends from 6/28 until 10K lakes.
