I have been to the Gorge about eight times (split between Phish and Dave Matthews) and it is definitely the coolest place I have ever seen a concert! The sun setting behind the stage while one of your favorite bands is down there playing on the stage, river in the background, beautiful scenery. What more do you really want? One tip for those of you going in the hotter summer months, sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen! And a water spray bottle comes in handly to cool down. It gets VERY hot down there! Have fun and enjoy!
