Agreed on the Gorge. The Sun setting behind the main stage and the gorge itself was a big reason it was so enjoyable. At one point it started raining and people turned a section of the hill into a big mud slip and slide (until someone broke a leg, but there ya go).
I can't imagine it would be THAT great just for a single 2 hour show. The whole festival going back a couple days and hanging in one spot on the hill for multiple acts as it turns from day to night, that's part of it. Seeing a one off band? Yeah small theatres, bars and ballrooms FTW.
