Wow! I didnt know about that doc!  I went there in 1998?for the beginning of a phish tour.  Knew nothing about it before.  Was 2 or 3 nights with camping.  Was amazing experience.  Im gonna watch that asap
  Thanks.

Drove from Syracuse to George, WA where the gorge is...?  going off of shaky memory.  Festival stops along the way.  We left 3 weeks before the shows at the Gorge, went to 5 or so festivals and camped in Montana for at least 10 days.  
Made our way to the Gorge and set up our camp.  Maybe 20-30k people there.  
Once you left the camping, walked towards the stage and made it to the peak...a couple peaks if ya know what i mean...and looked down onto the lawn and stage area was quite the surprise.  Its like the Grand Canyon with a gradual slope where the stage is almost to the bottom.  Huge Canyon cliffs as far as the eye can see, amazing sunset.  Some boats in the river but not many.
Unmatched scenery for an amphitheater.  Amazing for sound!  I also was impressed first time at the Lakeview!

But no comparison.

We were surprised with the desert like conditions there while camping.  Super dry, hot and looked desert like.  
So when we finally left we hit the road to the coast to jump into the ocean on our way to mountainview in CA for next show.  We blindly arrived in Cannon Beach, OR.  Immediately realized that was where the Goonies was filmed based on the huge rocks.  Huge signs everywhere warning us of no swimming, dates listed of recent drownings.  
I was young, dumb and wasted so i went in but carefully.  I gained a huge appreciation that day of the power of the oceans.
Went home about 6 weeks later after the tour and a very interesting stay at a commune in TN.
