Just wondering what your experiences were? What's the place like? It looks amazing from the pictures I've seen.

Who did you see there Brock?

I've seen Tom Petty (can't remember the year), REM (last summer), U2 (1983), and a few others that escape me. Just fantastic every time.

I also want to go to a show at The Gorge in Seattle, which I've heard is awesome too.

Roger that on The Gorge. Never been but want to go. I googled it and it is seriously in the sticks but looks amazing. It's not really that close to Seattle.

Been there many times when it's empty (it's a fun tourist site when the fam comes to town). I saw Blues Traveler there July 4, 2007, and I'll be seeing Flight of the Conchords there in may. Definitely a cool experience.

I love me some Blues Traveler. Their debut album came out about the same time they turned me loose at the college radio station. I got to meet Popper backstage at a solo show in Ann Arbor.

I too have not seen a show there but made a stop by there one time when I was up in CO. Very cool venue. There was just "some guy" up on stage playing a mandolin to his heart's content the day went.

That's one of the coolest aspects of the place IMO. I don't know of many other venues in the world where a musician can just walk in and play to get a taste of what it would be like to play there. There's almost always a decent number of people there as tourists, exercising on the stairs, and that type of thing.
