Nice, I got right in the tent after Skrillex so I had no idea how the crowd looked from the outside.

I had to miss Major Lazer, but, after seeing a Diplo solo show the previous week, I had no desire to be anywhere near him again anyway. He was terrible.

Major lazer was off the hook.

Probably in no particular order. The five best sets I saw included:
Pink Martini. HOLY SHIT. One of the most awesome, sexy, surreal performances I have EVER seen. MOTHERFUCKING BRAZIL. More thoughts on this one later.
MODEST MOUSE. I take back EVERYTHING I ever said. This is one of the greatest sets I've ever seen at Sasquatch. I was going to leave in time to see the start of Ratatat but I couldn't walk away from it. They sounded just SO good. I felt like I was twenty-two years old again. Amazing. I CAME AS A RAT? What the fuck? BABY BLUE SEDAN?? WHOSE LIFE AM I LIVING!?
Bassnectar. All you fuckers were there. I don't even really need to say anything about this. This was the physical manifestation of all the weirdness this board represents. Even mase was there being a creeper!
Black Mountain! Holy shit. By far the best set I saw on Monday. I smoked out a seventeen year old kid; me and Friendly D and Stormy and Souly rocked our faces off. Dude I will never miss another opportunity to see Black Mountain.
Robyn? Foo Dr. Garbanzohters? Flaming Lips? Sleigh Bells? I didn't see a bad set all weekend. I was blown away by every single one of them. I'm forgetting some. I'm still, like, residually high. I have a lot to say about this weekend and I'm trying to get it out in clumps because I'm also still recovering.

Same. Well I would say they were tied with Bassnectar for #1 for me. It was everything perfect about sasquatch all at once for me. Out of the group I went with it was only myself and my girlfriend, it was during sunset, matt & kim had an insane amount of energy, the crowd was awesome, they covered Better off Alone which is one of my favorite songs ever (guilty pleasure), etc etc etc

1. Ratatat ( The birds freaked me the fuck out, also great use of the drugs music video )
2. Flogging Molly
3. Local Natives ( fuck ya dance party on the hill )
4. Chromeo ( Clearly inflatables should be on everyones camping list, also brilliant use of tp )
5. DFA1979
ps.
diplo mixed dub way better then that emo kid and switch is the most hilarious hype man ever.

That's because Skerrit Bwoy is the reason you see Major Lazer live. Without Skerrit Bwoy, there's no point.

That whole set I couldn't help think "This is converting so many people right now." Even listening from home I was flipping my shit (see: Live Stream thread).

Alright here's my top 5 (No particular order)
Modest Mouse: I knew that when they started off with Shit Luck that I was in for a goddamned treat and it was. I even got to hear Cowboy Dan which is one of my favorites. AND I even got to hear the newer songs I really love like Dance Hall. The fact that the new songs sounded good was even better. This set made me realize how much I adore this band.
Matt & Kim: Leaving the Bigfoot for Iron & Wine was one of the biggest mistakes I made. I just adore how HAPPY those two are. With the great crowd interaction and the hundreds of balloons, they had me grinning the entire time.
The Antlers: I began listening to Hospice right after the lineup announcement and now it's one of my favorite albums ever. They only played one song off of it at their show but they all sounded really great. Really looking forward to seeing them again.
Flogging Molly: I've loved these guys for many many years and following this with the Flaming Lips (Which I would put at number 6) was a real treat. The first time I saw them I lost my shoe on the first song I jigged with only one shoe on (Ended with a bloody toe few days later). This time none of that occurred and the two Irish car bombs I had that morning treated me very nicely. And they sounded great as usual.
Bassnectar: I was there with a friend who's a very big dubstep fan and he loved the whole thing (especially the Pink Elephant). Glowpocalypse met my expectations too although I really wish I was with you all during it...But who fucking cares cause this weekend blew my mind 
Top 5-10: Flaming Lips, !!!, Head and the Heart, Beach House, Macklemore
Disappointments: Iron & Wine, Foster The People, DFA 1979 (Kind of)

Wished I could go into more detail on this, but this will have to suffice for the time being until I collect myself once again. But here is my top 5, no particular order, which is a very tough decision because practically every set was stellar all weekend:
Foo Dr. Garbanzohters
The Thermals
Bassnectar
MSTRKRFT
Flogging Molly (what a fucking party)
...and I have to mention:
Rodrigo y Gabriela, Skrllex, Sleigh Bells, The Flaming Lips, Talkdemonic, DFA1979, Major Lazer, Head Like a Kite, White Denim

I cannot limit myself to five so here are my ten.
1. Wilco (complete with a full on lighting storm)
2. !!!
3. Gayngs
4. Wye Oak
5. White Denim
6. Modest Mouse
7. Foster the People
8. Local Natives
9. Wolf Parade
10. Surfer Blood (didn't get to see full set as was at Foster the People, but a good time for what I saw)
Worst show of the few minutes I caught of Flaming Lips returning from Gayngs waiting for Modest Mouse. WTF Wayne. The Gorge is not big enough for his ego. Even with that birthday cake debacle. Still a real let down for a band that I know can really bring it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like Wilco would've been even cooler with a lightning storm.
