i would LOVE to see morrissey, a reappearance by manu chao and the arcade fire, and more of the dancey stuff like lady sovereign and justice. i agree that a dance dome/ tent would be far superior to the comedy tent and i hope it's there - it's the one thing that's missing to get everyone's energy up! the constant mid-tempo heavily orchestrated bands that have played the last few years are great, but it gets a little auditorily repetitive. since coffee is a pretty penny, dancing is a good alternative to wake up! much as i love the view at the gorge, i do have to say that the security is INSANE. while the gorge is stunning, i would say the bag searches, no reentry, expensive everything, and constantly aggro security severely detract from the music and experience. maybe i'm just spoiled with the laidback california fests. the folks i went with last year said it was "the most offensively corporate festival" they'd ever attended. i guess i could really do without a lot of the college radio standbys that are jack johnson-esque - i love getting to actually see kinda new bands... but sasquatch certainly isn't cutting edge. it's just pretty enough scenery and the line-up just good enough to keep me driving two states away to go...
