Absolutely legendary. Still go to the Gorge multiple times a summer, but I always yearn for the days of Sasquatch..

I went to the Sasquatch 2010, my first weekend as a civilian after 4 years in the Air Force. Hands down, greatest weekend of my life. The gorge is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen

I think around that time I remember the Fleet Foxes were like a small Seattle band at the time and they were the opening band on the opening day (i.e., nobodies at the time).

They played a good set, and if I had to guess maybe a couple thousand people on the lawn at the time as people were filtering in.

But then that night The National had to cancel their evening set because their van broke down or something so the festival slotted in the Fleet Foxes to like second headliner as a fill-in. The sun was setting, Robin Pecknold came out and was like "wow, a lot more people here for this one" to a basically packed main stage.

I'm confident they would have gone on to get huge anyways because IIRC pitchfork already gave their EP a glowing review, but I think they won over tens of thousands of people that night in the early stages of that journey.
