I’ve now heard from various people that the sound at Sasquatch isn’t nearly as good as it should be/could be.I sort of keep asking various people: artists, roadies, managers, press or whoever, what do they think of the sound at the Gorge vs. Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado. Both are national amphitheaters… except Red Rocks is completely surrounded/enclosed and it vibrates sound back to the audience in a heavenly fashion. The Gorge, on the other hand, has a huge canyon drop behind the main stage which stops the sound from hitting the crowd in the magical fashion that would make it all surreal.Based on every single response I got, people are saying that the sound at Sasquatch isn’t as full and rich as they expected it to be. If you’re at the top of the mountain peering down onto the main stage, it’s actually hard to hear the music period, let alone as crisp as you’d like it to be. And these aren’t cheap tickets so, personally, I think Live Nation could use some of the extra money they’re making on beer and ticket sales to up the sound quality at this thing.Note to Sasquatch: When artists and managers and press all notice that the sound isn’t as good as it should be, people (like me) are going to write about it so get your shit together for Sasquatch 2010, please.Thanks much,-Douche bag music critic
