Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes always put on a good show but this time the crowd kind of sucked. The other three times I saw them (Sub Pop 20, Capitol Hill Block Party, Moore Theatre) the crowd was reverent, even at the block party, which was a public drunkenness festival. At Sasquatch I saw a lot of people hear the beginning of a song they liked, they hooted and hollered, danced for 30 seconds then made a phone call or engaged in some meaningless and distracting conversation for the duration of the song. It was really hard to enjoy their show because of this. Robin's vocals should have hovered over a hushed audience in such an appropriate venue such as the Gorge, like the towering evergreens at Marymoore for Sub Pop 20, but they were instead disrupted by drunk people who couldn't help but to ruin the show for the rest of us.
