I've seen some great shows at the Gorge, though:
Steve Miller
Charlie Daniels Band
Dave Matthews
Journey
A bunch of others that I can't remember......
But the top 2 Gorge concerts for me were definitely
Pearl Jam 2005
John Hiatt/Stevie Ray Vaughan/Robert Cray in a crazy lightning storm in 1989
The Shop
Best concert at RedRocks for me has to be The Police hands down. We were lucky enough to be about ten rows up and center perfect seats

McCready lost interest in playing guitar for some time, stating that he "was so depressed about life."[5] He cut his hair, enrolled in a local community college, and spent his nights working at a video store.[2] He credits a friend named Russ Riedner for "getting me out of my college mode and back into playing guitar."[2] McCready was inspired to pick up his guitar again after attending a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. McCready said:
"As soon as he started "Couldn't Stand the Weather", these huge clouds rolled in overhead, and rain began pouring down. When the song ended, the rain stopped! It was like a religious experience, and it changed me. It lifted me out of the negative mindset I was in, and it got me playing again. I thank him forever for that."[5]
McCready gradually went back to playing guitar and finally joined another band called Love Chile.[2] A childhood friend, Stone Gossard, went to one of the band's shows and appreciated McCready's work after hearing him perform Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Couldn't Stand the Weather".[6] Gossard had known McCready from back before high school when the two would trade rock band pictures with each other.[2] After the demise of Gossard's band Mother Love Bone, he asked McCready if he wanted to play music together with him.[3] After a few months of practicing together, McCready in turn encouraged Gossard to reconnect with his Mother Love Bone alum Jeff Ament.[6]
Just found the video with DM and his band talking about The Gorge. Keep in mind that this venue DEFINES the meaning of BFE when it comes to location. It's a few hours from any major city, and around 45 minutes from even my small town. But the place is really a great venue and draws some great crowds for just about any genre of music.
